FT Island reveals the real reason to why they decided to appear on ‘Immortal Song 2′

During a recent interview with online music portal ‘Monkey3‘, FT Island revealed the real reason to their appearance on ‘Immortal Song 2′.

When the members were asked whether or not it was their good looks that caused people to question their actual skills they replied, “People accused us of not actually playing our instruments just by looking at our hand motions on television. There were even rumors that the background music in our albums were not even performed by us. This is probably the main reason why we decided to be on ‘Immortal Song 2′. The rumors were really unsettling.”

They then stated, “We were very glad when we received positive feedback when we appeared on the show. Just by performing live infront of the crowds and showing them we did not fake any of our performances made the stage even more special and meaningful.”
