The group 8TURN has kicked off their world tour with a successful fan meeting in Tokyo.

8TURN (Jaeyoon, Myeongho, Minho, Yunseong, Haemin, Kyungmin, Yoongyu, Seungheon) visited Tokyo, Japan on the 4th and 5th and successfully held ‘2025 8TURN FANMEETING [TURN UP] in Tokyo’.

This fan meeting consisted of unique stages and talks that showcased 8TURN‘s charms from various angles. 8TURN presented an overwhelming sense of immersion with restrained group dance and fast-paced sounds on the stage of ‘LEGGO’TIC TAC‘. Also, with stages such as ’If It’s Going to Be Like This, In the Next Life‘, ’I Want You Now‘, ’GLOW‘, the serious emotional line and immersive directing changed the mood, and 8TURN‘s musical depth was further highlighted.

The highlight of this fan meeting was a special highlight that combined stages that properly impressed 8TURN’s presence during their participation in Mnet‘s ’Road to Kingdom: ACE OF ACE‘. Special stages that reinterpreted other artists’ songs such as ’Future Perfect‘, ’LOVE DIVE‘, ’SPEED RUN‘ drew explosive cheers from fans. The stages that preserved the charm of the original songs while adding 8TURN‘s own color and perfection recreated the excitement of ’Road to Kingdom‘.

’Instead, there were moments that revealed 8TURN’s unique witty and human charm such as ’TMI recent news talk‘, ’Point out LEGGO‘, ’Line up and random dance‘. The sensational performance and sincere communication that seemed to condense 8TURN‘s various charms on stage left a deep impression not only on local fans but also on the global fandom as a whole.

The sincere messages delivered directly by the members moved the scene. 8TURN said, “We came to meet Japanese TURNING (official fandom name) after a year. Thank you for waiting, and I was so happy that I could make happy memories thanks to you,” he said, promising to continue meeting with global fans, saying, “Please wait a little longer until I return after finishing the world tour.”

8TURN plans to further expand the scope of their global activities starting with this fan meeting and accelerate preparations for their upcoming world tour. Expectations are high for 8TURN’s progress as they expand beyond Korea and around the world.

After wrapping up a three-week promotion with the fancy old hip-hop ’LEGGO‘ last month, 8TURN will begin their ’2025 8TURN 1st World Tour [8TURNRISE]‘ first concert in New York, USA on the 9th (local time), and then go on a tour of 12 cities in the Americas.
