SF9 announced the release of the best album "ReStart" in about two years and the implementation of a release event to commemorate the release of the new album. In addition, they also announced that they will hold "SF9 2024 ZEPP LIVE IN JAPAN - ReStart -" in Osaka and Yokohama in March. The new work announced this time is the second best album following the previous work "THE BEST ～Dear Fantasy～". After members Youngbin and Inseong enlisted, the new album includes popular songs from the latest album "Sequence" released in January. The Japanese versions of the lead songs of each album, "SCREAM," "Puzzle," and "BIBORA," have also been newly recorded to herald a new beginning for SF9. In particular, the latest song "BIBORA" won first place on Bugs' real-time chart on the day of its release and also won first place on the music program "Popular Song." Despite being the first comeback activity in about a year, it showed unwavering popularity. This work, which includes the latest popular songs, is available in two versions: regular and first limited editions. The first limited edition includes a luxurious 36-page booklet taken for this album. In addition, to commemorate the release of the new album "ReStart," a release event where fans can meet the members directly, which has not been held for about a year and a half since the "Good Guy" release event two years ago, will be held on weekends in mid-April in the Kanto and Kansai regions. If you purchase the regular edition, you will receive an invitation ticket for a "personal high-touch meeting," and if you purchase the first limited edition, you will receive an invitation ticket for a "personal 2-shot photo session." Furthermore, among those who purchase both the regular and first limited editions at FNC JAPAN ONLINE STORE, invitation tickets will be included at random for 200 people for a "group sign meeting" and a "group shot photo session." Details will be announced later on the official HP. Also, the live "SF9 2024 ZEPP LIVE IN JAPAN - ReStart -" will be held in Osaka and Yokohama in March.
