About
8eight (에이트) is a three member group consisting of three members: Lee Hyun (Leader/Male Vocal), Baek Chan (Rapper/Male Vocal), and Joo Hee (Female Vocal). 8eight were the winners of MBC's Show Survival (쇼바이벌), kind of like the show American Idol, making their official debut on August 25, 2007 on MBC’s Show! Music Core. With their strong vocal talents and R&B/soul music style, 8eight has been compared to be the Korean Black Eyed Peas. For those who are curious, 8eight means infinity if turned to the side > “∞”. 8eight do what they do best and love most, and that is singing. 8eight hopes that their music will last for infinity and that it touches their fans and others.

Wow their English is pretty good in "Somewhere over the Rainbow". They have nice, strong voices too. But why are they called 8eight?

Wow. Their harmonies are amazing. Each of them is very talented by themselves, and their voices fit together so perfectly. Their english is quite good too. Hopefully they make it big, they definitely deserve it.

EDIT: I was on youtube, and I found this vid.

It's them goofing off, Lee Hyun beat boxes while Baek Chan raps to Snoop Dogg's "Drop it Like It's Hot". I found it quite entertaining, it's cute how Baek Chan tries. & there are a few glimpes of K.Will too helping out hahaha.

I've always heard of the group on Showvival. But I haven't watched it yet. But if they won it with those judges I saw, they must be pretty good. Going to give a shot listening to their music tomorrow.

Whoa. I'm pretty amazed with Chan's rapping because, usually, rappers of groups can't rap. sleep.gif

One of the most talented groups of 2007.

And like most said, their English is really good. Is one or two of them from America?
