KPOP Bestie, the place where KPOP memories are made and Koreatown's one-stop-shop for all your K-Pop needs, wrapped up their summer events as they hosted an unforgettable fan sign event with NTX. The atmosphere was electric as NTFUL of all backgrounds lined up to check in, while the members took their seats at the tables. And the fun didn't stop there! Some members even started drawing caricatures to welcome NTFUL, engaging in conversations and creating memorable moments. Yunhyeok's self-portrait exuded excitement for meeting fans and their upcoming debut concert, while Eunho drew the beloved anime character, Doraemon.

Before the fan sign commenced, K Fuse was honored at the opportunity to sit down with the members for a brief interview.
Hello, my name is Britney, and I am with K Fuse. I first just want to say thank you for taking the time to sit down with me and sharing your story with our readers:
NTX: Hi, nice to meet you! Thank you for the interview.
With cheerful greetings and introductions, the members were bursting with excitement to open up about their experiences with NTFUL. Let's dive into what they had to say about their U.S. debut performance, music, and dreams for the future!
K Fuse: You made your debut in March 2021, In what ways do you feel NTX has grown since debut?
Yunhyeok: You know 'Peak Time?' That was our motivation, and it marked the turning point in our journey
Jaemin: I think NTX has been consistently practicing in the process of preparing for
performances, and our passion hasn't diminished, so I believe our dedication to perfecting our performances remains unchanged. However, one thing that has improved is our ability to
showcase our individual charms on stage. I think more members are starting to express their
own colors, and in that sense, I believe we've really grown.
When asked about who some of their biggest or influences were, while ATEEZ, and other artists were mentioned, it was almost a unanimous decision that Big Bang has been the group's biggest influence where Rawhyun elaborated on his own personal experience.
"Big Bang. Watching many of their performances, I've often thought about wanting to learn their stage presence, and I've learned a lot by monitoring their performances."
However, Changhun took everyone by surprise when giving his honest and heartfelt response to the question,
"My members."
What an absolutely heartwarming response that not only brought a few chuckles but also revealed the undeniable truth in Changun's statement! This fantastic group of eight members is simply unbreakable, constantly lifting each other up with unwavering encouragement and unconditional support. Their bond is truly something special!
K Fuse: You're scheduled to make your U.S. debut tomorrow in LA! Congratulations! Can you tell us a little about how you're feeling about your upcoming performance?

Don't worry East Coast NTFUL, we didn't forget you! Through short conversation, we were sure to mention that our side of the U.S. is full of NTFUL who are patiently waiting for NTX to embark on a tour in our direction. While the group was grateful and excited to know of NTFUL on the East Coast, Rawhyun was ready to take on the challenge as he exclaimed,
"We'll show you!"
