A three-member rock band from South Korea! Ranking of FTISLAND’s popular songs
지독하게 (Severely)FTISLAND8rank/position
FTISLAND, led by Lee Hong-gi.
He’s also known for playing Jeremy in the drama “You’re Beautiful,” which starred Jang Keun-suk and became a huge hit in Japan.
In Korea, Hong-gi has been active since childhood and is highly regarded for his acting, enjoying great popularity as a Hallyu star.
This song depicts a tragic love story about losing a lover in an accident, and its music video—like watching a drama—will bring you to tears.
AOA’s Seolhyun gives a strong performance as the heroine.
MONOCHROMEFTISLAND9rank/position
FTISLAND, a powerhouse band that has led the K-ROCK scene for many years.
This is one of the tracks that gives its name to their Japanese album “Instinct,” released in September 2025.
It’s their first highly anticipated release in Japan in six years since the album “Everlasting.” The members were deeply involved in the production, resulting in a rock number that distills the band’s essence and maturity into a richly layered sound.
Stripped-down instrumentation intertwines with soul-stirring vocals to vividly portray inner passion and conflict.
If you sit with it on a quiet, contemplative night, you’ll deeply feel the new frontier the band has reached.

Speaking of FTISLAND, their debut as high schoolers gave off an image of good looks and youthful energy, but by 2019, when this song was released, the members had entered their thirties and felt like they had grown into a mature band.
This track is also about the moments before a breakup, but it’s like a man’s anguished cry as he realizes his girlfriend doesn’t love him and accepts it.
It’s a bittersweet, adult love song about understanding that no matter how you struggle, nothing will change.
