I can't believe there are some people bashing him. Can't they tell he's really sick? And I can objectively and non-biasedly say that he's a very consistent, great LIVE performer. He hardly misses a note when he's not sick. Those people should watch other F.T Island's performances and if they still say that he can't sing, they seriously should get their ears checked -.-". And they were last-minute replacements too! The news article was saying that Hongki feels "very ashamed since he could not show a good performance". I mean, he was sick but he still performed, so there's really nothing to be ashamed about, Hongki!
Someone posted the link to a fancam of Please Don't Love from their concert on the 28th. (Or here's another link on Youtube, more focused.) He was singing fine, but then after the 2nd chorus he sounded like he was choking, and then a few seconds later he cried. He tried to continue singing, but then, he broke down. After sobbing for a few seconds, he continued singing till the end, albeit still crying. I don't know whether he was crying because
EDIT: Here's another fancam of the same song on their concert the previous day, 27th. He was singing perfectly fine, and at the end he cried a teeny bit. Since he cried on both days singing the same song, I guess he can relate to the lyrics of the song, or was moved by it. I want to know the meaning of the lyrics ;__;. And now that I listen to the one on 28th again, he was singing okay, haha. My bad!
Hongki hwaiting!!! ♥♥♥
