Seventeen members Vernon and THE 8 launch V8 unit

Overview

Seventeen members Vernon and THE 8 have launched a new musical unit titled ‘V8’. The project features a mini album of eight tracks written and composed primarily by the duo, incorporating English, Korean, and Chinese lyrics.

In discussions regarding the release, Vernon noted the sonic evolution of K-pop, suggesting it is increasingly difficult to differentiate from American pop due to highly skilled producers. He described the V8 project as leaning into hyperpop influences, with the lead single ‘Singasong’ featuring choreography inspired by the shuffling style popularized by LMFAO.

The album explores various genres, including European electronic and house music, and includes collaborations with producers such as Pharrell Williams and Mechatok. THE 8 and Vernon described the collaboration as a significant experience in teamwork and creative decision-making.
