iMBC Reporter Ho-Young Lee

Group TFN(티에프앤) today (26th) 6: 00 p.m. through each sound source site Mini-album ' BEFORE SUNRISE part. 4 (비포 선라이즈 파트 4)'is released.

Mini album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. 4' is a total of five songs including the title song 'AMAZON', 'Deep dive', 'BLOOM', and 'SLATE', in which the members participated in writing, composing and arranging the lyrics. It boasts a well-rounded composition.

This album proves the valuable growth of TFN. As the 'Before Sunrise' series, which opened its doors with its debut, comes to an end, it fires a signal to TFN. This album, which contains the end and the beginning, will show a clear identity and charm.

In particular, as all the songs except the title song are self-composed, it is expected to firmly establish the limitless music spectrum and all-rounder's modifier.

New album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. 4', those who will turn the music industry into 'TFN' started to introduce the album directly ahead of their full-fledged activities.

Next is TFN's mini album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. 4' Q&A.

**Q. Mini album 'BEFORE SUNRSIE Part. How do you feel about releasing 4'?**

Noa: I am so happy to be able to meet the fans again after 3 months. This album is very special to us. Every time I prepare an album, I do my best, but this time, I tried harder to show an improved image. We hope that our fans will like our sincere music.

Kevin: I think this mini album was an opportunity to show fans a variety of TFN and music with various concepts. Above all, the album is filled with various songs that the members participated in writing, composing, and arranging. Please look forward to this album with TFN's unique vivid colors.

**Q. Mini album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. How would you introduce 4'?**

ON: TFN's first mini-album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. 4 (비포 선라이즈 파트 4)' is the last story of 'BEFORE SUNRISE' to find the 'only me' that we have shown since our debut. Especially since it is an album full of self-composed songs by the members, I am even more attached to it. You can look forward to this album where we showed our skills without adding or subtracting.

Gunwoo: Mini album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. 4' contains a lot of songs, so the introduction of the title song seems to be indispensable. The title song 'AMAZON' is characterized by its strong Moombahton rhythm. It contains the image of us living a fierce life in a reality like a jungle of the weak and strong. TFN is a team that has a clear message through every album, right? Please focus on the message we are sending to the world with this title song.

**Q. Do you think there will be a special feeling for the new album after the team name change?**

Leo: Actually, it is not easy to change the team name during activities. However, this change of team name gave us an opportunity to make TFN stronger. I'm really looking forward to it because I think I'll be able to show you continuous growth step by step starting from this.

Kio: After the team name change, I thought that I could show the public the infinite possibilities of TFN. As we are starting anew with TFN, we will repay our fans with good and diverse music, so please pay attention to our unique moves in the future.

**Q. How is it different from your previous albums?**

Kairi: If we showed steady growth without losing our own color in the previous album, this mini album 'BEFORE SUNRISE Part. 4' can be said to be an album that clearly reveals the direction TFN is moving forward as the hard work has paid off.

**Q. After the team name change, what part do you want to be recognized by fans?**

Noa: We, TFN, want to become a 'group without limits' beyond our versatility. It's not just a group that knows how to do vocals, performances, lyrics, composing, etc. It's a group that you can't predict what else they'll show, but you're looking forward to it. To get this modifier, we have to work even harder.

Gunwoo: The fact that there is something that comes to mind when you think of TFN is just something to be grateful for. Still, if there is something I want to be recognized by the public and fans, I think it is TFN itself. 'TFN' becomes the modifier. You will have to work harder, but if many people call you that way while promoting, it will be perfect.

**Q. What part of the mini album did you pay the most attention to?**

Zero: One of TFN's strengths is its unrivaled performance. Again, I thought about what kind of performance would make a deep impression on the public. It contains a different charm from the previous performance, which was strong in intensity, so please look forward to it.

Kevin: There is no part in this album that we didn't put a lot of effort into. In order to catch the three rabbits, from vocal to vocal, performance to performance, to writing lyrics, composing, and arranging, we worked hard to prepare. You can be sure that none of these albums are lacking.

**Q. How do you feel that all songs except for the title track of the mini album are self-composed by TFN?**

ON: I never dreamed that a song the members directly participated in would be adopted as an all-b-side song. Our new album with many meanings will be remembered as an honorable and more precious album filled with the members' own songs.

Noa: The song 'BLOOM' that I participated in this time was a big challenge because it was a new genre that TFN tried. There was a lot of pressure to show a new side, but it was a meaningful time for me to be able to show a different atmosphere, not limited to intensity and energy.

Kio: As it is an album under our name, we wanted to tell a story unique to TFN. I was very happy to be able to convey the story I wanted to tell in a song to the fans. In the next album, we will do our best to deliver better songs.

**Q. What is the point to appreciate the title song 'AMAZON'?**

Gunwoo: One of the points of appreciation for this title song 'AMAZON' is the choreography. There is a so-called 'Snake Dance', which is made with the sense of a snake moving. The performance shown through this music is not as intense as it is. There are many easy-to-follow point choreography that you will never forget when you see the stage, so I think it would be great if you listen to the song while following it once.

**Q. The music video for the title song 'AMAZON' was directed by 'Marlon Peña', the best video artist in South America. How do you feel about working together?**

Kevin: It was a great opportunity and director Marlon Penne, who is hugely popular in South America, joined us. It is said that our TFN is unique in directing music videos for K-pop idol groups that are not top South American artists. It was an honor to work with Director Marlon Penne.

Gunwoo: It was my first time working with a foreign director with director Marlon Pene. While filming the music video, everything was fresh. I would like to thank the director for willingly working with me, and I hope to have the opportunity to work together in the future.

**Q. The 'BEFORE SUNRISE' series has come to an end. Is there a new concept or genre you would like to try?**

ON: You mentioned that all the songs on this album, except for the title song, are songs that our members participated, right? We still lack a lot, but if there is an opportunity, I would like to take the lead in producing the next album by TFN. We will work hard until the day when we can show you an album full of the individuality of the nine members.

**Q. What are your goals or aspirations for this activity?**

Zero: The 'Before Sunrise' series is the last, but it's our first time as TFN. As we are starting anew, we want to make sure the public recognizes our differentiated identity.

Kio: I hope this promotion gives us an opportunity to meet with Edelweiss. In this comeback activity, we will do our best to meet you in a variety of ways.

Kairi: I think many people find comfort and strength through music. I hope the music that comes to mind when you want to gain strength through this comeback activity becomes TFN.

**Q. A word to the fans.**

Gunwoo: I think I can only say thank you all the time. I will work hard in this promotion to live up to the love Edelweiss, so please stay tuned.

Kevin: This 'BEFORE SUNRSIE Part. We will repay you with a good stage in 4' activities. We will work hard to repay the love from our fans. I love you and thank you always.

Kio: Edelweiss! Again, I worked hard to show a good image. I will come back with a better image than before, so please support me a lot.

Kairi: We prepared really hard for this album! We hope that fans will join us in this activity that marks the end and beginning of TFN! Please look forward to it as I will show you how much I have improved as much as you have been looking forward to and cheering me on. I love Edelweiss.
