8TURN is an eight-member boy group under MNH Entertainment, consisting of Jaeyun, Myungho, Minho, Yoonsung, Haemin, Kyungmin, Yungyu, and Seungheon. They debuted on January 30, 2023 with 8TURNRISE and its title track &quot;TIC TAC,&quot; introducing a performance-first rookie identity built around speed, formation work, and youthful confidence. The group&#x27;s name and presentation lean into the idea of eight members moving together while still showing individual color. Their early image is less about heavy lore and more about motion: sharp choreography, bright styling, and songs that emphasize momentum. That makes 8TURN useful to describe as a stage group first, where the members&#x27; roles become clearer through performance rather than through a long concept explanation. After debut, 8TURN continued building that identity with releases that pushed their sound toward brighter pop and more polished dance tracks. The fandom is known as TURNING. As a newer MNH boy group, 8TURN is defined by a full eight-member lineup, an energetic performance image, and a catalog still young enough that its signature is being shaped in public.
