Description[]
Learn the nostalgic culture from the legends who created the era!
The members of FANTASTICS play themselves in a sitcom (situation comedy), where they learn about the culture of the 1980s and 90s directly from legendary guests.
In addition, they sing covers of classic songs from the 80s and 90s, which were popular in their first drama Mannequin Night Fever (aired from October to November 2020). The choreography of the covers is created by the members themselves, incorporating the original choreography of the time. Additionally, the unique costumes worn by the members, each with a different theme, were inspired by the fashion of the time.[6][7]
