Biography

A South Korean boy band that made a name for itself on the television show (roughly translated) Wanna Be My Boyfriend?, F.T. Island (F.T. standing for Five Treasure, the concept being that each of the groups five members represented a �treasure.') released their first album, Cheerful Sensibility, in June of 2007. Members Lee Hong Ki, Lee Jae Jin, Oh Won Bin, Choi Jong Hun, and Choi Min Hwan had enough of a hit on their hands to justify a re-release of their debut full-length, and the album came out again in December of 2007 entitled The Refreshment, and featured bonus tracks (as well as an assortment of �gifts' contained with the CD.) ~ Chris True, All Music Guide
