News of a free listening party with a new unit named SEVENTEEN V8

SEVENTEEN's new unit V8, consisting of The8 and Vernon, is reportedly planning to release their new album in a slightly unique way. Ahead of the release of their first mini-album on the 29th, they are holding a pre-listening party at Grain House in Itaewon-dong, Seoul. Since the event is said to be designed as a DJ party rather than just a gathering to listen to music, it seems it will be an unforgettable and special musical experience for the fans.

At this event, all tracks from the album, including the title track "Singasong," will be unveiled for the first time one day prior to the official release. An interesting point is that the talented producers who participated in this project have personally joined the lineup. Germany's Mekatok and Korean Music Award winner Kirara will share the stage, and with skilled DJs and producers joining forces, the atmosphere at the venue is expected to heat up even further.

In particular, given that The8 has previously been recognized for his DJing skills at major festivals in China, he reportedly plans to personally stand in front of the turntables and lead the atmosphere at this event. With this album featuring the theme of "wasted youth" and said to have been enhanced through collaborations with renowned musicians active in the global subculture scene, I am even more curious about its musical style.

Following this listening party, the excitement will continue with full-scale performances. In July, they are scheduled to present SEVENTEEN unit's first-ever standing concert at KINTEX Goyang, followed shortly by a solo concert in Hong Kong, setting up a meeting with fans from around the world. We have high expectations for how V8's journey—boldly taking on new musical challenges without fear—will further expand SEVENTEEN's musical spectrum. I am already excited to see what kind of joy their unique stage performance, their first as a unit, will bring to so many people.
