THE9 picking their leader before debut:

 

Ah! Thank you for using the videos I provided! I didn't know how to make a new thread as cohesive as many others around here, so, I just figured to keep posting in the Youth with You thread!

Here's the performance for "Hunt" [where those red and black outfits come from] (granted with crappy mics and cameraman)

Here are two different sets of waist-up shots to choose for the opening post.

The promotional images for their game collaboration are stunning! As is the Official Website in which they are prominently featured and if you click on the button with their name, it takes you to a completely different part of the website strictly dedicated to them and what they do for the game.

 

The9. Straight Outta Minas Morgul.

For some reason, I couldn't find them by searching either Sphinx or THE9. I put the Chinese title of the EP into the search bar and that finally took me to the actual group (斯芬克斯X谜).

These girls were made for variety. They have a lot of the chaos and carefree funniness that I loved on early AKBINGO lol, my type of idols.
