[Excerpt] 120223 FT Island’s Interview with E News: “Los Angeles, Canada, Korea, Japan”
You’ll be performing in Los Angeles soon. How do you feel?
Choi Min Hwan: It’s great thinking that I’ll be encountering new things. It’s meaningful that we’re holding a concert, but I want to learn a lot.
Lee Hongki: When we first went to Japan, I caught a bad case of nostalgia in six months. But now that I think of it, I learned a lot. I was able to cultivate my dream and I got to learn about music. I’m expecting the same thing to happen this time. I think also that I want to start from the bottom in America, as an indie band.
Lee Jae Jin: We performed in a Canadian rock festival once, and we learned a lot from bands from other countries. We learned how to enjoy. We were envious of the liberal atmosphere, too.
Lee Hongki: We once had a drink with a foreign band, and they were so good looking. They were skilled, too. We were jealous.
It seems you’re dissatisfied in Korea?
Choi Min Hwan: It’s not that. We just want to take it step by step in America like we did in Japan. It’s just that because the cultures are different, we feel a lot of pros and cons.
Song Seung Hyun: For example, in Japan, it’s not only the vocalist that gets all the attention; they pay attention to all of the instruments. So they recognize the other members, too. But in Korea, because it’s centered on broadcasting and variety, the camera only comes to the vocalist. We’re sorry we can’t show how lively the other performers are.
Lee Jae Jin: We’re sad that people only recognize Lee Hongki. I wish they would recognize me, too (Laugh). We’re sad that people only recognize Lee Hongki when we’re all eating at a restaurant and things like that.
