Get ready, Carats! SEVENTEEN unit V8, made up of The8 and Vernon, is gearing up to drop their first mini-album, 'V8,' and they're kicking things off with a bang! According to Electronic Times, the duo will host an exclusive DJ pre-listening party on June 28 in Seoul, just one day before the album's official release on June 29.
Get Ready to Groove with V8
The pre-listening event, described as a DJ party, promises to be more than just a simple listen. It's designed to offer fans a vibrant and immersive experience. The8 previously shared his vision for the event on the web variety show 'Salon Drip,' stating, "I wanted to give the audience an experience where they could truly feel the DJing culture," as reported by Electronic Times.
The party will take place at Grainhouse in Itaewon-dong, Yongsan-gu, Seoul. This unique format highlights The8 and Vernon's deep interest in electronic music, which has been a driving force behind their collaboration.
V8: A Deep Dive into Youth and Growth
The8 and Vernon have poured their creative energy into 'V8,' actively participating in every stage of the album's production. Electronic Times reports that their involvement spanned lyrics, composition, mixing, and even visual art. They collaborated with both domestic and international artists to craft a contemporary sound, drawing on their shared passion for electronic music.
The album itself explores profound themes centered around "consumed youth," delving into concepts of wandering, confusion, recovery, and growth. The unit name 'V8' is also thoughtfully crafted, combining Vernon's initial 'V' with the Chinese character for The8's number '8' (八), forming the character for 'person' (人), as detailed by Electronic Times. This artistic depth and hands-on approach promise an album that's not just musically engaging but also rich in meaning.
