Vernon releases official film for 'MIA'... capturing his growth from childhood to artist




Vernon of Seventeen’s unit V8 (The Eight, Vernon) has released the official film for his solo song ″Mia.″ The song has been praised for its autobiographical story and sincere lyrics, enhancing its completeness.
The official film for ″Mia″ was released on the 8th through V8’s official SNS. The video begins with the voices of Vernon’s parents calling his real name, ″Hansol,″ and captures Vernon’s childhood from infancy to a playful boyhood set to a lively rhythm. The process of expanding his own musical world with innocent curiosity blends with the song’s bright and energetic atmosphere.
In the latter part, the growth process as a member of Seventeen is depicted. The playful boy transforming into an artist with responsibility and seriousness delivers a deep resonance along with the heartfelt lyrics. Vernon has often stated, ″The greatest sources of inspiration are undoubtedly Seventeen and Carats (the fandom name).″
Producers Kirara, Han Jung-in, and Robb Roy participated in this song. Vernon’s honest concerns are expressed over intuitive and addictive lead sounds and powerful beats. The collaboration with Kirara, a two-time winner of the Korean Music Awards, was also realized.
″Mia″ received praise from various foreign media immediately after its release. Vogue Singapore described it as ″a song with a special three-dimensionality in that it offers a glimpse into Vernon’s honest inner self.″
V8 will hold the ″2026 Vernon The Eight [V8] Live″ concert at KINTEX Exhibition Hall 1, Hall 1, in Goyang-si, Gyeonggi-do on the 11th and 12th. They will continue their performances from the 17th to the 19th at AsiaWorld-Expo Hall 10 in Hong Kong.
