FT Island successfully completed their Japan concert tour recently with the support from soccer player Cho Jaejin (playing for Gamba Osaka of Japan).

Cho Jaejin met up with FT Island in Osaka when they were there previously on the 10th. He went to their Osaka concert to show his support for them and also gave them encouragement for their 3rd album promotional activies in Korea.

Whenever FT Island holds concert in Japan, Cho Jaejin will always turn up at their event to support them if it does not clash with his own match or training schedules. Lee Hongki and Choi Jonghoon play soccer with him occasionally in Japan and they are close with one another.

Cho Jaejin gave the two lots of guidance on soccer and because of a common interest, they became closer with one another. Lee Hongki and Choi Jonghoon also send text messages or give phonecalls to cheer for Cho Jaejin in Japan whenever he has a soccer match.

FT Island is currently promoting their title song “Barae (I Hope)”. They will be appearing on KBS 2TV “Music Bank” on 24th, MBC “Show! Music Core” on 25th and SBS “Inkigayo” on 26th July.
