What Happened
SF9 officially released their second full-length album ‘TENACITY’ (터내서티) on August 26, 2026, at 6 PM KST across various music platforms. The title track ‘Without Wings’ (위드아웃 윙스) music video was unveiled simultaneously. The same day, the group held a showcase at Cube Convention Center (CCC) in Seoul to meet fans.
The album comprises a total of 10 tracks: the title track ‘Without Wings,’ along with ‘Curtain Call,’ ‘PRESSURE,’ ‘One More Kiss,’ ‘Cross My Mind,’ ‘Too Easily,’ ‘Mr. Bang Bang,’ ‘Best Mistake,’ ‘REAL FROM THE FAKE,’ and ‘Do You Want Me’.
Members Youngbin, Hwiyoung, and Chani participated in writing lyrics for multiple tracks, adding meaningful depth to the album.
Official Statement
FNC Entertainment first announced the album on August 6, 2026, through official social media channels, revealing the album title ‘TENACITY’. A teaser video accompanying the announcement featured a clock marked with English numerals from “One” to “Ten,” with the hand pointing to “Ten” before transitioning to the album title ‘TENACITY’.
According to the agency, ‘TENACITY’ means “perseverance, tenacity, and indomitable will”- also incorporating “TEN” to signify SF9’s 10th debut anniversary. The album reflects on the group’s journey over the past decade while telling the story of moving forward once again.
The title track ‘Without Wings’ is described as a song that intuitively captures SF9’s story of overcoming limits and soaring once more. The performance embodies the message that “even without wings, one can fly again,” depicting the group breaking through self-imposed boundaries.
Background
SF9 debuted in October 2016 with the album Feeling Sensation. Over the past decade, they have built a solid discography across diverse genres, earning recognition with songs such as “Summer Breeze” (여름 향기가 날 춤추게 해), “Now or Never” (돌고 돌아), and “Good Guy”.
The group began their 10th anniversary activities earlier this year with the special album About Love released in March, followed by a Japanese edition.
SF9 consists of members Youngbin, Inseong, Jaeyoon, Dawon, Zuho, Yoo Taeyang, Hwiyoung, and Chani. The group experienced a period of reduced activity intensity due to members’ consecutive military enlistments.
Why It Matters
‘TENACITY’ marks SF9’s first full-length album in their 10th anniversary year, making it a significant milestone in the group’s career. The album title carries dual meaning – both the dictionary definition of perseverance and the numeric “TEN” representing a decade since debut.
The participation of members Youngbin, Hwiyoung, and Chani in songwriting demonstrates the group’s artistic growth and maturity. The album’s thematic focus on overcoming limits and moving forward resonates with SF9’s journey through military hiatuses and their return to full-group activities.
Fan Reactions
Based on social media activity and online communities, fans have expressed enthusiasm for the group’s return with a full-length album. The concept photos, which depicted members breaking free from cages and celebrating with confetti and cake, garnered attention for their visual storytelling. The music video teaser for ‘Without Wings,’ featuring symbolic objects including yellow flowers and flying birds, generated curiosity about the full narrative.
What’s Next
Following the album release, SF9 will hold their 10th anniversary solo concert ‘Chukmong’ (十年逐夢) on October 10-11, 2026, at KBS Arena in Seoul. The concert will feature a setlist spanning the group’s 10-year career along with special stages prepared exclusively for the event.
Additional anniversary projects include a pop-up store, debut anniversary live streaming, and various commemorative events.
