THE8, member of the group SEVENTEEN, will perform as the headliner of a major music festival in China.
On March 24, according to PLEDIS ENTERTAINMENT, label of HYBE MUSIC GROUP, THE8 will perform solo during the last show of the “MIDOU MUSIC FESTIVAL” which will be held on May 1 and 2 in Nanjing, in Jiangsu province, China.
The “MIDOU MUSIC FESTIVAL” is a music festival that began in 2014 and celebrates its 15th edition this year. Last year, it was held in two sessions, in June and in October, attracting respectively more than 80,000 and 60,000 spectators. In particular, this event attracts many visitors coming from regions other than Jiangsu province, establishing itself as a mega-event that boosts the local tourism industry beyond a simple music festival.
THE8, member of the group SEVENTEEN, will perform as the headliner of a major music festival in China. THE8 appeared as the headliner of the “YJ MUSIC FESTIVAL” which took place in Beijing last September 21, and sparked an explosive enthusiasm by presenting not only singing and dancing, but also a DJing stage. At the time, waiting lines had formed from the previous evening to see his performance, and after the show, many keywords related to THE8 entered the real-time searches of Weibo.
The artistic capacities of THE8 are also confirmed through various contents such as his solo songs and his art films. His single “Star crossing night (feat. Gali)” published last year swept the first place of the main Chinese music charts, and his Chinese “STARDUST” album EP, for which he participated in the writing and the composition of all the songs, also received much love. Last December, he also revealed the art film of “Skyfall (remix ver.)” as part of the project “THE 8 CONTEMPORARY ART”, which expresses his emotions and his points of view through art.
