CN Blue and FT Island might not attend domestic end of the year music award ceremonies

It was recently reported that there is a high possibility that CN Blue and FT Island will be absent from domestic end of the year music award ceremonies due to other obligations outside of the country.
On November 19th, FNC Music (the label company responsible for both groups) revealed, “Due to the Asia Tour and packed foreign schedules, the possibility of CN Blue and FT Island attending domestic end of the year ceremonies has weakened.”
They continued, “It’s become impossible for them to attend the ‘2011 Melon Awards‘ and ‘2011 MAMA’.  We can’t guarantee the other ceremonies as well.”
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.
Unsurprisingly, CN Blue will also have their hands full as they are in plans to hold an Asia Tour across Thailand, Indonesia, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, and Singapore.  To top it all off, the boys are scheduled to hold a nationwide tour in Japan starting in February of next year!
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!
