F.T. Island Under Fire

This is the latest update in the Yulhee Minhwan divorce drama going on right now.


I have three updates on this:
1. FT Island leader Lee Hongki went to weverse to speak about this matter. In the now deleted weverse post he said:​
It was their private matter, and it's turned out this way. You should acknowledge your wrongdoings and bow your heads in apology. Still, we shouldn't believe everything too easily. I have to hold on and endure. That's what we must do. What I can do is keep moving forward despite the obstacles​
This met with massive public backlash because the public interpreted this as him defending Minhwan, who is currently under police investigation for prostitution.
It also was interpreted badly considering FT Island has had former members embroiled in controversy as well with one member being in the burning sun scandal.

It gets worse from here.

The next day FT Island had a concert where he addressed the fans concerns in person.
His beginning statement was:​
“I will also speak directly with our future fans, as talking face-to-face conveys the message better than writing and avoids misunderstandings"​
A fan asked Hongki why he was still supporting Minhwan despite him being under police investigation and Hongki responded:​
"What if it isn’t sex trafficking and it wasn’t a prostitution establishment? Can you take responsibility for what you said?"​

It was also reported that despite FNC stating that Minhwan would be suspending all activities and is under police investigation, Minhwan actually was still at the concert preforming with the other members.

They just set up a curtain to block Minhwan so the audience couldn't see them. We know this because apparently Hongki did announce Minhwan was there and was the person playing behind the curtain.

Article source about the concert

I'm truly baffled by FNC announcing he's suspending activities and then still having him very much do group activities. This is a whole new level of audacity
:uwot:

Rose praised for solo album design

Rose has probably been the biggest it girl lately with the success of her collab song APT with Bruno Mars.

The love she has been receiving has only been increasing because recently, the internet has been praising her for her innovating album design.

Rose's solo album is dropping I believe in December? But she showed us a preview of the album now. While most kpop albums have multiple versions people would collect, Rose chose to have one album where you can switch out the covers and customize your album. People have been praising her idea for thinking about the environment and not making multiple albums:



The Boyz first day sales

The Boyz made their comeback today with the song/album Trigger and it's been doing great!

The song is currently #3 on bugs behind APT and Whipblash, and is currently over 400K and counting in first day sales.
This is their second highest first day sales falling behind Phantasy pt 2 which had 600K first day sales.
Congrats The Boyz!

I have not seen one living soul advertising this so I'm going to do it.

Moonbyul is currently going on a US tour next month!

Tickets are already on sale and are around $50

Congrats on your first tour Moonbyul!



Gfriend rumored reunion concert/tour

There have been rumors floating around of Gfriend holding a concert for their 10th anniversary.

There is rumors of them holding an Asia tour as well, the source of this is apparently some asian ticketing place leaking news of the tour/ticket sales.

I'm not sure about a tour, but I think a reunion concert is very very likely.

I wish they could have a us tour though

Happy Birthday WinWin!
