Fantasy (the official name for the fandom) is celebrating the fourth year since the debut of their favourite group and the boys have returned the love with a new release full of warm words on the 5 October.
The special album and music video reflect the four years of SF9's career and the support and love of the fan club, as well as the band members' gratitude to the fans through the title song 'Shine Together', which is addressed directly to them.
Every member left heartwarming letters to their fans on the fan cafe and SNS.
