In 30 seconds: 8TURN

The official channel keeps a fixed-view choreography cut, a more expressive performance cut and a live clip for the same song, so TIC TAC, EXCEL, RU-PUM PUM and LEGGO can each be watched several ways.

A good pick if you like comparing different camera treatments of one routine.

KPOP DISCOVER's 8TURN note

8TURN show their real quality less through the music videos alone than once you go on to the Choreography Videos. Eight of them swap the centre and use width and depth to look like a single mass, so the closer the footage sits to a fixed viewpoint, the more the fineness of the formation comes across.

For releases, take the early three stages through TIC TAC, EXCEL and RU-PUM PUM, then line up LEGGO, Electric Heart, BRUISE and Stagefright after them. The bright forward drive stays, while the weight of the sound and the intensity of the expressions have been raised.

Editors' take The more the music videos and the Choreography Videos are watched as a pair, the clearer the design built on having 8 people becomes.

Japan activity score

KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 159/ 210 groups

No. 159 of 210 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 76%)

  • 1Japanese releases
  • 1Japan-related tracks
  • 0Members from Japan
  • 1Official Japanese accounts

The denominator is the 210 groups, out of 525 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
