Problem Statement

In acute triangle ABCABC (ABC\triangle ABC is not an isosceles triangle), II is its incentre, and circle ω \omega is its inscribed circle. ω\odot\omega touches BC,CA,ABBC, CA, AB at D,E,FD, E, F respectively. ADAD intersects with ω\odot\omega at JJ (JDJ\neq D), and the circumcircle of BCJ\triangle BCJ intersects ω\odot\omega at KK (KJK\neq J). The circumcircle of BFK\triangle BFK and CEK\triangle CEK meet at LL (LKL\neq K). Let MM be the midpoint of the major arc BACBAC. Prove that M,I,LM, I, L are collinear.
