FT Island to drop 10th Japanese studio album
FT Island's "Instinct," will be first Japanese studio album in six years FT Island is set to release its 10th full-length Japanese-language album this fall. The new album, "Instinct," will drop on Sept. 17 in Japan, and is the group's first Japanese studio release in nearly six years since "Everlasting" in 2019. The band members announced the news onstage during 'FNC Band Kingdom 2025,' a joint concert featuring FNC Entertainment's bands, on Saturday at Makuhari Event Hall in Chiba prefecture, Japan —drawing loud cheers from fans. According to the band's agency FNC Entertainment, the album title "Instinct" reflects the band's desire to resonate not with logic, but with instinct. The tracks were carefully chosen based on FT Island's musical intuition, offering a portrait of where the band stands today. Further details about the album release will be revealed via FT Island's official Japanese website. Celebrating the band's 18th anniversary this year, the three-piece band remains active both in Korea and abroad, enjoying particular popularity across Asia. On Aug. 23–24, FT Island will hold a solo concert at Blue Square Mastercard Hall in Seoul, before embarking on Asia tour under the same name. The tour will run from September through November, with scheduled stops in Macao, Taipei, Kuala Lumpur and Hong Kong. Meanwhile, drummer Choi Min-hwan, who temporarily halted activities last October due to personal issues, will return to full group promotions. He was recently cleared of allegations involving prostitution and sexual misconduct after a police investigation resulted in no charges.

We love them, so I would recommend them to anyone wanting a cooler, more refreshing sleep during the heat!" A second buyer had mixed feelings towards their purchase, writing: "It is soft and lightweight. I'm a restless sleeper and it did not stay on me. I put it under me to try. Either way, at first, it is cool. "Once my body is on it or under it, after 10-15 minutes, it retains my body heat if I don't move. Moving it collects the air, so to speak, and cools down, as long as my body isn't touching it. It does not help with hot flashes with me." Another wrote: "This is the second blanket I've purchased, so we can have one in the kids too. It's lightweight and very soft. I like to cover myself with it when I'm having a migraine." Article continues below An additional customer concludes: "I would really like to give this an honest review, but my kids have stolen it and I can't get it back from them. They come in from school on a hot day and just wrap up in it for 10 minutes, which cools them down a treat. "They've been sleeping absolutely fine in them and said they actually managed to sleep pretty quickly at night instead of the usual fidgeting due to how cool the blanket feels. It's nice and silky, performs well, but a little expensive, but as long as it lasts all summer, then it's worth the money."

N.Flying eyes 'Everlasting' future
Celebrating several milestones, promises brighter future This year marks several milestones for boy band It marks 10 years since the group's anniversary, the first full-unit comeback after all five bandmates completed their mandatory military service and the release of "Everlasting" — the group's long-awaited second full-length album, arriving four years after the first. Leader Lee Seung-hyub took part in writing and composing all the tracks. 'It still feels like a dream that our second full album is finally out. I had been waiting for the members to return so we could complete this together,' Lee said in a group interview in Gangnam-gu, Seoul, Monday. The album includes 12 tracks, each carefully selected to reflect their musical growth and heartfelt gratitude toward fans. The title track captures two keywords that stood out the most during the album's production: 'eternity' and 'moment.' 'Just like how perpetual snow exists even in the heat of summer, we wanted to express our desire to be everlasting,' Lee said. Vocalist Yoo Hwe-seung also shared his attachment to the track. 'From the moment I heard it, I knew this was the title song. Both musically and messagewise, it perfectly reflects where we are now.' Over the past two years, while Lee — exempted from military service due to a predebut injury — and Yoo — who completed his service earlier — remained active, the other three were away serving in the military. During this time, the duo kept the group's presence alive with new releases and performances. 'We didn't want to fall behind, so we kept honing our skills,' said drummer Kim Jae-hyun. 'Now that we're back, I can see how much more relaxed the others have become on the stage.' Lee added, 'Each of us has taken more ownership of our instruments and roles. It's more pressure, but we work harder than ever, trying new ways of performing even the same songs.' Now reunited, is gearing up for its first world tour under the banner "&Con4: Full Circle," covering 28 cities across Asia, US, Oceania, Europe and South America through January next year. 'Every country has its own energy and culture, so we're researching to tailor each show accordingly,' said Kim. 'We're trying to curate different set lists for each stop. It's exciting!' The tour kicked off in Seoul with three days of concerts at Olympic Hall from May 9-11 — the first time performing at the iconic venue for the band. Guitarist Cha Hun recalled, 'We performed new songs and arrangements, and the crowd's response was overwhelming. It really touched us.' Kim added with a smile, 'Fans were so into the music that some stopped recording to just enjoy the moment. That really stuck with me.' Reflecting on their 10th anniversary, bassist Seo Dong-sung said, 'It's hard to believe it's already been 10 years. As the youngest member, this journey feels surreal and I'm just thankful.' Yoo echoed the sentiment. 'It hasn't always been easy, but we've made it here by sharing stories with our fans. For the next 10 years, I want us to aim even higher and make better music.' The group still meets weekly for meals and conversations, deepening both their friendship and creative synergy. 'We're still learning about each other, still building our teamwork. At this point, we're more like brothers, like family.' Looking ahead, Kim shared his hopes: 'We've built our career step by step like a staircase — slow but steady. I want us to keep moving forward like that, one step at a time.' Yoo concluded, 'I hope this new album offers comfort and creates positive influence. More than anything, we want to be a band that gives good energy through good music.' jy@
