F.T. Island’s I Hope

by Fiona

Happy February, minna-san! I cannot believe January passed by so fast. Today, I’m going to share one of my favorite F.T. Island‘s song, which is I Hope. This is from their 3rd Korean album, Cross & Change. Despite it’s upbeat and catchy melody, its lyrics are sad and emotional. Lee Hong Ki’s vocals are quite impressive as always. It’s been a while since I listened to them and this brings back memories when I first found them through Hong Ki.

by Fiona

Kim Nam Gil may be returning to a historical period piece in the near future!
On November 11, it was reported that the actor would be leading the new film “Joseon Firefighter” (literal title). Lead by director Moon Hyun Sung, it will be a historical comedy that centers around firefighters in the Joseon era.
In response, a source from his agency C-JeS Entertainment stated, “It’s true that ‘Joseon Firefighter’ is one of the projects Kim Nam Gil has received an offer for, but he has not made a final decision on his next project.”
As one of Kim Nam Gil’s most memorable dramas is the 2009 MBC historical drama “The Great Queen Seondeok,” anticipation is already rising on whether Kim Nam Gil will make a return to period pieces. After appearing in the SBS drama “The Fiery Priest” this year, Kim Nam Gil has been appearing in tvN’s variety show “Siberian Expedition” and is awaiting the release of his new film “Closet.”

Nam-Gil oppa on fire, excited that he won so many awards lately! I hope he accepts this and gets drama offer next year. We need him on the small screen too, maybe something pre-Joseon, I adore his bishonen-style. XD

FTISLAND’s Lee Hong Ki is looking happy and healthy in his first photos from the military!
On November 6, Lee Hong Ki took to his personal Instagram account to share photos with the caption, “Salute! I love you! Is everyone doing well?”
In the photos, Lee Hong Ki has a bright smile on his face as he hugs his mother in one photo, and he gives a salute to the camera with others in the second photo.

On September 30, Lee Hong Ki became the first member of FTISLAND to enlist and he has since shared a heartfelt letter with fans that was released in October. Lee Hong Ki is set to serve as an active-duty soldier after completing basic training.

It’s been a while since I heard news about Hong-ki, glad he’s doing well in the military. He looks so healthy and full of life. So handsome in uniform, ne?! XD

The last drama I saw of him was I Hate You Juliet. It was cute and fluffy, but I prefer Hong-ki in series with more substance and better writting. Hopefully he will be able to star one after military. A Korean Odyssey, which stars Lee Seung‑gi, Oh Yeon‑seo and him, was quite enjoyable, nice dose of fantasy and romance.
