8Eight Sings “Heartbreaker” and Performs “Butt Dance”
allkpop reported of 8Eight's appearance in SBS 'Kim Jung Eun's Chocolate' in early October. Finally, clips of their performance on the variety show were released, showcasing not only the pop group's obvious singing abilities, but their dancing skills and voice impersonation as well.
The trio performed a live performance of a song medley that consisted of "My Bittersweet City" from the OST of Korean drama "My Bittersweet City," "What Kind of Love is This," "Without A Heart," "I Sing, Having Lost Love," and "No One" by Alicia Keys. Their transition from one song to the next blended effortlessly and were just as smooth as their powerhouse vocals. While they moved hearts with their slow-tempo ballad songs, 8Eight really worked the crowd with their last number as the audience joined them by waving their hands and singing along to Alicia Keys' "No One."
The male members of the group also sang the chorus of G-Dragon's chart-topping track, "Heartbreaker." What was surprising about this performance, in particular, was Lee Hyun's impersonation of the legendary singer Park Hyo Shin incorporated into the song. Viewers were both fascinated and amused by how closely his imitation resembled to the deep, husky voice of one of Korea's greatest artists. Furthermore, Joohee revealed her dancing skills that is seldom shown to the public through KARA's popular "butt dance."
Finally, Lee Hyun performed his solo song "30 Minutes Ago," accompanied by his fellow member as the female vocals at the beginning. In the past, singers like Jewelry's Park Jung Ah and KARA's Seungyeon have been featured in the song. However, the two vocalists testify to the group's enchanting chemistry on stage as they deliver the best duet of "30 Minutes Ago", by far.
