Exclusive on Kokokoreano.com!

Kokokoreano went for the Sundown Festival- Seoul’d Out press conference and we saw F.T. Island up front and personal! Held at Marina Mandarin Hotel, Gemini Ballroom at 1.30pm today! We were only only like one meter apart from them, and we just went on a snapping like there was no tomorrow.

Their stylings are, as usual, awesome! They were all in smart suits and jackets, with a touch of uniqueness in each of them.

Seung Hyun was seen in a formal double-breasted blazer, but the brooches on it make him look so much more fashion-forward.

If you see Jae Jin’s inner white shirt clearly, it’s not just a simple shirt! There’s words inside! So unique! And he matches his formal outfit with a pair of Doc Marten boots to make it seem more like a smart casual look. Nice touch!

Min Hwan was in a shirt-and-tie combination, but throw on a leather jacket, and the formal look gets played down.

The-always-fashionable Hong Ki was in a white blazer (prince charming!) and a casual printed tee!

Jong Hun’s blazer itself looks darn unique! With the purple trousers, his outfit just kinda stood out.

Their autographs!

Interview from the media:

Qn 1. How do you feel being part of this inaugural Kpop festival along-side your fellow Kpop artistes?

[Hong Ki] From the last time, this is our 2nd time here. Really thank you for inviting us here again. In future, we hope to have a concert of our own here.

Qn 2. You have a very big following here in Singapore. What do you have to say to fans who have bought the tickets to the event?

Well it has been awhile since we last came here and I’m really excited to be here. I’m really glad to see all of you here and the opportunity to meet you fans is a real good thing.

[Asked by Kokokoreano] Qn 3. Is Hong Ki’s character in the popular drama series ‘You’re Beautiful’ as Jeremy similar or different to his character in real life?

[Hong Ki] *Looks at me and ask in Korean, “Do you think it’s the same or different”.* Well, I would say about 70% of our characters are the same?

‘Fan-account’ by Dorothea from skipfire@lj

FT Island was the 4th group to come out. I heard some loud scream from the fans waiting outside, which meant that FT Island was somewhere in the lobby!

The five members walked into the conference room and flashed smiles. I died! It was my first time seeing them, so I was really lucky to see them so close! How can they be so good looking and charismatic?

Hongki had a red right eye and very dry chapped lips. :( All the others looked happy and well. Hongki did most of the talking, alongside Minhwan.

Hongki was asked how similar was his character in real life compared to his character in You’re Beautiful, Jeremy. He was so cute to rebutt the interviewer with a “Do you think we’re similar?” jokingly. :D :D

But he said that he was 70% similar to Jeremy in terms of character. I agree. He even shouted at the end of the interview, “LET’S PARTY” or something along that line.

Someone asked if they needed to have a female member in their band, what character would they want the girl to have. Hongki said “glamourous” in English, slightly mispronounced lol.

The interviewer couldn’t catch the word so there was this flurry of ‘glamourous’ in the air. The final glamourous Hongki said sounded like camourous rofl!!!! So cute. The entire conference room burst out in laughter ~

Despite Hongki’s red eye, he was still verrrrrrry hyper today! He was such a cutie, pulling down his lower eyelid to reveal his red eye to everyone rofl. :) Then Minhwan just reached over immediately to cover his eye lol!

Jaejin is good looking as hell hehehe. Even better looking upclose. Seunghyun was very friendly, though quiet. He did peace signs and waved to the cameras.

Jonghun was making cute faces in the background during the interview, puffing up his cheeeeeeeeeeks. They were all signing albums during the interview and damn, I REGRET NOT BRINGING MINE ALONG. :(

After the press conference was over, the security guard let us back into the conference room where I picked up the pen Jonghun used hehe. They were having a one to one interview in the next room and we could hear them talk through the wall.

One last look before I left. When the interview room’s door opened, I saw Hongki briefly! This time he put on a pair of heart-shape shades in white, and looked even better than ever. ;D



All the above pictures are exclusively Kokokoreano’s. Please comment if you are taking out any of the pictures or interview!

No editing of the pictures and claiming it as your own (I will know! Because I took them myself!)

For now just comment away~

Love,

Lynette
