Seventeen's V8 Masterfully Executes Challenges, from ILLIT to Le Sserafim

Seventeen's unit V8 is maintaining active momentum by filming challenge videos with a diverse range of fellow artists. Starting in the practice room, the challenges have expanded to music show waiting rooms and live venues, showcasing various sides of the group. This Archive Challenge Special video offers fans a fresh experience, capturing everything from the members' practice sessions to their playful chemistry with fellow singers.

Challenge Fever Spans Diverse Genres and Artists

The8 from V8 showcased his unique musical taste while preparing for ILLIT's 'It's Me' challenge. The8 expressed his affection for the track, noting his personal fondness for the techno genre. Mentioning that techno elements also appear in their own unit song, he was seen naturally creating a remixed choreography to match ILLIT's track. During the process, The8 appeared slightly overwhelmed by some of the cuter movements, but he fully immersed himself in the shoot, driven by a shared musical connection.

Ji-hoon and HBN from TWS formed a friendly bond through their common ground of being from Hongdae. Ji-hoon expressed his excitement, mentioning that he thought the V8 posters looked cool while filming content in the Hongdae area recently. Noting that the area is his own neighborhood, Ji-hoon engaged in natural conversation with the V8 members. Although there was still a hint of slight awkwardness, Ji-hoon showed his passion by saying, "I'll try my best to do it quickly," while the V8 members encouraged his choreography, completing the shoot in a warm and friendly atmosphere.

Huh Yunjin and Kazuha of Le Sserafim joined the shoot by matching V8's signature poses. The members were suggested poses that captured the "V8 cylinder" vibe, a symbol of the unit. Huh Yunjin showed her quick ability to catch the feel of the choreography, mentioning that she frequently watches shuffle dance videos. Huh Yunjin and Kazuha added energy to the video by perfectly pulling off V8's poses.

A Record Spanning from Practice Rooms to Music Show Sets

In the June 2026 shoot with Martin and Juhoon of Cortis, the meticulous process of coordinating movement was captured. The8 took the lead in organizing the formation, giving specific directions such as "in front, in back, everyone gather" to ensure the members could come together naturally. In particular, Vernon added liveliness to the scene by asking the taller Martin for help to film the intro of the challenge from a high angle. Martin and Juhoon praised V8's song, saying, "The song is so cool," and expressed their anticipation for the track scheduled for release on June 29, cheering each other on. Just before the shoot, all Seventeen members and staff gathered to match the beat and complete the 'singasong' challenge together.

Minami and Jena of Rescene worked closely to synchronize the angles of the choreography and the ending moves. Vernon led the shoot by providing detailed guidance on diagonal movements and 45-to-90-degree angles. Notably, Vernon suggested using Rescene's 'LOVE ATTACK' choreography for the ending, concluding the shoot with a playful moment where Seventeen and Rescene shouted "Yahoo!" together. In this way, V8 continues its unstoppable challenge streak, from serious preparations in the practice room to joyful interactions with colleagues.
