Kpopmap Fan Interview: A Filipino i.ENIN Talks About Her Favorite Group NINE.i & Why She Loves Them

Are you also curious about fellow K-Pop fans?! Let’s hear their stories and interests in Kpopmap Fan Interview Project.

There are K-Pop fans across the globe who share the same passion. But on online platforms, it is hard to know about each other’ stories and K-Pop life. Even if we are in the same fandom, it is hard to get to know each other.

So at Kpopmap, we started the Kpopmap Fan Interview Project to get to know more about K-Pop fans from different countries: more about their K-Pop life and tastes and to give them the opportunity to share with our readers about their favorite group(s) and bias.

 

Cia from the Philippines is the next fan to answer our questions. She is a fan of NINE.i. Check out how she entered the fandom, the songs and content she advises to new fans, and much more!

Can you introduce yourself? Where are you from?

Hi, I am Cia and I am from the Philippines.

 

How and when did you enter the fandom?

I’ve been a fan of Kim JungWoo/Vahn since “Under Nineteen”, and whenever I hear about a new group that is about to make their debut, I always check them out. Then I saw NINE.i’s Vahn also posted on his Instagram account that he is going to debut, so I checked them out right away and fell in love with the other members as well.

 

What are the reasons why this rookie group is your favorite group?

Although they have only recently made their debut, I can already tell that they have a strong bond and they are talented, attractive, and feels at home.

 

What do you think differentiates this rookie group from the others?

From the music they bring. Every rookie group has its own color, but when it comes to NINE.i…it’s just so satisfying and I can’t totally explain it.

 

For the readers who are completely new to the group and members, can you introduce them with your own words?

You must stan NINE.i because they are a group that can make you happy or sad with their music. Each member of the group has their own charms.

 

Who caught your attention at first and why? Did you know any members prior to their debut?

Vahn… he’s so cool.
Vahn and JeWon, they both joined survival shows and they caught my attention first. Vahn is an all arounder and JeWon is leader material.

 

Do you have a bias yet? If yes, tell us why.

It’s so hard to choose.

 

What do you particularly like in this debut title track? Do you have a favorite B-side?

As soon as I heard their debut song, I fell in love. It was made even more special by the fact that Vahn and JooHyoung contributed to writing the lyrics. For the B-side, I love ‘Wasted Youth’ the most.

 

 

Can you recommend a fancam, V Live, cover video, cover dance, or other from your favorite group or bias?

The JeWon bonk video??

 

 

What type of concept do you prefer?

CUTE!!

 

Can you describe your bias in only one word?

✨ Genius ✨

 

If your bias were to collab with another idol, who do you think would be the best?

Big Naughty, both make great music and I think their voice will perfectly match.

 

What are the things you are looking for in their future activities?

Guesting and variety shows. I think it would be fun if they could have their own variety show.

Thank you for answering our questions, Cia.
