On the October 3rd broadcast of JTBC's 'Sleeping with the Boss', FNC Entertainment artists F.T. Island and CNBLUE appeared with their CEO Han Sung Ho to discuss their honest feelings regarding the company. On this episode, Hongki particularly had a story about F.T. Island's mode of transportation.

In the clip shown above, the MCs mention a rumor that F.T. Island are currently riding a regular minivan, while CNBLUE are riding a celebrity van. F.T. Island denied the rumor, and Hongki said (at 00:24 mark), "Honestly I have something to say about this," putting his CEO on edge.


Hongki charted F.T. Island's changing transportation vehicles, saying, "We were originally using the models 'Star' and 'Nival'. During our early days [as idols] when we suddenly became popular, our company suddenly rented us the nice celebrity van."


He continued, "When we went to Japan, our domestic popularity fell, so we went back [to Star and Nival]." Annoyed by the change, Hongki stated, "And so we said to the CEO, 'We will use our own money to buy a celeb van.' And so now, we ride a celeb van."


Meanwhile, in the same video, CNBLUE noted that because F.T. Island bought their own van, the CEO told CNBLUE to buy a van too. However, contrary to F.T. Island, CNBLUE shared that they did not like the idea of spending money on a van and didn't find the vehicle comfortable anyway. The CEO then added that idols usually don't care about vans, but fans request for their idols to ride vans as if it is a necessity.
