Bugs Music Interview

Q1: Please say hello to Bugs family.
A: Hello, we are rookie boy group SF9! It's an honor to be able to great Bugs family as we're debuting.

Q2: What is the meaning of SF9?
A: SF9 is the acronym of Sensational Feeling 9. It means the boys that will surprise the world. The number 9 is taken from the Chinese character that means "for a long time," with hopes taht our team's activity and popularity will last forever.

Q3: What kind of song is your title track, Fanfare?
A: Our debut album Feeling Sensation's title track is called Fanfare. The word fanfare is used to express the heart-ringing intensity the song creates through mixing trap, hip-hop and electric sounds. We think this song can show our powerful and fancy performance well.

Q4: You've greeted your fans before debut through FNC's web drama Click Your Heart. Are there any fun stories from drama filming?
A: Other than Chanhee, it was our first time shooting a drama and all of us were both nervous and excited. At first, we didn't know where to look while on camera so it was quite confuing to keep doing the same scene over and over again. AOA sunbaenim Mina helped us match the camera with our moments and even told us about the littlest details. Thanks to her help, we were able to finish the filming successfully.

Q5: For your search term ranking promise, you released a dance cover of AOA's Heart Attack. How was the filming?
A: We were really happy that Click Your Heart came up on the real time search ranking. We prepared the dance happily, but since it was the first time we did a girl group dance cover, we were also a bit concerned. There were so many things to pay attention to, from the tip of your finger to the look of your eyes. Through endless practice, we tried to make up for our shortcomings and tried to show our own charms through the dance cover. When we were filming the video, we keep laughing because everyone is very charming and we were having fun. We're really hap that fans like the video.

Q6: You became the debuting team after winning the survival show D.O.B. What came across your mind when it was announced that you guys won on the final stage?
A: Throughout the show, we worked hard with the determination that "We can't lose, we have to win. We will debut." But when it was announced that we won, it didn't feel real. We even teared up we remembered the times we worked hard and went through hardships together. We might've won over the band team and got to debut first, but we won't be just be content with the win. We will work even harder so that we can be a debut team that lives up to expectations.

Q7: What moment left the biggest impression while filming D.O.B?
A: The moment we went on a field trip with band team. It was the first time all 13 of us went on a trip together and it left a great impression on us and is a great memory. We played around the pool, ate delicious food and had fun all day long. But what left the biggest impression on us was when we played a hidden camera prank on our leader. At first, both of the leaders were going to play a hidden camera prank on us, but we planed a counter prank on them. With the band members, we planned the tense atmosphere. Since the situation looked very serious, Youngbin hyung got teary-eyed. While we felt sorry for pranking him, we were touched and thankful that he thought about us that much. It became an opportunity for us to become closer.

Q8: Your feelings on finally debuting?
A: Finally, we're debuting! More than anyone, we earnestly yearned for this moment so we were shaking and trembling from the anticipation. Sometimes, the fact that all 9 of us are going to be on stage together doesn't feel real. We won't forget our original intention and work hard to be a group our fans can be proud of.

Q9: When does the fanfare start ringing for SF9?
A: Our first fanfare was on October 5th, the day of our debut stage. Since it's something we hoped for a long time, we want to blow the fanfare as loud as we can. We will pour everything we've practiced onto the stage so our fans can feel the fanfare in their hearts while watching our performances.

Q10: Lastly, please send a message to your fans.
A: To bugs family, SF9 is debuting with Fanfare! We will work hard to give your ears, eyes and heart a lot of excitement. Please love and support SF9 always. Thank you!
