FT Island performed on the main stage while the first performance of the second week was held at Olympic Park in Songpa-gu, Seoul on the 2nd.
The concert was the first official performance of FT Island without Choi Min-hwan, who is suspected of sex trafficking.
In the last Taiwanese performance, Choi Min-hwan was humiliatingly playing backstage, and from this day on, his activities to FT Island, which was changed to a two-man system in place of Choi Min-hwan, began.
Regarding Choi Min-hwan, who was suspected of prostitution due to the release of the transcript of Choi Min-hwan's ex-wife Yul-hee "Will you be responsible if it is not sex trafficking?Lee Hong-ki, who defended it and faced a backlash, eventually did his best with Lee Jae-jin in FT Island's performance without Choi Min-hwan.
After the opening stage, Lee Hong-ki said, "We first appeared in 'Gminpe'('Grand Mint Festival') today, but there may not be many songs you know. Actually, I flipped the set list upside down. Originally, we prepared a lot of songs that you know a lot like a music festival, but we thought it would be better to show us recently, so we prepared some songs that we're doing these days" and induced them to sing along, asking them to imitate the melody.
Just before the performance, Lee Hong-ki revealed the reversed set list on his SNS, signaling that he would sing a song with a completely different composition than usual.
Lee Hong-ki, who performed a hot stage amid loud cheers from the audience, said "It is fun to be able to sing in front of you, but I will make your weekend meaningful, fun, and happy. As much as you sang with us, we will think that this is the last day and do our best"I'll die after struggling hard so that you can't feel the cold a little more." cried out.
At the same time, he revealed his unusual condition. Lee Hong-ki said "I usually don't lose my voice this easily, but I definitely thought a lot about what to say and do music today. So I was very sensitive and focused, so I thought I would lose my voice," he said, expressing his concern as he decorated the stage without his colleague.
Lee Hong-ki, who was back on stage at the request of an encore, said "Actually, I was so depressed. I was in the mood of being forced into a situation where the world was forcibly criticized, but I'm grateful. "I'll do music until I die. Thank you..." he bowed to the crowd, who gave generous cheers to the team, which has recently been embroiled in controversy.
