“There have been so many things in the past 10 years, but we will do our best and not let them be a concern. We do not want to lose the friendship between us and the fans,” said the band’s frontman Lee Hong-ki.
Fellow FNC Entertainment-affiliated band N.Flying made a guest appearance to perform three songs.
The concerts in Japan were part of FT Island’s global tour to celebrate its 10th anniversary, which kicked off with a concert in Seoul on Aug. 26.
Following Japan, the band will visit Moscow, Budapest, Amsterdam, Paris and Istanbul for its Europe tour.
