Right as autumn began, 8TURN brought the heat back to Amsterdam on Wednesday, September 23, 2026, for their second world tour [TRACE]. 8TURN is a dynamic eight-member South Korean boy group celebrated for their powerhouse choreography and infectious stage presence. Composed of Jaeyun, Myungho, Minho, Yoonsung, Haemin, Kyungmin, Yungyu, and Seungheon, the group never fails to leave a lasting impression on stage.

The Netherlands welcomed the group with beautifully clear weather to kick off the season. The excitement in the city had already peaked the day before when the members visited the local K-pop store Hey!Hallyu for an incredibly successful fan event.

“Electric” Performances

From the opening note, the group tore through a stacked setlist featuring explosive

performances of songs such as "BRUISE," "WALK IT OUT," "TIC TAC," "WONDER," "8PM," "Like A Friend," “ELECTRIC HEART" and "STAGEFRIGHT", and our absolute personal favorite of the night, "Heartache." A major highlight of the evening was the live performance of their latest song, "Besame," which Jaeyun thoughtfully wrote specifically for their fandom, TURNING.

Nostalgic Cover Stages

The crowd was treated to a series of spectacular cover songs that kept the adrenaline high. 8TURN delivered a stylish performance of "FaSHioN" by Cortis and a definitely spicy rendition of ATEEZ's "BOUNCY." When the beat dropped for BIGBANG's "BANG BANG BANG," the venue erupted. For fans who had just finished attending recent BIGBANG concerts or Music Bank Barcelona, these covers provided a brilliant, thrilling wave of post-concert deja vu and pure enjoyment.

Connecting with TURNING

The night wasn't just about the music; it was heavily focused on fan interaction. Between fantastic solo and unit stages, the members played interactive games with the crowd. A standout segment involved spinning a challenge wheel, which resulted in Haemin having to deliver some adorable aegyo and Kyungmin playfully spilling some behind-the-scenes tea about the rest of the group.

When the members asked the audience what they absolutely had to try while in The Netherlands, the local crowd did not disappoint, shouting out essential Dutch treats like fries, stroopwafels, and poffertjes.

A Perfect Encore

The unforgettable night wrapped up with energetic encore songs and, of course, a lovely group photo to capture the milestone. Afterwards, many TURNING stayed behind to take selfies with the members, securing tangible memories of an incredible night.

We hope to see 8TURN back in The Netherlands again soon. Let’s continue to show 8TURN lots of love in Europe and keep an eye out for Kooky’s platforms for more exciting tours!
