The8, a member of the group Seventeen, will appear on Mnet's "Boys 2 Planet." On September 4th, HYBE Music Group label Pledis Entertainment announced that The8 will appear as the fourth Planet Master on "Boys 2 Planet," which will air at 9:20 PM that day. It is known that The8 provided advice and encouragement to the participants during a pre-recording session ahead of the third mission, the "Debut Concept Battle Mission."

"Boys 2 Planet" is a program that invites senior artists who serve as growth role models for the participants. Alongside Seventeen's group activities, The8 has proven his musical abilities by releasing various solo songs such as "Skyfall (THE 8 Solo)." Last year, he released his first Chinese EP, "STARDUST," and solidified his position as a singer-songwriter by being credited on all tracks.

This year, The8 appeared as a producer and judge on Tencent Video's "CHUANG ASIA Season 2" and "Let Me Sing!" respectively. Through these activities, he demonstrated his presence as a veteran artist. His self-composed song "Star Crossing Night (feat. GALI)," released last month, ranked number one on QQ Music's Hot Trend Chart and three Tencent Music charts immediately after its release. The song also received a positive response by ranking on the iTunes Worldwide Song chart.

The8 will headline the large-scale music festival "YJ music festival," held in Beijing, China, on the 21st. This will be his first time performing on a festival stage as a solo artist. Approximately 60,000 spectators are expected to attend the two-day event starting on the 20th. The8's active activities are attracting great attention among K-pop fans, and his musical growth is expected to continue.
