> **FTISLAND** (FT아일랜드) is a South Korean Boy Group that debuted in 2007. They consist of 3 members: Lee Hong Gi, Jaejin and Minhwan. 

They have 4 songs among the most popular in Korea.

FTISLAND (Five Treasure Island) was formed under FNC Entertainment as one of the pioneer idol band projects in Korean music. Prior to the group's official introduction, main vocalist Lee Honggi had already established a career as a child actor in television dramas, while the remaining members: Choi Jonghoon, Lee Jaejin, Choi Minhwan, and Oh Wonbin; underwent intensive instrumental and vocal training under the agency's trainee system.

The band's lineup underwent its first major shift early in their career when guitarist Oh Wonbin departed the group due to musical differences, with FNC trainee Song Seunghyun stepping in as his replacement. A decade later, FTISLAND experienced significant structural disruptions. In March 2019, long-time leader and guitarist Choi Jonghoon permanently retired from the entertainment industry following his criminal involvement in the high profile "Burning Sun scandal", where he was convicted for his role in illicit chatrooms involving sexual assault. Later that same year, guitarist Song Seunghyun opted not to renew his contract, leaving the agency to pursue an acting career.

In October 2024, drummer Choi Minhwan temporarily halted his official activities following public allegations made by his former spouse regarding his personal conduct and visits to adult establishments, but Police dropped the case due to low suspicion and lack of evidence.
