The member of the group SEVENTEEN, The8, will make a surprise appearance on Mnet's 'BOYS II PLANET'.
According to Pledis Entertainment, a label under HYBE Music Group, The8 will appear as the fourth planet master on 'BOYS II PLANET', which airs at 9:20 PM today. It is reported that during the previously recorded segment, he offered affectionate advice and encouragement to the participants ahead of the third mission, the 'Debut Concept Battle Mission'.
'BOYS II PLANET' has invited senior artists to serve as planet masters, becoming role models for the participants. The8 has proven his wide musical spectrum by showcasing various personal songs, including 'Skyfall (THE 8 Solo)', in addition to group activities with SEVENTEEN. Last year, he released his first Chinese EP 'STARDUST', where he was credited on all tracks, establishing his presence as a singer-songwriter.
Additionally, The8 has appeared as a producer and a national competition judge on Tencent Video's 'CHUANG ASIA Season 2' and 'Let Me Sing!' this year, showcasing his veteran artist qualities.
His new self-composed song 'Star Crossing Night (feat. GALI)', released last month, is also receiving a positive response. The song topped the hot trend chart on QQ Music, China's largest music platform, and ranked first on three Tencent Music charts (Uni Music Chart, Rising Chart, Trend Chart) shortly after its release, and it made it to the 'iTunes Worldwide Song' rankings.
The8 will perform as a headliner at the large music festival 'YJ (Yue Jian Chao Xiang) music festival' held in Beijing, China, on the 21st. This will be his first festival stage as a solo artist. The event, which runs from the 20th, is expected to attract around 60,000 spectators over two days.
