“The time has come that was truly wished for,” LUN8 declares at the starting line as they burst into the music scene with their first mini album, CONTINUE?. Like the name suggests, the group is optimistic that they can “continue” on despite any setbacks they might face. As LUN8 sets off on their journey into the music world, we asked the members for their thoughts on their two new singles as well as some song recommendations that help ignite their passion and confidence.

​“Wild Heart” (LUN8)
JIN SU: When you’re in need of energy or a little courage, just listen to this song for a boost of self-confidence!

DO HYUN: Our fans should listen to “Wild Heart” when they need a boost of confidence!

IAN: This song will give you the strength you need when it’s scorching hot, you’re really tired, or you’re in need of some energy!

JI EUN-HO: This song will invigorate an otherwise mundane day, especially with its quick tempo and strong beat!

EUN SEOP: The sound of the instruments and the whistling will make your heart swell up from the moment this song comes on. Listen as you remind yourself that LUN8 is always in your heart!

​“Voyager” (LUN8)

JIN SU: Join LUN8 as we enjoy  the liberating energy of “Voyager!”

 

CHAEL: When you want to turn it up or you’re at a party, put this song on and party as if LUN8 is there with you. 

 

TAKUMA: When you want to feel unrestricted and you’re ready to party, “Voyager” is the song to listen to!

 

JUN WOO: Make sure to listen to “Voyager” when you want to cool down this summer. I recommend listening to it when you go to the valleys or the Hangang River to escape the heat.

 

DO HYUN: “Voyager” will have you dancing on the inside.

 

IAN: The sound of the electric guitar is refreshing and reminds me of the ocean!

 

EUN SEOP: “Voyager” is perfect when you need a refreshing summer jam. It’ll make you feel close to the sea!

​“Live In The Moment” (LUN8)

JIN SU: “Live In The Moment” is a song about enjoying the present. Take your mind off the past and the future as you listen to it! 

 

CHAEL: The highlight of this song is something else. I’m recommending it because it’s good for casual everyday listening but also for when you are out on a walk or a drive.

 

TAKUMA: The message of “enjoying the present,” combined with the refreshing melody, can make your worries melt away as you listen to this song.  

 

JUN WOO: This song’s even better if you listen to it while you are on a get-away, like a vacation, and with somebody else. I feel especially happy when I hear the line that goes, “I only need one second to be happy.”

 

DO HYUN: Living in the moment is something everyone craves, so “Live In The Moment” will resonate with a lot of people! If you’re looking for a song that isn’t too loud or fast, I recommend taking a listen!

 

IAN: I’m recommending this song to our fans because I can’t get the catchy melody out of my head. :)

 

JI EUN-HO: “Live In The Moment” has lyrics filled with positivity, a catchy melody and a chill vibe, so you can enjoy it anytime, anywhere!

 

EUN SEOP: This is a nice and easy song to listen to! It’d be even better if our fans listened to it when they’re going somewhere far away, like on a drive.

​“Whenever Wherever” (Jung Seung Hwan)

JIN SU: This song reminds me of our fans every time I hear it.

​“Don’t Go” (EXO)

CHAEL: This song feels like a remedy to my wounds. It’ll bring you comfort when you’re having a bad day.

​“That’s okay” (D.O.)

TAKUMA: I listen to this song whenever I’m feeling down. It feels like D.O. is personally reaching out to comfort me. That’s why I want to recommend it to our fans too.

​“All Night” (Jordy Searcy)

JUN WOO: I feel like I’m having a pleasant dream every time I listen to this.

​“Leave Before You Love Me” (Marshmello and Jonas Brothers)
DO HYUN: I haven’t been able to stop listening to this song. It’s like a carol for summer!

“Mikrokosmos” (BTS)

IAN: This song gets me emotional whenever I hear it and puts me in a better mood.

​“Can I Love?” feat. youra, Meego (Cosmic Boy)

JI EUN-HO: This is a nice and slow R&B song. It’s just the kind of song I’m into, so I’m recommending it to our fans.

​“XX” (LUN8)

EUN SEOP: When I listen to this song, it fills me with strength I didn’t even know I had. It’s a huge boost of energy for sure!
