FT Island promotes release of ‘20’

To mark the release of its second Japanese album entitled “20,” FT Island held launch events over the weekend, meeting more than 10,000 fans in Tokyo and Osaka.

At the meet-and-greet mini-concerts, the band sang a total of five songs including “Wanna Go,” which was composed by members Song Seung-hyun and Choi Min-hwan. Group leader Choi Jong-hoon’s track “Stay” as well as “Satisfaction” were also performed by the Hallyu group.

When quizzed on the significance of the album’s title, the band said it decided on “20” because it is the average age of the band members.

The group also said it was grateful for the past two years in Japan and that it had been exactly two years since FT Island’s debut across the East Sea.

“20” sold 10,372 copies in Japan on the day of its release and became the third-highest-selling album on Oricon’s weekly chart. 

The band is set to tour Japan from June 24 until July 8.

2PM’s Taecyeon injured in Japan while arm wrestling with bandmate

2PM’s Taecyeon fractured his upper arm - his humerus bone, to be exact - in an arm-wrestling match with his bandmate while in Japan, JYP Entertainment announced on Wednesday.

The agency added that the boy band member was immediately taken to a nearby hospital and has come back home to Korea to have a detailed examination.

With regards to his schedule, the agency said that it will make a decision after the results from the doctor come in.

“We are so sorry to be the bearer of bad news and we will try to do our best for Taecyeon’s speedy recovery,” the agency said.

The unfortunate event took place just a week before the band is set to perform at the Budokan in Tokyo on Thursday.

Back in April, the boy band joined forces with 2AM to promote its upcoming collaborative documentary movie “Beyond the One Day - Story of 2PM and 2AM.” The film will be released in Japan on June 30.
