Rock is back in the house with FT Island's "Return"...

The boys of FT Island --- (L to R): Song Seung Hyun, Lee Jae Jin,
Choi Min Hwan , Lee Hong Ki, Choi Jong Hoon

Just like CN BLUE, I first encountered FT Island through the drama "You're Beautiful". FT Island's lead singer, Lee Hong Ki starred alongside fellow music superstars Jang Geun Seuk and Jung Yong Hwa. Hong Ki was absolutely funny in that drama, and wore his character well both in light and dramatic scenes. When I realized that he was also an idol star, that led me to read more about his group, FT Island.

It's an exciting time for FT Island since they just recently topped the Oricon charts in Japan (together with 2PM) with the release of their Japanese album "Satisfaction". They also recently released their Korean comeback album, "Return" last Tuesday.
