BUZZ, a handsome rock band that gained popularity over the past few years, is currently disbanded*. Therefore, the previews and brief appearances of the teenage idol rock band, F.T Island, has gained much in the music industry.

F.T Island surprised many people with their amazing performance at their first showcase on May 27, 6:00PM at Melon-AX. Over 2,000 fans showed up to see their unofficial debut.

F.T Island was well-known even before their debut, and through their program, "Wanna Be Your Boyfriend" aired on Mnet, one of their songs was released and their crowd of fans sang along at their showcase performance.

In only the 1 hour the showcase was held was, F.T Island showed talent that was hard to believe was being played by boys in their teens. The members' manners were unbelievably polite as well.

Made up of the 5 members: vocal Lee Hong Ki (18), drums Choi Min Hwan (15), guitar Choi Jong Hoon (18), second vocal Oh Won Bin (18), and bass Lee Jae Jin (16), F.T Island will become "a band with talented performance and music with emotion." They also declared a few days before the showcase that "Like our name, F.T Island, we will become five unique treasures."

We are all excited to see more of this new idol band, and with their first album being released on the 8th of June, there won't be a long wait.

NOTE: BUZZ IS NOT DISBANDED.
People have been saying that they broke up, but it has not been actually 'officially' announced by the band members themselves. I'm not sure who, but some of the members went to train in the military.
However, they have admitted that even after the member(s)'s training in the military is over, it will be hard to get together again.
