8TURN Is Back—And They’ve Evolved
Get ready, TURNINGs! Emerging K-pop boy group 8TURN is set to drop their second single, Electric Heart: 찬란하게 빛날 (Electric Heart: Shine Brightly), on August 21. This marks their first return since wrapping up a globe-trotting world tour across North America and Europe—and the concept? Emotional, mature, and metaphorically glowing.
Butterflies, Growth, and a Visual Story
The teaser video for Electric Heart features a dreamy black-and-white sketch sequence, personally illustrated by member Yoonkyu. The visuals follow a butterfly’s metamorphosis, symbolizing the group’s journey from freshmen idols to seasoned performers. From cocoons to full-blown flight, it’s a poetic nod to their evolution.
Countdown to Comeback
The schedule is packed with content to fuel your hype. Starting July 29, 8TURN will unveil concept photos, a mood film, a full tracklist, highlight medley, and not one but two music video teasers dropping on August 14 and 20.
The group’s label, MNH Entertainment, confirmed that these staggered releases aim to build a layered story leading up to the album’s launch. And fans are already decoding every cryptic butterfly wing and lyric hint.
From Retro Swag to Reflective Pop
This single follows LEGGO, their March release that channeled early 2000s hip-hop swagger with Gen Z realness. With Electric Heart, the tone sounds more introspective. Think less neon graffiti, more soft glimmering lights—without losing 8TURN’s edge.
They’ve also got a new kind of stage presence now, thanks to performing in 12 North American cities and 7 European stops on their first world tour. Translation? More confidence, more global flavor, and a deeper connection with fans—all set to shine through in this new release.
What’s Next?
All teaser content for Electric Heart will be shared sequentially via 8TURN’s official SNS channels, so stay tuned for each drop. One thing’s for sure: This comeback isn’t just another release—it’s a milestone in their growth as true artists.
Mark your calendars for August 21. Because 8TURN’s heart is electric—and it’s about to light up the stage.
