He said,�"I had trouble with my musical identity. When we would promote in Japan, we performed the songs that we made and people would acknowledge us as a band, but in Korea we're labeled idols and promote with the songs that our company makes.�I thought a lot about band music versus mainstream music."�

Meanwhile, F.T. Island recently made their comeback with their fifth album 'I Will', the first album full of songs that the members themselves produced and composed.�
