FT Island is not only popular in Taiwan, but is also rising popularity throughout Asia. The five boys spent 2 days to help the media in Asia to record about 50 new greeting video clips. In one of the video clips for Taiwanese fans, the members spoke Chinese, and Seunghyun nearly spoke about 30 Chinese characters in one breath, showing their results of hard training. Hongki revealed that the members are currently learning Chinese, and also kept asking the Taiwanese fans to not change their hearts, hoping to quickly get together in Taiwan again.
Recently FT Island released their first mainstream album FIVE TREASURE ISLAND in Japan. The first week of release, it was first place on Oricon daily chart with 37,000 copies solde, changing Oricon daily chart for the first time in 42 years where a foreign male group topped number one on the Oricon daily chart, and it's the first time in history where Korean artists/groups received number 1 on the chart for 2 consecutive weeks. (Last weeks was Big Bang)! Although the 5 members are young, they set new records on the Oricon chart, and they happily said, "It's unbelieveable! We thank our fans for the support. In order to perform better in the future, we will work harder!"
