Dawon of the newly debuted FNC Entertainment idol group SF9 already knows which idol footsteps he wants to follow.

At SF9's debut showcase on October 5, Dawon expressed, "My role models are Big Bang's G-Dragon, Super Junior's Leeteuk, and ZE:A's Kwanghee sunbaenims. I look up to them as artists a lot, and I really want to be like them and feature on a lot of variety shows too."

Those are some hard acts to follow! Don't you think?

Dawon along with Youngbin, Insung, Jaeyoon, Rowoon, Jooho, Taeyang, Hwiyoung, and Chanhwi debuted as SF9 with their debut single album 'Feeling Sensation' this week. Check out the MV for their debut title track "Fanfare" if you missed it!

Wow, that's the first time I've ever heard of Kwanghee being looked up to... at least first time hearing the admiration vocalized... proud of Kwanghee, he's finally making a name for himself... after 6.5 years he's finally being admired rather than just being known for a plastic face

Yes, he has come a looooong way and he definitely started with a serious disadvantage (Star Empire). It's honestly quite admirable.

Everyone from StarEmpire can be considered an underdog... considering their company's idea of promotion is kicking them out onto the streets and making them busk...

I like him already. I want kwanghee's variety skills, Gd's rap skills and Leetuek's Mc/humor/leadership skills!

Smart boy! Idols who find success in variety shows tend to stay on top of public minds long past their idol status.

Why wouldn't someone look up to Kwanghee? He's very sucessful as a variety-dol. He's MCd for many big idol events like ISAC and Inkigayo. I'm sure there's a lot of idols who look up to or at least know of Kwanghee.

Seriously. He's on the #1 show in the nation, he's reportedly the top earner in his company, and he's the ambassador for the Korean Red Cross and all after debuting from one of the crappiest agencies around.
