Boy band 8TURN to drop new single in July

Boy band 8TURN will return with its third single "8.X" in July, agency MNH Entertainment said on Sunday. 

The boy band released a short clip on its YouTube channel on Saturday, teasing the band's upcoming single alongside a so-called album symbol. 

"The album symbol will be used as a key element in the future content releases," the band's agency said Sunday. "It symbolizes the start of a new series." 

The upcoming single will be the band's first Korean release since the digital single "Bruise" released in January. The band previously dropped its second single, "Electric Heart," in August. 

8TURN also held its fan concert "Turn Table: Eternal Flame" in March and is expected to kick off its European tour in September, performing in Cologne and Berlin in Germany, Helsinki in Finland, Paris, London, Amsterdam, Copenhagen and in Warsaw, Poland. 

The boy band will also perform in the Americas in October. 

8TURN debuted as an eight-member boy band in 2023 with its first EP "8TURNRISE." The band released three total EPs, including "Uncharted Drift" (2023) and "Stunning" (2024).
