[STARCAST] The behind story of FTISLAND’s first tour in Europe & North and South America





Yellow waves continued at the crowded airport where there were no place to step.
What was happening?



Band FTISLAND’s first tour in Europe & North and South America ‘2015 FTISLAND [FTHX] LIVE’ was held in Paris, France on January 17th and 18th (KST), Santiago, Chile on 24th, Mexico City, Mexico on 26th, New York and LA each on 29th and 31st.



“We thought we were in Korea”

Each city went up and down at FTISLAND’s first visit and fans of each country made the members surprised by resolving their deep sorrow of waiting for so long, singing along the whole songs in Korean.



America’s Billboard also praised about their ‘original Korean Wave band-like’ stage manner, musical growth, and their future musical identity stating, “We cannot take our eyes off from FTISLAND’s overwhelming stage.”
FTISLAND that was passionate than anyone else changed into free souls upon the stage. We will release the behind story of their tour right now!

#01. Free time upon the refreshing grass

After the tour in Chile, which is the middle point of their tour, was over, FTISLAND took free time. They sat around on the fresh green grass and unburdened themselves.




What should we do on the grass? We should play the game of drop-the-handkerchief~





Have you ever heard about the game of drop-the-feather?
They urgently got a feather since they didn’t have a handkerchief! Lee Hong Gi became the tagger this time~

Grass comes down from the skies~♬
This is Lee Jae Jin playing mischievously and the staff who shows he has reached the nirvana.



#02. Sweet and sour winery tour

Chile can’t be missed out without wine and the ‘winery’ which stands for brewery where wine is made.
FTISLAND also went on a tour to the winery which was full of sweet and sour scent.




Starting off holding a wine glass! Taking a proof-shot is necessary^.~





“Wow~ I’m excited”
This is a shot of wine-mania Lee Hong Gi who had put air full in his cheeks!





Guitarist Song Seung Hyun also got drunk with wine and the mood~





STARCAST subscribers got drunk with Choi Min Hwan’s breathtaking appearance







This is the completer of beauty. We got drunk again by the appearance of the leader Choi Jong Hoon!



#03. What’s the best place for FTISLAND? Upon the stage!

They raised their tension at the peaceful place! FTISLAND that completely charged their energy left strong first impression to South American fans by performing a goose-bumps-making live stage.
The place where FTISLAND looked comfortable was the concert hall than the other tourist attraction which seemed like they would make a magazine photo only by walking.
We slightly release the images of FTISLAND before they went upon the stage as a preview.





This is the best ‘guy who is good at pushing and pulling audiences,’ recognized even by the media, the vocalist Lee Hong Gi.
He is completed to play freely even today!




As they aroused exclamations from fans with their set list that added unique arrangement at every concert, their effort to make a perfect stage at the back of the stage continued.





They are monitoring the rehearsal stage meticulously, caring even one singular mistake!





The drummer Choi Min Hwan changed his position in surprise!
What’s the secret of the skillful base play of versatile Choi Min Hwan?





He had got delicate help from the bassist Lee Jae Jin!



#04. Passionate love site got caught? The two by two dating site with throbbing heart




The leader Choi Jong Hoon and Lee Jae Jin went out for a date.
Where did they head to?




That is ‘Teotihuacán’ in Mexico.
They visited ‘Teotihuacán’ which has the meaning of ‘the City of Gods,’ and they decided to climb up the jaw-dropping site of the ‘Pyramid of the Sun’.





Hep, hep with the selfie-stick! Cheering up until the top~





They came down to the ‘Avenue of the Dead’ from the dizzy top of the pyramid.
If you are a real shopper, then the gemstone is a must-have item?! They watched the treasure of the earth that had been thousands of years, the gemstones as much as they wanted to.


If Choi Jong Hoon and Lee Jae Jin enjoyed the dating that comes and go through AD and BC, the other couple enjoyed the dating that devoted to instinct.
They are Lee Hong Gi and Choi Min Hwan couple who could not get rid of the ‘band instinct’ and went out to shop instruments.






Drummer Choi Min Hwan and Lee Hong Gi’s a guerrilla concert?
The people in the shopping mall bustled even to the drum beat they played to test the drums!


Did you enjoy the behind story of the first Europe & North and South America tour with FTISLAND?
This concert contained a lot of FTISLAND’s musical worries as Lee Hong Gi said “We had lots of things to worry until we went upon this stage. We were not sure about whether we should do this concert or not. However, we have found out that we can play the music that we really want to play for the last year and a half. We are happy to play that music at this stage.”
We will release a little bit of the ‘real’ FTISLAND’s concert that contains their worries.









Please look forward to see FTISLAND who will be back with better music and the more cheerful energy! :-)
