They may have a perfectly pop name(8eight means infinity if you turn it sideways., but newcomer group trio has plenty of talent to back them up. Formed by leader Lee Hyun, rapper Baek Chan, and female vocalist Joo Hee, 8eight emerged as the winner of MBC’s Show Vival, a reality show that pitted Korea’s newcomers against each other in a survival-of-the-strongest singing competition. The group’s stage presence, vocal talents, and R&B/soul musical style have earned them comparisons to Black Eyed Peas.

8eight thread<3

I love 8eight! Their music is really good! ^^ I love their voices! One of them has kinda husky voice xD BEP of Korea indeed. hahah.

I love their album! I listened to their album on repeat nonstop the first couple weeks I got it.
Track 8 is definitely my favorite

madelyn93
i kno ay, if you go into crunchyroll you can read some of the comments about their name i rekon 8ight spelt like that looks better tho

lee hyun voice kinda sounds like rain

rain bow
i cant tell them apart. *shoots self* i used to think it was spelled 8ight. it hink that looks weird though. they should promote 8eight more. they have songs in the top 10 charts, but its so hard to find information on 8eight

madelyn93
really i thnk 8ight looks better than 8eight, for some reason i thought they were called Seight from afar the 8 kinda looks like a 's'
i agree they should promote them more
yeah i kno i was trying to look up information about them couldnt find anything, i wanted to kno their age but now i kno thats to you =]

i dont really get how their the next black eye peas =S

rain bow
this thread is like my 23234234 thread to update so i doubt i'll be updating often. haha
i dont get that either. maybe its the two guys one girl thing? and that one sings, one raps?

Haha. I think 8eight looks better to me. Lol!!
Anyway, i think they're labelled as Korea's BEP as their music sound pretty much alike. The beats i mean. And, yeah, maybe like what madelyn93 said, 2 guys 1 girl thing. Hahaha.

madelyn93
wow you have 23234234 thread thats sooo much i'll probs also lose track in updating them
i always thought that there were more member in black eye peas

STUPIDFACTORY
haha i like 8ight better
yeah i also thought that their forget about love and sing kinda sounds like black eye peas where is the love, theres another song dont know whats its called it sounds like a p diddy song

i love 8eight's video 'forget about love and sing'....!! i just think they're awesome!!

KIM DONG WOOK STARS IN THEIR MV "FORGET ABOUT LOVE AND SING"??? how come i never knew that? i should be more alert ><

i really love lee hyun's voice it reminded me of Hwanhee's voice a little. But they're awesome, i loved number 9 on their album...too cute!

GREAT SONGS they have..its so upbeat and catchy..LOOVE THEM

8eight has been remaking a lot of songs lately...
andy's solo single and music is my life(retitled i hear memories), for one.

i know ay, most of their songs are remakes

OST for hansel and gretel
what is this song called?? it features wondergirls
this song sounds like a p diddy song or this is a remake too?? its nice though

^ its called sa i, which means between

its actually the first song i ever heard of them, and it helped me in my korean exam too! they were asking for directions. haha

this band first caught my attention cz of their name xD so many bands with a number 8eight. their song is actually quite addictive lol sounds similar to the music genre of the black eyed peas.

8Eight to have their First Theater Concert
21 Sep 2009

It has been announced that gender-mixed group 8Eight will have their first theater stage performance called "Maximize Level" to feature their third and latest album, "Golden Age"! For three days, from October 9th to the 11th, the group will have their concert at the Seoul DaeChiDong KT&G Sang Sang Art Hall. 8Eight will participate in the Sang Sang Relay Concert along with artists Park Hye Kyung, Go Yoo Jin, and Wax.

Leader of the pack, Lee Hyun, has expressed that this concert will show a different and more lively 8Eight, overflowing with energy. He has also revealed that they will perform their usual emotional ballads, but on top of that, have been preparing for a more dynamic and vibrant feel.



On a side note, although 8Eight's first theater concert "Maximize Level" has not had much publicity, the ticket sales say otherwise. Good for them!
