MNH Entertainment, home to solo artist Chungha, will debut its first boy band 8TURN later this month, the agency said Monday.

The band will have eight members: Myungho, Jaeyun, Minho, Yoonsung, Haemin, Kyungmin, Yungyu and Seungcheon.

"The name of the band means that it is the eight members' turn to lead the K-pop scene with their infinite potential," MNH Entertainment said in a statement.

The details, such as concept of the first music or date of release, will follow soon, the agency said.

Founded in 2014, MNH Entertainment is home to solo singer Chungha. Girl group BVNDIT debuted in 2019 but disbanded last October.
