8eight of ‘Without a Heart’, Returns with Romanticism
The co-ed trio 8eight who swept away 2009 with ‘Without a Heart’ returns with romanticism that penetrates one’s sensibility. Vocalist leader Lee Hyun’s ardent appeal, the only female member Joo Hee’s shining presence on stage and rapper Baek Chan’s harmonizing force that brings together the two vocals, return with their ever more mature music.

8eight’s signature ballad ‘Separation is Coming’ carries the legacy of ‘Without a Heart’
Producer Bang Si-hyuk and 8eight who have touched the hearts of music fans with ballad songs such as ‘Without a Heart’ and ‘Goodbye My Lover’, released another masterpiece, 'Farewell is Coming.’ Bang Si-hyuk calls this song an evolving ballad, while 8eight dubs it as the completion of 8eight’s signature ballad. 'Farewell is Coming’ is a unique song that takes a different turn from the conventional rules of ballad songs. The beginning of the song where two lovers facing separation are expressing their sadness and despair in low chanting, resembles a dialogue in a play The rapping part that visually portrays the space where the parting unfolds adds a sense of reality to the song. 8eight’s delicate yet piercing vocals deliver the inevitable sadness of separation. The conversation in the beginning repeats itself after the last chorus, reaching the climax of the song.

2PM Nichkhun’s tears of an angel
8ight, who brought So Hee of Wonder Girls, Lee Hyori and Kim Tae-hee to tears, have now made Nichkhun cry. Nichkhun stars in the 'Farewell is Coming’ music video as a soul that holds sadness. Nichkhun shows the pain of someone who incapable of doing anything but just look at his lover left alone. His deep, sad-stricken eyes were perfect for expressing the lyricism of 'Farewell is Coming.’ Nichkhun portrayed as an angel through 3D graphics has also attracted spotlight. Nichkhun, who has captured the hearts of many with his pure smile, is set to show his new sides in the music video of 'Farewell is Coming'.

The climax of romanticism that alludes to a dreamlike relationship, a sentiment that reminds one of a love triangle
8eight, returning with the brand new ballad ‘Farewell is Coming,’ has come with enhanced visuals. JooHee of 8eight, who boasts a delicate yet mature beauty, has come with romanticism that is the latest trend in culture. The dreamy yet natural jacket cover photo captures everyone's attention. The cover presents Lee Hyun, Joo Hee, and Baek Chan in a close position that is reminiscent of the disintegrating love triangle from the French movie [The Dreamers].
