The boy group SF9, already six years old, has announced a comeback! The new album “The Wave OF9”, which comes out on July 13, will feel a bit different than usual, because for the first time not all members are taking part.
At the end of March, two members - Inseong & Youngbin - began their military service. After that, the Japanese album “The Best 〜Dear Fantasy〜” was still released, but the group had prepared it as nine. So it was almost like always.
Now, however, fans have to come to terms with the fact that SF9 will be active with fewer members for quite a while. Only six of them are involved in the new album; Rowoon announced a few days ago that he won't be part of this comeback. Of course, that doesn't mean we expect any less from the new album than before! Jaeyoon, Zuho, Dawon, Hwiyoung, Taeyang and Chani will surely give their all to thrill their fans as six, too!
The Wave OF9
SF9 have already uploaded the first image teasers on their official social media accounts.
It looks like the members are waiting for their fans at a beach bar to celebrate the summer with them!
The excitement is building - time to take a look at the album details!
There are two versions to choose from - “Ray of the Sun” & “Chillin at Night” - which each include, besides the CD, a 96-page photobook, one of 6 concept postcards, one of 6 bookmarks, a logo sticker and one of 12 selfie photocards. The shape of the bookmarks from the Ray of the Sun version is reminiscent of a surfboard. That fits the cover of the version, which also shows a board.
Not only the bookmark, but absolutely all contents are designed individually for each version. It's worth thinking about getting both versions, because you definitely won't get anything twice! If you order the album before 14.07., you'll optionally get a poster as well.
