Youth, in All Its Beautiful Chaos
Rising K-pop boy group 8TURN (Jaeyun, Myungho, Minho, Yoonsung, Haemin, Kyungmin, Yungyu, Seungheon) is turning up the emotional volume. On July 6, the group dropped the mood film for their upcoming second single, Electric Heart : 찬란하게 빛날 (Brilliantly Shining), giving fans a cinematic first look at their next chapter.
Moody Vibes and Cinematic Feels
Set against contrasting scenes of golden sunlight and moody shadows, the video plays out like a mini indie film. The members are seen radiating youth in one moment and drenched in emotional turmoil the next. Let’s just say, it’s the kind of visual storytelling that makes you want to write poetry in your Notes app at 2am.
With subtle expressions and raw glances, 8TURN captures the conflicting emotions of growing up—hope, confusion, joy, and a dash of existential dread. It’s a visual metaphor for what every twenty-something knows too well: youth is a wild ride.
New Chapter of the ‘Youth Series’
Electric Heart kicks off what the group is calling their “Youth Series”—a concept album arc tracing the radiant highs and chaotic lows of young adulthood. According to MNH Entertainment, the album will reflect the journey of modern youth: the anxiety of not knowing what’s next, and the courage to take the next step anyway.
“Even in moments when you can’t see the path forward, taking just one more step can make tomorrow brighter,” says the underlying message of the album. Emotional much? We’re here for it.
Comeback Incoming
8TURN, known for their sleek Gen Z energy and genre-fluid sound, is no stranger to bold concepts. Their debut boasted confidence and groovy hooks, but Electric Heart promises a deeper dive into emotional storytelling.
Mark your calendars—the single drops on July 21 at 6 PM KST via major digital platforms. Judging from this glimpse, we’re expecting an earworm laced with introspection and just the right amount of drama.
