'Immortal Songs' Yudai Takenaka boasted of his close friendship with FT Island's Lee Hong-gi.

In the the 18th broadcast of KBS 2TV's variety program 'Immortal Songs', episode 752, Part 2 of the 'Composer Yoon Il-sang Special' was aired, revisiting the musical world of composer Yoon Il-sang.

On that day, Yudai Takenaka, vocalist of the Japanese band Nobel Bright, answered that he was indeed familiar with 'Immortal Songs', stating "Of course, I know it" and added "I have seen it before because a few of my friends have appeared on the program".

The identity of his friend was none other than FT Island's Lee Hong-gi. Yudai Takenaka revealed that "Hong-gi is my best friend" and said "'When Hong-gi mentioned he would appear on 'Immortal Songs", he told me the filming is extremely long and would be exhausting". In response, Kim Jun-hyun remarked "That sounds just like Lee Hong-gi", drawing laughter from the audience.

When asked if he felt the recent surge in popularity in Korea, Yudai Takenaka responded "Just a year ago, I could eat comfortably at restaurants, but since six months ago, whenever I go to a restaurant, people recognize me as 'Yudai', which was surprising". He also shared "I once went to eat a whole chicken, and the owner, recognizing me as a fan, refused to accept payment".

Choi Chan-won then added "I often watch Yudai Takenaka's videos, and I was moved by seeing fans singing along in unison". Yudai Takenaka expressed his gratitude, saying "Korean fans memorized the Japanese lyrics and sang along in unison, which was amazing. Their enthusiastic singing truly moved and delighted me".
