FT Island’s trip to Malaysia was supposed to be an opportunity for the boys to meet their Malaysian fans and have a good time. Instead, it turned out to be a major disappointment, for the band and fans alike.
According to fans, their autograph session on March 29th was disorganized to say the least. The boys did not arrive on time, the bodyguards were rude and the organizers only allowed fans with the “right” import CD version to receive autographs. On top of being extremely late, FT Island boys showed their face for only 15 minutes, angering fans who waited for hours. How considerate.
Then, the next day the FT Island’s concert was canceled the last minute without any explanations. Nobody knows whether the promoter, the management company or both are at fault, but the damage was already done. FT Island’s reputation was tarnished and fans were disappointed.
Incidents like this makes me wonder if Hallyu stars are truly ready to branch out of the Seoul comfort zone. What do you think?
