According to the agency, FT Island will be busy holding concerts in Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, and Thailand in addition to their domestic and Japanese Arena concerts.  If this isn’t enough, the boys will also be releasing their new Japanese single, ‘Distance‘ on the 30th and will back it up with a long series of promotional activities.

Regarding this matter, FNC Music stated, “Due to the packed schedules of both teams, it’s tough to even step foot in Korea.  In CN Blue’s case, they have schedules in more than 5 countries starting in 2 months.  We don’t even have a week to stay in Korea.  This goes the same for FT Island as well.  We really wanted to attend the ceremonies, but it’s not easy changing the schedules that were made long ago.”
Wow, talk about a packed schedule!  We know their activities are important, but we hope they get some rest too!
