FT Island Announces Comeback with 'LOCK UP' Album in December

On November 29, FT Island's label FNC Entertainment announced through the release of a title poster on their social media the comeback of the group with their upcoming eighth mini-album "LOCK UP."

In the title poster, chains and a padlock can be seen, depicting a painful moment of love where the memories of a lover after a breakup get locked up in a Pandora's box. It also shows the complex feeling of love from the moment we face a breakup to the moment we promise to love again.

FNC Entertainment also revealed the title track of the upcoming album to be called "Unthinkable," which is said to be about the realistic feelings that cannot be accepted even after wanting to accept a breakup with a lover.

With lead vocalist Lee Hong Gi's soulful voice, accompanied with the mournful atmosphere of the song, it will surely leave a deep impression to listeners.
