FTIsland Lead Singer Lee Hongki To Release 1st Solo Album This Month
After controversy surrounding the relationship between FTIsland's Lee Hongki and label president Han Sung Ho, the singer is finally getting a solo debut.
It would seem that the pair have finally solved their issues.
Nov. 4, an FNC Entertainment representative revealed that Lee Hongki will be releasing a solo album this November. Though a specific release date and format has yet to be announced, fans can be assured that Hongki will also begin promotions for the album sometime this month.
"Hongki will release a solo album in the middle of November and will begin promotions in the country," said an FNC Entertainment representative (via Allkpop).
The controversy between Hongki and Han Sung Ho began earlier this year when Han made a statement about Hongki being a "deviant" of the company while Hongki was on tour in Japan with FTIsland. Hongki then expressed disappointment that Han would say something about him while he wasn't there.
Hongki has also expressed more issues with FNC Entertainment in general. Back in August, Hongki made a somewhat playful post on his Instagram about how FNC did not put any effort into promoting FTIsland's comeback song "Puppy."
Though he's not one to hold his tongue, perhaps now that Hongki is getting his own solo debut things are looking up for his relationship with the company. As for fans of FTIsland, this will likely mark the end of the group's promotions this year after a successful Korean comeback and Japanese comeback.
It doesn't seem like a bad deal however, since Hongki has yet to make a solo release since his debut with FTIsland back in 2007.

There is growing interest in the two stars who will be acting together after six years since You′re Beautiful spurred the hallyu craze.
Meanwhile, a teaser page for Lee Hong Gi′s first solo album will launch on November 9. Lee Hong Gi will begin promotions after his album drops in mid-November.
On January 23, a source from FNC Entertainment announced the news, saying, “Choi Jong Hun will be appearing in the second group for the SBS variety show ‘Law of the Jungle.’ He plans to leave [for Sumatra] in the beginning of February.”

SEOUL - Yet another K-pop artist is in the hot seat, after fans were shocked by recent reports of what singer Jung Joon-young and BigBang singer Seungri had allegedly done.
Even as the police have called in Jung and Seungri for questioning on Thursday (March 14) over Jung's illicit video-taping of women in sex acts and Seungri's procurement of prostitutes for VIP clients of his club, fans of FT Island are now calling for the removal of Choi Jong-hoon from the rock band.
Fans are upset over reports that Choi was part of a group chat where Jung shared his sex videos.
According to Korean media sources, there is also speculation that Choi might have bribed the police to not reveal his drink-driving in 2016.
Local broadcaster SBS reported that Choi, Jung, Seungri and others were involved in a discussion over how to keep the drink-driving under wraps, including bribery.
Fans have also hit out at Choi for keeping mum amid the rumours, and the band's management FNC for not addressing the various issues.
In their statement, the fans noted that "as a leader, he has disgraced FT Island's image and is expected to negatively affect their activities. We strongly demand as of March 13, 2019 that Choi Jong-hoon be removed, not suspended, from the group."
