FTISLAND's Choi MIN HWAN, ”It was tough when Lee HONG-KI's mental health was down. We have to be honest.”

FTISLAND has returned with a new album. FTISLAND appeared on the guest section of KBS Cool FM's "Lee Eunji's Song Plaza" broadcast on the 22nd afternoon.
FTISLAND made a comeback on the 10th with their 7th full-length album "Serious." "Serious" is a unique song that expresses the emotions that one faces from within.
The double title song "BURN IT" is an addictive song with bold lyrics and a powerful voice.
On this day, in response to DJ Lee Eunji's question "When was the most difficult time?", HONG-KI replied, "I've been working hard on my album for a while now, but
Once I had a mental breakdown. At that time, the members grabbed me and led me instead. That's what I remember the most. I couldn't even focus on my pupils."
"I was in a really serious situation and said, 'Brother, let's just go ahead and do what we've decided to do. No matter what anyone says, we'll just do what we've decided. Don't worry, let's just go.'
MIN HWAN continued, "HONG-KI hyung had a hard time at that time. He's the leader and the oldest, isn't he? We have to be honest.
Jaejin responded, "I want to record quickly, but Hong-ki hyung is having a hard time and the schedule is running out. When Hong-ki hyung is like this, it's hard for me too."
"FTISLAND is currently holding a vocal challenge for their new song. HONG-KI said, "I was asked if we were going to do a challenge. I thought the meaning of the challenge was wrong.
"It was a challenge, but I think the company wanted to try it. So we started doing it," said Yoon Do Hyun, Ha Hyun Woo, and "SUPER
JUNIOR, BTOB, etc. will perform this. This weekend, from the 27th to the 28th, MIN HWAN will hold his first solo concert as part of a TV series.
"People expect me to break the drums, but when I watch bands perform, I think the drums are too far away. I want to show you up close every touch. It's good to see him break the drums, but I also want to see his delicate touches.
"We want to show it to everyone. It was started with the intention of showing it to them on this occasion, and it will be held at a concert hall in Gangnam-gu on Saturday," he said, adding, "There aren't many performances that a band's TV series does alone.
I know that it's a difficult story, but I hope that it gets off to a good start and other TV series will do more of this kind of thing."
DJ Lee Eunji asked, "Jaejin, how about a bass concert?"
When asked about it, Jaejin coolly replied, "It's such a hassle. I'm busy just singing in the team and playing bass. I don't do it," making everyone laugh.
A band that has been getting a lot of attention recently. "FTISLAND" has "(juniors) such as JANNABI and DAY6.
They have become very good and have many hit songs, and when I see them performing recently, I feel proud and cute. When I see bands in Japan that I am good friends with, we collaborate on performances together.
We also want to hold a national band festival. As expected, when we were talking to Dohyon, he said to us, "You have to do it, you have to gather it." We want to be a little more Korean.
I'd like to increase awareness by participating in festivals and then get together someday," he said, showing his passion.
