As many of our readers (especially those of you in Southeast Asia) know, tropical typhoon season is hitting the Philippines especially hard this year. In the past twenty-four hours, a combination of a recent storm and the subsequent flood waters has left over one hundred people dead or missing and 250,000 homeless.
As for FT Island, the quintet was stationed in Cebu on September 25 to film their latest music video; however, they were left isolated due to this sudden crisis which may be shaping up to be the worst storm in forty years.
(kwintet F.t island akan pergi k Cebu pd tgl 25 sept untuk merekam musik video terbaru mereka, akan tetapi mereka malah terisolasi dan merasakan badai yg paling parah dalam 40 thn)
Hearing this news, FT Island's company, FNC, called to see if anything was wrong, only to be met with no signal. During the crisis, radio contact was lost due to hurricane damage, thus cutting off any connection with the crew. Fortunately, the homebase finally made contact with the crew that afternoon and was able to breathe a sigh of relief with reports that everyone was safe.
(mendengar kabar it, Fnc(perusahaan F.T Island) menelpon untuk mengetahui apakah adah sesuatu yg tidak beres, ternyata ada masalah dengan tidak adanya signal. Selama krisis, kontak dng radio jg hilang karena angin ribut, yg juga mengakibatkan hilang-nya kontak dng krew.Untungnya, pangkalan induk akhirnya bisa menghubungi krew sore itu dan bisa menghembuskan napas lega dengan berita semua selamat)
The boys' schedules have not been significantly affected by the hurricane, and shooting will continue as planned. The aerial shooting, which was originally planned to be completed over four days & three nights has been squeezed into a tighter schedule of two days due to the hurricane. The crew is expected to return to Korea after twenty-eight days.
(schedules F.t i tdk berdampak signifikan karena angin ribut, dan syuting tetap berjalan seperti yang dijadwalkan. shyuting yg seharusnya selesai 4 hari dan 3 malam dijadwal ulang menjadi 2 hari karena angin ribut. Krew dijadwalkan akan kembali setelah 28 hari)
We're looking forward to this music video & wish the boys an enjoyable (and safe!) trip. We also wish the best of luck and our prayers to those in the Philippines. For those of you interested in helping out, cash donations can be sent to the Land Bank of the Philippines at Account No. 3122-101-184 (Department of Social Welfare and Development).
