Afterwards, the group exchanged their sentiments about the comeback and mentioned how well they've been preparing for the comeback since their last mini-album “Follow.”
“We were excited as much as we were nervous. We've been waiting for this performance as much as Monbebe had been so we made sure we prepared well.
“It's been seven months since we made a comeback, and we've made seven fantastic songs to match the album's title 'Fantasia X,'” they said.
During the two-hour showcase, the group introduced each song and revealed details about the tracks. The mini-album features the songs “Flow,” “Fantasia,” “Zone,” “Chaotic,” “Beautiful Night,” “It Ain't Over,” and “Stand Up.”
They also spoke about how the title track music video came to be, including Kihyun praising leader Shownu for oozing sexiness in one of the scenes.
Kihyun said, “He was wearing a white shirt and he was sitting like this in the scene.
“I watched the whole filming from start to finish and when Shownu hyung was filming, I immediately thought, 'Wow! So that is what adult sexy is.' I realized then that I'm not as sexy as he is.
“To be honest, I really wanted more of that scene to be shown in the music video. But if you watch that part carefully, you'll be able to feel Shownu's sexiness.”
