So the rumor we heard was true! It’s been confirmed that FT Island’s guitarist and sub-vocalist, Oh Won Bin will be leaving the team. The company explained on the 28th that even though Wonbin is leaving, the group will not remain as a 4 member team and that the search for a new member in progress. FT Island is still planning on releasing a mini album sometime in February with this new member.
According to the company, Wonbin had come to this hard decision after thinking about it for quite some time. The other members have stated that “it is sad to see him go and that we hope to be able to grow through this rough transition.”
What a huge loss for the team and for the kpop scene. Seeing as how FT Island was one of the few idol groups with talent, I don’t know how they’ll fill up his spot. I just hope they actually get someone with the skills and the talent to carry on the FT Island name. After all, we wouldn’t want FT Island to become some idol group that just uses their face to get famous.

OH. Until now, I don’t know the reason behind. :(
…heh…i already new this and i wanted to search it up again…i miss Won Bin…but Seung Hyun is cool too……..
I know it’s so sad. i was watching videos of his last performance and all the members are all crying and they could barely sing their parts. Won Bin and Hongki were the only ones that actually got their parts out. I was watching the Idol Show Season Two Episode one and Won Bin is so funny and it made me miss him.
Its not the same without him but the new member Song Seung Hyun isn’t bad either. He was a trainee in the same entertainment group (F&C Music) and he plays the guitar as well and raps. I mean, i like them both but Won Bin was the original and it’s just not the same, you know?
He went to pursue his own style of music and i’m hoping he succeeds and i’m really interested in what type of music he wanted to pursue so badly he left FT Island.
Primadonna’s are always rooting for you no matter what!
We love you Won Bin ♥
wonbin ahhh….na jungmal suksange yo…why did you leave ft island? ft island is incomplete without you..even though there are still four of them……whae wonbin ahh whae….
omg! oh won bin! come back!

i wish wonbin never left ft island
i know they should all show their talent like big bang!
but im still glad that ft island isnt breaking up but i am still so mad that wonbin left!
i heard that he didn’t have a good relationship with jonghun and yeahh . everyone could sing in the group but hongki is the only one singing and wonbin as a sub ? rapping ? even though hongki has an amazing voice , i think they should all show their talents . like big bang . also a member of five ?
won bin……………………………………………………..
Please don’t leave ft island.I appeal in you
:-( won bin can you decide again?I promise will more interested in you compared jae jin if you stay with ft island.Please tkinking again won bin!
this really stinks and i hate that they already have a new member! well im glad for ft island but not for wonbin
im glad that honggi was their to try to protect him but why would the other members do that!
he was brave to leave i hope he does good!
Youre so brave, I’m so proud of u.
If I were him I cant decide to leave.
But why??? Have no idea.
If I cant talk with him, I wanna talk with him. OMG.
to ftislandlover1 (#217):
Honggi was the one who stay with Wonbin all this time.
When Wonbin left, he ran after him and asked him to go back.
Only those three who were picking on Wonbin.
Honggi tried to help but he couldn’t do much because he’s alone too.
This splitting is definitely the hardest for Wonbin and Honggi,
since they have been best friends for years.. :((
I WISH I KNEW WHERE HE WAS SO I CAN BEG HIM TO COME BACK TO FT ISLAND!!!!!! ì›ë¹ˆì‚¬ëž‘해가지마!!!!!(wonbin love you dont go1!!!!)
THIS STINKS~!!!
they are making the biggest mistake of their lifes if they are going to let wonbin leave
i hope he comes back and joins again!
i will miss him so much!
well it isnt his fauld i just relized it coulb be a family thing
well won bin isnt stupid he did leave on this own i think he has something going at home or something
i hope ft island makes it and i really wish that wonbin will me safe
well i know snsd has 9 members but ft island has 5 members and it is very noticable if one of them leaves :(
i cant belive that the other members espically hongki would pick on him!
I heard from my friend that he was bullied by the members, mainly the leader because he did not like Wonbin. So he made the final decision to leave the group.
whoo. i could care less with the group itself, but it’s like so uhmmm, unusual(?) to see someone leaving his group. if this were to happen to snsd, i’d freak out. but then again, soshi has 9 members, minus 1, we still have a lot. lol
agreed that they have talent..
but i dont understand why he’s leaving.. is he going solo?? but anyways.. its sad..and i hope ft pulls through this and become better than ever!
don’t say he’s stupid.. it makes me more sad to see people say that to him.. he must have his own personal reason, which i bet is actually not about the music. yeah, music is one factor, but who knows if there’s another reason hidden…
WHY!!?!?!?! stupid wonbin :( He should stay.
no………….no…………no………….T_T
wonbin!!??
why?? why??
I’m gonna miss him.. T_T :( :((
Im their biggest primadonna from malaysia.
im sad.
im angry, but not to wonbin.
not to the other members as well.
im angry at the situation..
i’m not sure whether song seung hyun will be as good as wonbin,
it is too early too judge,
but i hope i can love him as much as i love wonbin.
i’ll support wonbin no matter.
though my fav is minhwan, i always love fti as a whole..
im sad, yeah…
sooo…does anyone know where he is now?? and what he is doing now?? i know he just left like two days ago, but i missed him much already. i wanna see him so bad right now. i tried to google about him but found nothing. any help please..?
this cant happen no WonBin DONT GO WE WILL MISS YOU!!!!!!!!!
wow…it’s not like he died…he just left the group because he probably couldn’t take it or something. it’s not like he was fired. seriously, it’s not THAT depressing. it’s a little sad but in reality its just not worth crying about since we are just on the outside looking in and we don’t even know what is REALLY going on. geez.
owh, i can’t believe this…
aww hope he’ll find his own way through this…OH SO SAD!!!!
T.T
hope the other members are okay too…T^T
this is so freaking depressing ><“
@201: OMG I’M WITH YOU THERE. OMFG. I’m going to Korea this summer and the first thing I am doing is hunting this man though. ;____;
BAAAAWWWWW. I actually cried for real today. ;_____; I can’t be an FT island fan without Wonbin! HE WAS MY FAVORITE FREAKEN MEMBER SINCE THEY DEBUTED! DDDDX No matter who the new member is, he’ll never replace Wonbin and he’ll NEVER be able to warm up to me. I’m just so upset right now. I’m gonna start raging and destroying things. JESUS CHRIST.
-cries a sea of tears-
WONBIN WHYYYYY TT TT ?!?!
-runs to emo corner and slits wrists-
HE WAS MY FAVOURITE MEMBER AS WELL WTF MAN?! I am so running to S. Korea now, hunt him down, and bash some sense into him D<
