Five Treasure Box is the fourth studio album by South Korean rock band F.T. Island. It was released in South Korea on September 10, 2012, under FNC Entertainment and distributed by Mnet Media. Being the band's first studio album in three years, the title of the album reflects the "treasure" of the songs on the album, where they contributed to seven of the ten tracks on the album by songwriting or composition. The album sold over 30,000 copies in its first week and debuted at number one on the weekly Gaon albums chart. The single "I Wish" has peaked at number eight on the weekly Gaon singles chart and earned F.T. Island one K-Chart win on Mnet's music television program M! Countdown.
