Exclusive Interview with SF9 Who Released Their First Japanese Album "Sensational Feeling Nine"! Who Is the Most Stylish Member? | JPN → ENG (SHELBEE)

Original Post 17.12.15

Boy group SF9 made up of nine people who released their first album Sensational Feeling Nine in Japan on December 13, 2017. The title song "O Sole Mio ~" is a topic in Korea, where the addictive melody of the hook is like, "once you hear it, you can't forget it".

This time on SHELBEE ..., we will take an interview in SF9 who I came to Japan to appear as the opening act at Yokohama Arena for the performance of CNBLUE, who is also senior at FNC Entertainment! It was short but we asked a lot, from the story of the new song "O Sole Mio ~" to talking about fashion.

■ "O Sole Mio ~" is a Passionate Love Song

-- What part of this album's title song "O Sole Mio~" should we pay attention to? What is the dance like?

Chani: The dance of "O Sole Mio~" is one of the most gorgeous performances, and there are a number of parts in the choreography that become points.One is the "Knight of the Sun," and the other is the "Wings of the Sun". They're scattered all over the place, so I think it's full of highlights and it's an impressive dance performance.

Taeyang: This time choreography was a new challenge, as the concept itself is different from the past ones so far. There is a point in the choreography using our outfits, but I would like you to pay special attention to those parts too besides the parts that Chani said.

-- Is there anything we should pay attention to when listening to the song?

Inseong : "O Sole Mio~" is a song in a slightly different genre called Latin Pop, and its highly addictive melody is impressive.Many people have said, "If you hear it, you won't forget it," so I think you will find it fascinating in those parts of the song.

Jaeyoon: When I first heard this song, I think you felt it, but it has a very relaxed and cheerful atmosphere.When we are recording, we also have memories that we enjoy very much.

As Inseong said earlier, I think the melody of the impressive hook is a symbolic part of this song, and the lyrics depict passionate love, so if you listen to them, you will feel a very fiery love for them.

■ The Most Stylish of Members...

- SHELBEE ... is also reports Korean trends and fashion and there are many readers who are interested in fashion, but who is the most fashion- conscious among the SF9 members? Please point to all members who you think are the most fashionable all at once! ... Go!

All: Ooooh!?

Zuho: Dawon.

Taeyang: Dawon's fashion is my favorite.

-- Mr. Dawon is the one most appointed, but what kind of place do you think is fashionable?

Rowoon: Dawon has a lot of interest in clothes. That 's why he invests much time and money on clothes. Also, he teaches the members who aren't interested in clothes or who don't know fashion well.

Especially in Hwiyoung's case, When he first debuted, he liked the style of the combination of blue and red, but now Hwiyoung is very stylish.I think that's probably because of Dawon's fashion advice.

Hwiyoung: That's the opposite! I also taught hyung (Dawon) too. I was just a little ahead of my time and a little ahead from the others.

Dawon: Don't be shy!

■ It's Most Pleasing to Gather and Celebrate Your Birthday with Everyone

- It was leader Youngbin's birthday on November 23rd...

All: Oh ~ ~ ~! Congratulations ~~ (👏👏👏)

- Have you done anything on his birthday?

Inseong: We gathered together and celebrated his birthday. Personally, I also gave a him a gift.

- What did you give?

Inseong: I gave a Youngbin a huge mouthwash. Also, I gave him hand creams that are hard to come by.

Dawon: He bought all of those at the convenience store.

Inseong: Another thing is an 8-pack chocolate pie.

- Do you always have birthday party with everyone?

Rowoon: You are always doing a birthday party. Because there are nine members, there are nine birthdays, but everyone gathers and makes a birthday party each time.

Dawon: The mood is like a party every month.

-- Finally, who was Youngbin the happiest to received gifts from?

Youngbin: I was happy to receive all the presents from the members. On my birthday, Hwiyoung and Chani went out to take the university entrance exams, and Rowoon had been preparing lunch for us since the morning, so those three were very busy.

Inseong gave me so many gifts as he said earlier, and I had Zuho buy me sushi. Jaeyoon bought me an ice cream cake, and Dawon bought me hot chocolate. Also, Taeyang came to me at the very beginning, at midnight on my birthday, told me "Happy birthday!" directly.

But, after all, I think that gathering and celebrating together is the most pleasing gift!

All: Oh ~ ~! (👏👏👏)

- Thank you very much for this time!

All: Thank you!
