Members of FT Island meet with a Malaysian burn victim




The heartwarming news of FT Island meeting with a Malaysian burn victim has been revealed to the public.

Tan Hui Linn, is a Malaysian girl who suffered from third degree burns, lost her vision in her right eye and has burns all over her body. FT Island heard about Tan Hui Linn and that she was fighting through her burn treatment by listening to FT Island’s songs and they decided to visit her in the hospital last month on the 25th.

In 2009, Tan Hui Linn’s father, who was suffering from mental illnesses, poured acid on her and her mother. Unfortunately, her mother passed away from the incident and Tan Hui Linn suffered injuries, including losing vision in her right eye and being left with scar tissues over much of her face and body. At the time, Malaysian media called her the ‘Survivor’ and she gained a lot of attention.

FT Island stated, “Once we heard there was a fan who was dealing with her painful treatment by listening to our songs, we decided to visit her in order to give her whatever support we could“.

In related news, FT Island’s ‘Five Treasure Box‘ has ranked number 1 on Taiwan’s album charts, proving their international popularity.

Let’s all hope for the recovery of Tan Hui Linn and give applause to FT Island for their warm hearts.

FT Island Lee Hong Gi Apologizes for Lying about being BFFs with Yoon Shi Yoon




FT Island’s Lee Hong Gi made a national apology on television for lying.

On October 16, the singer appeared on SBS’ Strong Heart and admitted that he is not friends with actor Yoon Shi Yoon, best known as Kim Tak Gu in KBS’ Baker King, Kim Tak Gu.

The reason why this is becoming an issue is because the two stars have appeared on a program that introduces celebrities and their best friends.

“There used to be a show called Introducing a Star’s Friend I usually bring out my most talented or best-looking friends,” explained Lee Hong Gi. “But after appearing three times, I ran out of friends to bring, so I ended up appearing with a close producer’s friend, who was Yoon Shi Yoon.”

“We were supposed to get close before the broadcast, but because we were so busy, we ended meeting for the first time on the morning of the filming,” added Lee Hong Gi, admitting that they rushed to find out things about each other.

Due to their awkwardness, they weren’t able to show their charms and ended up eating alone, instead of with the other celebrities and their friends.

Lee Hong Gi and Yoon Shi Yoon drifted apart after the show and Yoon Shi Yoon ended up becoming a big star with his drama.

The stars pretended to still be friends in interviews, but then fate caught up with them, when they met again at an award ceremony with Yoon Shi Yoon as an awarder and FT Island as a receiver.

“We weren’t able to greet each other as friends, but just awkwardly bowed our heads to each other.”

Lee Hong Gi then ended his story by apologizing once more for lying and then left a message to Yoon Shi Yoon, hoping that they can actually become close friends in the future.
