Admit it, this wasn't recommended to you, you search for it Hongki doesn't only have amazing vocals, he is the best with delivering emotions with his voice
Maybe i have like many groups. But i just love one group.. It is FTISLAND and this group always in my heart. I think they're my destiny... Cuz we have same birthday (7 june) 😭 miss em so bad T.T ft island will always 5 in my heart. Im so happy to know them...Hongki Jonghoon jaejin seunghyun minari 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
I really luv his voice singing this song. I dunno why ft island don't get the nice appreciation in their own country as a matter of fact the vocalist's voice is amazing. Also his band mates' talents are awesome too. Wish FT Island all the best.
Lee hong gi melek gibi sesi var insana huzur veriyor bütün sikintilarini unutuyor insan hong ki yi dinlerken kulaklarim bayram ediyor muthis bir yetenek 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Feyra Cuento There is no vocalist better than him, like Ulala session have great singers, 2am have great singers, EXO, TVXQ and JYJ all great singers but damn there's only one Hongki with that voice and there's nothing else like it in Kpop.
I miss this voice so much , i dont care his hair or whatsoever but damn his voice totally gimme goosebump ... the emotion , stop sleep on his talent ! I listening again in 1 jun 2020 ~
I acknowledge that kpop has this one priceless voice belongs to Hongki.. No one can compares to him so far, I love Ft Island and won't ever stop loving them...
Watched this performance many times over the years. Other artistes have performed same song on Immortal Song 2 but they can’t hold a candle to this. Hongki not only sings......he draws us into the song itself
Wow he's voice is unbelievable...Daebak!!! I was so amazed...a funny man with an extra ordinary voice...i love hongki and the rest of FT island ☆☆☆☆☆...
This song si sperfect for his voice. And in the episode they said that he loved to pratice this before debut. I love all the notes he hits, and his control over his range is fantastic. As well as the emotion on those really high parts in the chorus. AHhh and the meaning of the song too
Even they dont get many treatment like advertising or promotion, Lee hongki always bring his band on stage in immortial song.. to advertise their own band. This is some bias of FNC to FT ISLAND: F.T. Island is currently under FNC Entertainment and is the first group created by the company. Since then, the company has released CNBLUE, Juniel, and AOA with their growth. Many don't seem to be aware of the extreme bias the company has against F.T. Island, so as a fan, I feel the need to lay it all out here. 1. FNC sent always sends F.T. Island back to Japan before they even reach three weeks of Korean promotions. 2. They released a Japanese song translated into Korean in Japan. 3. CNBLUE's $1 million USD stage was built using the money F.T. Island made from their Budokan concert. The actual stage setup used by CNBLUE was the one suggested by Minhwan's parents for F.T. Island several years ago. 4. FNC does not media play for their artists aside from CNBLUE (although recently, they've been putting out articles for Juniel and AOA). Because FNC didn't put out any PR for 'Like the Birds' and 'Severely', Primas had to resort to running street ads for them. 5. When CNBLUE was on the chopping block for allegedly throwing away a friend group's CD, FNC was quick to react with dozens of explanation articles and threats of defamation. However, when F.T. Island was on the chopping block for a car used in their music video, FNC let F.T. Island take all the heat despite there being substantial evidence that the car owner was releasing distorted truths to the public. In the end, the movie director and Hongki had to explain everything themselves (but even then, the situation had already grown too big to the point where their explanation didn't catch attention). 6. At the 2010 Gayo Daejun, F.T. Island performed one track while CNBLUE performed three including collaborations. 7. Right before CNBLUE's debut, FNC suddenly released a bunch of F.T. Island merchandise from glasses, DVDs, old records... Fans, without knowing, bought all of them up. A couple months later, CNBLUE made their debut. 8. Hongki's admitted to F.T. Island being the lab rats for CNBLUE. 9. FNC did not release any PR for all of the grand achievements F.T. Island has made in Japan. They only released three articles about selling out Budokan tickets in two minutes... but dozens upon dozens of articles of CNBLUE making their major debut. 10. Oh Won Bin's final concert before his leave was held in Japan (one of the cases that made the fans most angry). 11. There was an article released that lied about how "2NE1 is the first Korean artist to rank #1 on the daily Oricon chart for their official Japanese debut album"... Primas asked for the article to be fixed but FNC did nothing about it. Because of that, F.T. Island's record was buried and forgotten. F.T. Island is actually the first Korean artist to hit #1 on the daily Oricon chart with a Japanese debut album. 12. FNC never updates F.T. Island's official homepage. Schedules haven't been updated in a while so fans resort to checking each broadcast show's schedule to see if F.T. Island is on a show or not. 13. When B2UTIES plagiarized the Pentastick, FNC, once again, did nothing about it. Primas eventually had to go around to B2ST concerts and ask every fan to refrain from using the Pentastick. 14. A notice giving CNBLUE official fans a 30% discount at the FNC store came up. It wasn't until Primas complained that they released another 30% discount notice for F.T. Island's official fans. 15. During F.T. Island's 'Wish' promotions, they didn't have any fan signings until fans called FNC and made several dozen requests. They finally complied and held ONE fan meeting. CNBLUE, however, had a fan signing scheduled a week after their comeback. 16. FNC still hasn't given an explanation for why F.T. Island's shrimp chips CF was dropped. 17. FNC never explained the bullying rumors surrounding Oh Won Bin. Oh Won Bin had to eventually go to every interview and explain what had actually happened himself. Because of that, the public still thinks that he left the group because of those rumors. 18. Hongki was originally supposed to be the MC for the 2009 year-end Gayo Daejun but FNC passed it over to Yonghwa. Yonghwa, who had no experience at the time, earned the title of 'nuisance MC' and was embarrassed to the public. FNC is completely at fault for this. A notice for the MC change had not even been put up, and Primas did not find out until the show aired. 19. FNC tries to keep a difference in music style between CNBLUE and F.T. Island. They thus force F.T. Island into one music style. 20. Songs written and composed by F.T. Island are only released in Japan (even if they're written and composed in Korean). CNBLUE has had their songs included since their first album. 21. F.T. Island's comeback stages are always pitiful. They sing one song with a screen in the back showing their album jacket picture. This is what happens when you don't PR for your artists. It's also been three years since F.T. Island hasn't had any follow-up promotions. 22. Hongki was sick during the 2008 Gayo Daejun to the point where he was eventually rushed to the emergency room after his stage. Han Sung Ho (CEO) started nagging Hongki despite him laying there sick until Hongki started crying. He then sent him back to Japan. 23. At the 2008 Gayo Daejun, Hongki got a lot of criticisms about his vocal talent because his voice cracked a lot. FNC never shielded him despite the fact that he was sick, he had performed at several concerts up until the day leading to the Gayo Daejun, and was suffering from vocal cord nodules. F.T. Island also had to deal with a sound system accident but FNC did nothing about it. Primas and Hongki had to eventually step up and explain everything. 24. When Minhwan was filming his drama, FNC still scheduled Japanese activities for him (for the money). Minhwan eventually fainted from fatigue and was rushed to the emergency room. 25. During their 'I Wish' promotions, F.T. Island got into a car accident. Despite it being a light accident, the members were still injured. FNC did not release one article about it. Even some fans don't know that that accident had even occurred. 26. CNBLUE made their comeback with a self-composed album (I'm Sorry). Primas begged FNC to let F.T. Island release their own self-composed album. FNC finally agreed and let them put in 6 self-composed songs in their 4th album but still forced them to use another composer's song for the title track. 27. CNBLUE had their 'I'm Sorry' comeback stage as all live. Because Korean music programs force bands to hand sync, it's been something F.T. Island and Primas have wanted for a long time.. but CNBLUE got the honor of being able to do it first. (CNBLUE says they did it out of their own pocket but you can't deny that the company helped them out) 28. During comebacks, F.T. Island is rarely on any TV shows. What's the point if all you do is perform on music shows... They've never been on variety shows as a group. CNBLUE, however, have been cast into variety shows as a group with top media play and PR as soon as they make their comebacks. 29. Ultimately, the members themselves feel this bias. They often talk about their issues with their agency on broadcast and on Twitter. 30. Primas, after being shocked with the 'I Wish' album, started a petition asking for a REAL self-composed album, not one with just a few self-composed tracks thrown in. There is now finally talks of their comeback this year being a self-composed album (but must fans have to go this far just to get things done?) 31. CNBLUE always got the best song and they will give not best song to FT ISLAND.. although that happen, FT ISLAND surely can make that song sound awesome. 32. Even they dont get many treatment like advertising or promotion, Lee hongki always bring his band on stage in immortial song.. to advertise their own band. 33. Nowadays i see that when ft island make mv or what..FNC love to promote their new artist.. like in i wish they put an AOA member as a girl in ft island mv, i heard FTISLAND new MV cast is one of the AOA members. FNC always used FTisland. like episode 8 & 9 in we got married fuji mina im 100% sure it's FNC idea not Hongki idea (invited Juniel & AOA & Minhyuk that is FNC new artist into their wedding ceremony). 34. FTISLAND does not in any way sound like CNBLUE. Limiting FTISLAND in Korea is ridiculous. Also doesn't it cost more money to hire composers anyways? The logic of FNC...moving on. 35. For anyone who followed FTISLAND during 2012, it was a known fact that the group was decently overworked. By the end of last year there was a time where they were begging for a break hoping to have their demand be heard. If one counts their releases from 2012 one would find three Japanese singles(Neverland, Top Secret, Polar Star), a Japanese album(20twenty), a Korean mini-album (Grown Up) and a Korean album (Five Treasure Box). Not only this but on top of that they still toured, had promotions and composed. 36. FNC do seem to keep FTISLAND away from promoting and being active as individuals. Another difference between the two is that CNBLUE is promoted more like an idol group than FTISLAND is said to be promoted more as a band. Now while I can see how that works, what is said goes against what happens in reality. Like I stated before, FTISLAND has yet to use a self-composed song as their title which is something that I believe would be part of the pride of a band. Yet even as a fan with the urge to write angry emails and just urge to yell for FTISLAND to leave FNC, it's stupid to think that FTISLAND will leave because of this lack of balance in treatment. FNC is the only label that has created idol bands in Korea with a decent amount of recognition on an international level. Sure there are other idol bands but none of them are as big as the ones under FNC. Not only that but compared to America's band industry, Korea's just isn't as strong. Even if FTISLAND did leave, they would have nowhere to go, at least a place that could really take care of them and know how to promote a band. Even SM entertainment has tried to promote bands before but compared to their main acts, those groups are largely irrelevant. FTISLAND has also been part of FNC since the beginning. They're the first group of the company and FNC made them who they are today. Not only that but FNC and the employees have been with FTISLAND for ages. It would probably hurt them a lot if they ever did want to leave which I highly doubt. From the looks of Han Seungho(FNC's CEO) acceptance of an award, all the FNC artists are close to their CEO. But even so I hope that FTISLAND gets more attention from FNC soon. -F.T. Island is not only FNC's 'first artist', but the artists that helped them make the money they are making now. They even signed on again after their contracts expired, so how does such treatment make sense? A Prima even called FNC once and asked them to pay more attention to F.T., to which the employee said, "We've already taken our hands off of F.T." Then the fan asked if they intend to ignore their own artist like that, and they replied back, "Promote them on your own as you wish. We will only help them minimally." How can an agency think of saying something like this? weren't they really popular when they debuted? then cnblue came along and fnc basically cockblocked them forever. i always thought it was weird how ftisland would promote 1 song and then just disappear. they could probably be a lot more successful if fnc would make more of an effort. i think the fan's point isn't that cnblue shouldn't be promoted but that fnc dropped the ball when it came to promoting ftisland fairly. just because one artist gets popular doesn't mean you just put everyone else on the backburner. the whole POINT of having an agency is so they can get your name out there to the public, otherwise they might as well just be unsigned lol. Well, when some fans said that CN Blue is more popular than FT Island now. I have to say this: Because FNC puts everything to CN Blue and treats unfairly with FT Island, eventhough when FT Island was popular backthen, so that's why you think CN Blue is more popular than FT Island. FT Island is not an idol band tries to look like a real band, they are the talented kids play many instruments since they were just a kid, the most talent guy in my opinion is Won Bin (but he left the group). the unfairness is undoubtly. If you are a Prim, i'm sure you know that because of FT Island, FNC has enough money forr other talents including CN Blue. I should know that this article would be released soon since FNC in my opinion is an amature agency, both FT Island and CN Blue popular by their own talents I've been frustrated with FNC over FTI for years but was recently complaining about the joint concert with CNBlue. I seriously cannot understand how FNC just leaves FTI floating in the breeze on articles. Hongki ALWAYS has to explain everything in variety shows or interviews. It's crazy. He even promotes them...he did take the ENTIRE group to Immortal Song with him after all yes. FTisland never. never. never got a proper promotions from their company. but FTisland still survive & popular. WHY? because PRIMADONNA especially JAPAN & GLOBAL PRIMADONNA always support them. without PRIMADONNA.FTisland can't survive. without FTISLAND PRIMADONNA also cant survive,, we need to support them no matter what they do.. meaning of primadonna. PRI = number 1 MADONNA = a beautiful girl as primadonna, i want say thank you to all primadonna.
yes its true.. tomorrow ft island will release their new comeback album.. but you can see in this forum.. their new album that they make by themselves after all this 9 year also get mistreated by FNC..i bet FNC dont want them to be famous like their old days.. even though ft island is their first debut artist that made FNC successful like this day.. kpopkfans.blogspot.ca/2015/03/fncs-discrimination-towards-ft-island.html
I realized that the company is not fear.i hope ft island leave this company and start new with other company that knows how big,talented ,uniqe this band is
gotta also love the flautist here- I love watching him perform with so many diffferent artists on this show even in 2020 (apologies for not knowing the correct name for his instrument)
Even with the electric guitars, the steady beat of the drums, the melodic voices in the chorus- I still here Lee Hong Ki's beautiful rare voice above them all. Thank you.
Hongki's voice is so, so beautiful. It can often reduce me to a rambling, sobbing child. I'd love to see him live in person and then everyone can mock me for crying over his voice.
Muy pocas veces en la tierra se abren los cielos y bajan Angeles, aquí HONG GI con toda la expresividad a flor de piel en su tan tierna y dulce voz , ser lleno de luz , gracias HONG GI por todo lo que transmitis 🤩🤩🎶🎵🎶🎶

Hongki oh my gosh, that was so beautiful :') I'm beyond words
this guy and sandeul are my favorites singer in Korea...
I can't find a vocalist better than him..^^
Feyra Cuento There is no vocalist better than him, like Ulala session have great singers, 2am have great singers, EXO, TVXQ and JYJ all great singers but damn there's only one Hongki with that voice and there's nothing else like it in Kpop.
Neeta Song Absolutely right, no one with pipes like his
+Neeta Song there are a lot of amazing singers in Kpop. Hongki's voice is unique though. A voice you'd be able to recognise from afar.
mera nazmi grazy to Hongki and Ft Island.

They got the look and talent... FT ISLAND = PERFECTION!
The reason I fell in love with this guy. That voice! Nothing can rival it. This gave me goosebumps!
Hongki forever 😍

33. Nowadays i see that when ft island make mv or what..FNC love to promote their new artist.. like in i wish they put an AOA member as a girl in ft island mv, i heard FTISLAND new MV cast is one of the AOA members. FNC always used FTisland. like episode 8 & 9 in we got married fuji mina im 100% sure it's FNC idea not Hongki idea (invited Juniel & AOA & Minhyuk that is FNC new artist into their wedding ceremony).
34. FTISLAND does not in any way sound like CNBLUE. Limiting FTISLAND in Korea is ridiculous. Also doesn't it cost more money to hire composers anyways? The logic of FNC...moving on.
35. For anyone who followed FTISLAND during 2012, it was a known fact that the group was decently overworked. By the end of last year there was a time where they were begging for a break hoping to have their demand be heard. If one counts their releases from 2012 one would find three Japanese singles(Neverland, Top Secret, Polar Star), a Japanese album(20twenty), a Korean mini-album (Grown Up) and a Korean album (Five Treasure Box). Not only this but on top of that they still toured, had promotions and composed.
36. FNC do seem to keep FTISLAND away from promoting and being active as individuals. Another difference between the two is that CNBLUE is promoted more like an idol group than FTISLAND is said to be promoted more as a band. Now while I can see how that works, what is said goes against what happens in reality. Like I stated before, FTISLAND has yet to use a self-composed song as their title which is something that I believe would be part of the pride of a band.
Yet even as a fan with the urge to write angry emails and just urge to yell for FTISLAND to leave FNC, it's stupid to think that FTISLAND will leave because of this lack of balance in treatment. FNC is the only label that has created idol bands in Korea with a decent amount of recognition on an international level. Sure there are other idol bands but none of them are as big as the ones under FNC. Not only that but compared to America's band industry, Korea's just isn't as strong. Even if FTISLAND did leave, they would have nowhere to go, at least a place that could really take care of them and know how to promote a band. Even SM entertainment has tried to promote bands before but compared to their main acts, those groups are largely irrelevant. FTISLAND has also been part of FNC since the beginning. They're the first group of the company and FNC made them who they are today. Not only that but FNC and the employees have been with FTISLAND for ages. It would probably hurt them a lot if they ever did want to leave which I highly doubt. From the looks of Han Seungho(FNC's CEO) acceptance of an award, all the FNC artists are close to their CEO. But even so I hope that FTISLAND gets more attention from FNC soon.
-F.T. Island is not only FNC's 'first artist', but the artists that helped them make the money they are making now. They even signed on again after their contracts expired, so how does such treatment make sense?
A Prima even called FNC once and asked them to pay more attention to F.T., to which the employee said, "We've already taken our hands off of F.T." Then the fan asked if they intend to ignore their own artist like that, and they replied back, "Promote them on your own as you wish. We will only help them minimally."
How can an agency think of saying something like this?
weren't they really popular when they debuted? then cnblue came along and fnc basically cockblocked them forever. i always thought it was weird how ftisland would promote 1 song and then just disappear. they could probably be a lot more successful if fnc would make more of an effort.
i think the fan's point isn't that cnblue shouldn't be promoted but that fnc dropped the ball when it came to promoting ftisland fairly. just because one artist gets popular doesn't mean you just put everyone else on the backburner. the whole POINT of having an agency is so they can get your name out there to the public, otherwise they might as well just be unsigned lol.
Well, when some fans said that CN Blue is more popular than FT Island now. I have to say this: Because FNC puts everything to CN Blue and treats unfairly with FT Island, eventhough when FT Island was popular backthen, so that's why you think CN Blue is more popular than FT Island. FT Island is not an idol band tries to look like a real band, they are the talented kids play many instruments since they were just a kid, the most talent guy in my opinion is Won Bin (but he left the group). the unfairness is undoubtly. If you are a Prim, i'm sure you know that because of FT Island, FNC has enough money forr other talents including CN Blue. I should know that this article would be released soon since FNC in my opinion is an amature agency, both FT Island and CN Blue popular by their own talents
I've been frustrated with FNC over FTI for years but was recently complaining about the joint concert with CNBlue.
I seriously cannot understand how FNC just leaves FTI floating in the breeze on articles. Hongki ALWAYS has to explain everything in variety shows or interviews. It's crazy.
He even promotes them...he did take the ENTIRE group to Immortal Song with him after all
yes. FTisland never. never. never got a proper promotions from their company.
but FTisland still survive & popular. WHY? because PRIMADONNA especially JAPAN & GLOBAL PRIMADONNA always support them. without PRIMADONNA.FTisland can't survive. without FTISLAND PRIMADONNA also cant survive,, we need to support them no matter what they do..
meaning of primadonna.
PRI = number 1
MADONNA = a beautiful girl
as primadonna, i want say thank you to all primadonna.
yes its true.. tomorrow ft island will release their new comeback album.. but you can see in this forum.. their new album that they make by themselves after all this 9 year also get mistreated by FNC..i bet FNC dont want them to be famous like their old days.. even though ft island is their first debut artist that made FNC successful like this day.. kpopkfans.blogspot.ca/2015/03/fncs-discrimination-towards-ft-island.html
I realized that the company is not fear.i hope ft island leave this company and start new with other company that knows how big,talented ,uniqe this band is
But why thier company do that?
Crying reading this 😭😭😭
Before ive been wonder why hongki say ft island is a lab rat for fnc
primadonna ftisland why they just dont leave fnc? and start new with another company?
THE BEST STAGE OF IMMORTAL SONG. ALWAYS IN MY HEART.
아.........소름돋아ㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ목소리짱이다ㅜㅜ눈물날라고해ㅠㅠ
I totally agree with tic tonic. Hongki has such unique voice and he is very talented indeed.
And FT Island is a great band. Wish they will go on IM2 again
Las voz de hongki es tan hermosa 😍😍💜
gotta also love the flautist here- I love watching him perform with so many diffferent artists on this show even in 2020 (apologies for not knowing the correct name for his instrument)
This is one of my favorite things ever
Even with the electric guitars, the steady beat of the drums, the melodic voices in the chorus- I still here Lee Hong Ki's beautiful rare voice above them all. Thank you.
A M A Z I N G !🤘🏼
It's been years and I still find myself while listening this performance... 이홍기 you are amazing ❤
Hongki's voice is so, so beautiful. It can often reduce me to a rambling, sobbing child. I'd love to see him live in person and then everyone can mock me for crying over his voice.
TOTALLY ADDICTED TO THIS VOICE!

키낮췃다고 뭐라하는병신들 진심 나음알못이에요 광고하냐? 자기목소리톤에 맞는 키에 맞춰서 잘 소화하고 듣는사람이 편해야 그게 노래지 높은게 짱이면 아마추어 권민제버스킹이나 맨날 쳐들어라
