Jul 10, 2024

FT Island Lee Hong-ki indirectly mentioned Choi Jong-hoon, who left the team.

On the 9th, a video titled 'Go one car with the original idol band Lee Hong-ki' was uploaded on the YouTube channel Vivo TV. In the released video, Lee Hong-ki met Song Eun-yi and had an honest conversation.

Song Eun-i asked 'Don't you guys fight among yourself?' and Lee Hong-ki "I used to fight a lot in the past, but I like it so much these days. Isn't it three these days. It's such a good match."

FT Island debuted in June 2007 as a quintet, including Lee Hong-ki, Lee Jae-jin, Choi Min-hwan, Oh Won-bin and Choi Jong-hoon. Since then, Oh Won-bin suddenly withdrew from the team after the last fan meeting in 2009, and newly recruited Song Seung-hyun.

However, Choi Jong-hoon, who was also the leader of the team, withdrew from the team in March 2019 due to the Burning Sun incident. He is one of the Burning Sun families centered on Seungri, a former member of Big Bang, and was sentenced to one year in prison and two years of probation on charges of trying to bribe the police who were dispatched to the scene after driving under the influence of alcohol and trying to cover it up through Senior Superintendent Yoon, who they called "Prosecutor General."

He was also sentenced to two years and six months in prison for mass sexual assault after making women drunk in Hongcheon and Daegu, Gangwon Province, along with Jung Joon-young.

As a result, Choi Jong-hoon served a total of three and a half years in prison and was released from prison on November 8, 2021.

Song Seung-hyun, who was recruited as a new member, also drew attention by announcing his withdrawal from the team in December 2019, his recent retirement and marriage.

Lee Hong-ki mentioned them indirectly. In the meantime, "There are many things I feel sorry for the members. Since he is a person who moves forward, the members follow my opinion a lot, saying, `It's good for us to do it by Hong-ki hyung.'
