V8 (THE8, VERNON), the new sub-unit of the group SEVENTEEN, has increased to the maximum the expectation of the return of global fans by unveiling by surprise a part of its new song.
V8 published one after another on June 9, via the YouTube channel of HYBE LABELS and the official social networks of SEVENTEEN, the concept film teaser of “PEEK AT V8” for its first mini-album “V8” which will be released on June 29.
The staging of the video unveiled this time stands out by recalling a sensory road movie. It captures the raw and free energy of youth through unrefined visuals, and contains the unique and deep look of V8 which reinterprets even confusion and wandering as the engine of a continuous frantic race. In particular, a part of the new song, blending a dreamlike voice and the varied sounds specific to hyperpop, lifted the veil at the same time as the video, immediately captivating the ears. In this approach consisting of boldly spoiling while about 3 weeks remain before the release of the album, one can catch a glimpse of the strong confidence of V8 towards its musical quality.
The first mini-album “V8”, which will be officially released on June 29, is an album that expresses with density the moments of wandering, of confusion experienced through past time, as well as the recovery and growth found in the midst of that, under the theme of “consumed youth”. THE8 and VERNON personally directed the production of this new opus, reinforcing the identity of the group, and a large number of global artists such as PHARRELL WILLIAMS, BUMZU, KIRARA, MECHATOK, and DYLAN BRADY participated in the collaboration, raising the quality of the album yet another notch.
They who will announce a successful unit debut will continue their momentum after the release of this new opus with large-scale solo concerts. V8 will organize the solo concert “2026 VERNON THE 8 [V8] LIVE” on July 11 and 12 for two days at Hall 1 of the first exhibition center of the KINTEX in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, to meet fans there. Then, from July 17 to 19, they plan to commune closely with Asian fans at the AsiaWorld-Expo Hall 10 in Hong Kong. In particular, the Hong Kong concerts, which were initially scheduled to take place over two days, saw an additional date open up for the 17th thanks to the explosive interest and fervor of fan reservations, proving their powerful ticket attraction power as a global trend.
