FTI in Manila

South Korean boy band FTIsland (FTI) performs live in Manila on March 6 at the Plenary Hall of the Philippine International Convention Center (PICC).

FTIsland Manila 2010 Showcase is a two-part limited engagement for devoted FTI fans, a.k.a. “Primadonnas.” Just before the boys hit the center stage, 50 lucky Filipino “Primadonnas” will have a chance to get up-close with the FTIsland members in an exclusive fan meet.

FTIsland is short for “Five Treasure Island” where each member is considered a treasure. Its members are Lee Hong Ki, Choi Jong Hoon (leader, guitar, keyboard), Choi Min Hwan (drums), Song Seung Hyun (guitar, vocal, rap), and Lee Jae Jin (bass, vocal rap).

FTIsland debut album Cheerful Sensibility earned the sixth slot in South Korea’s best-selling albums in 2007. The album Cheerful Sensibility has 13 songs divided into two parts, the Emotional Chapter that is more inclined to rock ballad and FTIsland Chapter that includes upbeat pop and rock songs. It sold around 80,000 copies, making it the sixth best-selling album of 2007 in Korea.

FTIsland won more music awards within their debut year, including Best New Male Group in M.Net/KM Music Festival and Best New Group in Asia Song Festival.
