On May 11th KST, Seventeen unit V8, the duo project featuring Vernon and The8, released the teaser video “RATS NEST / Wasted Youth” for their upcoming first mini-album, “V8,” on June 11.

The upcoming album “V8” explores themes of wandering, confusion, and the moments of recovery and growth that arise from those experiences. Framed through the concept of “wasted youth,” the album reflects on time passed and emotional landscapes.

Vernon and The8 have taken a leading role in the project’s production, working with international artists including Pharrell Williams, BUMZU, KIRARA, Mechatok, and Dylan Brady.

These collaborations are expected to bring a distinctive and experimental edge to the album’s sound. “V8” is scheduled for official release on June 29, with anticipation continuing to build following the teaser’s release.
