Members of LUN8 revealed that they dreamed of becoming idols while watching BTS, EXO, and Astro.
On the 15th, the Lunate debut showcase was held at Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjang-dong, Gwangjin-gu, Seoul.
Runate is a boy group introduced by entertainment agency Fantagio after 7 years since Astro. It consists of 8 multinational members: Jinsu, Kael, Takuma, Junwoo, Dohyeon, Ian, Ji Eunho, and Eunseop. The group name Lunate means 8 boys who embrace the moonlight that brightens the dark night.
When asked why he had the dream of becoming an idol, Takuma said, "It was while going to a BTS senior's concert. After seeing the stage called 'Not Today', I thought I wanted to become a person who shines on stage." Ji Eun-ho picked NCT Mark as his role model and said, "The unique hip-hop feeling is cool, so I tried to imitate him." Eunseop said, "My role model is senior Yoon Sanha of Astro. The way he played the guitar and sang acoustic songs was cool, and I thought I wanted to do that as well." Kael said, "When I was in elementary school, I dreamed of becoming an idol after watching EXO's MAMA stage."
The first mini-album they present is 'CONTINUE?'. Even if you lose the game, 'Continue?' Just like pressing a button to restart, Lunate also has a will to challenge without giving up on anything.
Runate will promote with the double title songs 'Voyager' and 'Wild Heart'. 'Wild Heart' is a song that catches the ears with cheerful whistling sound and rhythmic drum sound. 'Voyager' is a lo-fi pop punk genre song with a dreamy synth riff and a refreshing electric guitar sound.
Lunate's first mini-album 'CONTINUE?' will be released on the 15th at 6pm on each online music site.
