'Savior': SF9 announces Universe single and online concert after ‘Trauma’ comeback
The year may be coming to an end but SF9 has no plans of slowing down. 2021 was their best year yet as we had them finally getting the international recognition they deserve with their participation in the fierce survival show ‘Kingdom’. We then got back-to-back comebacks with ‘Tear Drop’ and ‘Trauma’. They played to their strengths of soul-tinged dance music and seductive concepts and even broke personal records as they got their highest first-week sales and reached the 1 million mark with total album sales.
And now, a month after the ‘Trauma’ era we are once again getting new music and performances from SF9. Fans first were disheartened when the youngest member, Chani hinted that their fan con in August would be the last time all of SF9 got together since the oldest members are nearing the age of enlistment for mandatory military service. But Fantasys (SF9’s fandom) were pleasantly surprised with the release of SF9's 10th mini-album ‘Rumination’ in November. And despite the promotional era of the title track, ‘Trauma’ being short, we are still getting a barrage of content from the K-pop group like new music and concerts.
