Has anyone heard about what FT Island's maknae (youngest member) is up to now?
Well, it looks like he's joining the rest of his hyungs (older "brothers") as an actor.
In one of my earlier posts, I wrote about how surprised I was that Song Seung Hyun could actually sing. Apparently, he can sing pretty well. Well enough to be cast into role of "Daniel" in the musical "Jack the Ripper".
Now, I'm waiting for the jury to come out on whether or not this guy can act. But if his singing is any indication, he may surprise us.
But...and it's a small favor to ask...can someone talk to the make-up artists, let them know that the guy is actually good looking. And that he doesn't need all that pancake make-up in order to look good.
Hey, I'm all for stage make-up, it worked wonders for me. But if you don't need a lot of it, please lay off. For one, it makes you look like a ghost, another is that it gets very itchy. And lastly, if you start to sweat, you begin to sweat rivers of pancake make-up. Trust me when I say that it doesn't look very good under hot lights.
Take a look below and tell me, does he look like he needs this much make-up? *have to disclose that I don't own this picture. I took it off of allkpop, so rights go to them*
The poor guy has so much make-up he looks like a woman and just shy of a clown. Give the guy a break, please?
Song Seung Hyun...like your hyungs told you, work hard and do well! Hope you have a successful run that will lead to many more opportunities!

Rappers Can Sing?
I've thought of rappers as just, well, rappers. They can't dance, they can't sing. They just rap.
Imagine my surprise when I came across the likes of Song Seung Hyun of FT Island. He not only raps, he also plays guitar, and...he sings! Take a look at the video below. He comes in for the second verse. (Note that I do not own this video. This is off of a scabiosa's site on Youtube.)
I was so shocked, but at the same time, I could feel a wide smile grow even wider on my face. I am so used to American rappers looking all "gangsta" and be essentially tone deaf when it comes to singing. I am so used to seeing them punctuate their words with quick and hard hand gestures.
When I came across this video of FT Island on a radio show performing "Like A Doll", it was like the heavens opened up above me. I was that impressed and blown away.
Granted his vocals were not as gripping or as strong as other singers, but his tone, oh the tone of his voice. It made me melt. (Sorry Hong Ki, don't worry, I still love you more)
Till this day, whenever Song Seung Hyun sings, it makes me smile. A rapper blew my pre-conceived notions of a rapper out of the rapper. Awesome...
And now...this rapper is in a musical showing off more of his vocals in "Jack the Ripper". Totally awesome.
Just for the heck of it, here is Song Seung Hyun "rapping" in FT Island's "Like Birds" (Sadeul Cheoreom). (Again, I do not own this video. This was off of jihyun0505's site on Youtube. Credit goes to FNC Entertainment who originally produced this video)
