And sooo I attended FT ISLAND'S 'The Truth' Concert in Singapore two days ago with Howei and Kristen!!! Thanks to Kristen's friend who had complimentary tickets for us! :) So actually prior to this concert, I actually only know Hongki from the group and Seunghyun (because he was in a webdrama together with Apink's Namjoo). And I only heard two of their songs, 'Pray' and their recent song, 'Where's The Truth'. Not so much of a rock person but I do actually like 'Pray'!
And so the three of us met up and decided to wear YELLOW because it was their fandom colour, and then we also got yellow lightsticks from Daiso but turns out that most of their fans were not even wearing yellow LOL made us look like super loyal fans donning their fandom colour and holding lightsticks.
But anyways we entered the concert venue and wow it was my first time attending a kpop concert at Singapore Indoor Stadium so it was a new experience for me. Security was super strict, they had guards walking up and down the aisles to stop people from photography/videography, even if it was taken from a phone.
FT ISLAND performed a total of 18 songs and there was a mix of intense rock to mid-tempo pop rock songs so there was a balance. I actually like some of the songs which they have performed so I would probably go and check them out.
Had the most goosebumps during the slow ballad rock songs where Hongki was really immersed in his emotions while belting out notes. Suddenly the songs during that segment became really emotional because prior to that, he said these songs resonates with his current mood. And their fans started shouting 괜찮아!괜찮아!, which means 'It's Okay!' in Korean then I suddenly remembered seeing news of his break up a couple of days back, which probably explains why he felt rather down. But he still seemed to be in high spirits as he showed his best for his fans!
From a non-fan perspective, I was really impressed with the concert and I actually had fun! The members were all really polite and Hongki especially, said a lot of thank yous to the fans and seemed really genuine and gracious to the support from the fans. And when Jaejin said thank you to the fans at the end without a mic and made a bow, it really showed his sincerity.It really made me look at them in a new light so I will keep a look out for them and support their music. It's their 10th anniversary this year as well (same as Girls' Generation woohoo) so I hope their promotions will go smoothly and do well!! :)
