I'm recording "Side By Side" right now
Before today's recording, I actually recorded many times with BUMZU
I met up with BUMZU 5 times before this [Today we're revising the recording]
to do some recording sessions
This song came out
about 2 weeks ago
I talked about the song and worked on it with BUMZU every day [THE 8 worked on the song everyday]
It was fun, and today we're recording the song
I'm so excited for it
Fighting!

[Listening to his recording]
Hey
-Huh? -I feel like the ending would
get too long [Developing the song while sharing opinions]
Can we cut it there?
Just a sec... About this much?
Try listening
Yes
[#Done_recording] [Listening from the beginning to the end]
[Nod nod nod]
[THE 8 feeling the rhythm]
[Finished recording "Side By Side"!]
[Today he's practicing the choreography for "Side By Side"]
I had an acting lesson earlier
I really think acting's part of what we do on stage
I think that I can act well on stage
but for this, since there are [#Different_from_the_stage / THE 8 trying out acting to a full plot]
other people around me [#Different_from_the_stage / THE 8 trying out acting to a full plot]
and I have to act near them
I feel tense and kind of embarrassed
Through this project I realized that I'm a very shy person
It is a fun experience, of course
I'm filming the M/V in two days so I'll practice for the last time today
and practice a lot by myself tomorrow
I'll work hard today so that
I can do well on the M/V shoot
[#Pair_choreography] [Chorus choreography where he has to be in sync with his partner]
[Checking the pair choreography carefully]
The base should be...
-I think you could smile a bit more -Okay
[THE 8 revising the choreography to look more natural]
And then I go and do this
Rather than this
Yeah, I want the hands to look natural
-Right? -Yeah, do something like this
Like this
♪ Why can't I speak when I'm in front of you ♪
Let's go
We have two days before the M/V shoot
Today I practiced my acting and the choreography
from beginning to end for the last time
I feel like through this project
I'm trying so many new things [Trying his hand at many new things for "Side By Side"]
It's different from the performances I've always done
Normally, I just need to keep practicing the choreography repeatedly
But for this
I need to think about my steps fingertips, and facial expression [Steps, fingertips, expression, light movements]
It's really hard to make my movements look lighter [Steps, fingertips, expression, light movements]
On top of that, I need to think about the rhythms and emotions too
Honestly, to me, this is harder than just trying to look cool
So I've been practicing more for this song
I think I can do well on the M/V shoot the day after tomorrow
[Side By Side M/V shoot]
[THE 8 tries acting in the M/V]
Hi CARAT
I'm here to film the music video
I'm filming the intro scene right now [#Hi_CARAT]
It looks very vibey
and I think I have more confidence now
I'll have fun during the rest of the shoot!
Please look forward to it
Seeing him filming such a cool solo M/V [#Cheering_and_guest_appearance / DK, JUN, and DINO are here early as cameos]
makes me proud
I feel like a proud dad
My son... THE 8
Action! [#Sitting_on_the_president's_sofa] [The great actor JUN is watching THE 8]
Good, THE 8, good
Back when
I was filming my music video THE 8 came to see me [THE 8 went to JUN's M/V shoot to support him]
and taunted me a little
When the camera was filming [Telling on THE 8]
the other protagonist and I were acting
and THE 8 was standing next to the camera
smiling like a proud mom
So nice
He was like that
So I want to tease him a little today
But I feel like this isn't the right time [#True_intention / He came to make fun, but retreating for now]
I came to appear in THE 8's
solo music video as a cameo
I came with DK and JUN
so I'm gonna try really hard with the shoot wishing that his song becomes a hit

[A fuller M/V thanks to the members' guest appearance]
I'm here at THE 8's solo music video shoot
I felt so proud
THE 8 took acting lessons
just for this
I think you can really look forward to it
Please look forward to THE 8's acting, as he worked hard
Fighting! THE 8!
[All those acting lessons were worth it]
[I'm here]
Yeah, I came alone
Everyone
Help yourself
Our DK sent this! [#Fatherly_love / DK sent a coffee truck]
DK texted me after he filmed his scene this morning
He said "Good luck on the rest of the shoot"
"I sent a coffee truck so help yourself and cheer up!"
I was seriously touched
DK, if you're watching this
know that I feel so grateful
Thank you so much I'll do well on the rest of the shoot
Fighting!
[Shooting "Side By Side" M/V] [#With_members'_support_and_love]
[Quietly watching THE 8 work]
Thanks, see you tomorrow [#Fighting_on_the_shoot / VERNON leaving after saying goodbye to THE 8]
Goodbye
You're here?!!
[THE 8 found HOSHI who came to the shooting site]
THE 8! How have you been?
Hey!
[THE 8 welcoming HOSHI warmly]
You can always count on THE 8
I'm sure he'll do great
The song's so addictive
[Umm]
[Hesitant]
What should I do? [Please help]
How do you want it to look?
I think it should look... Innocent?
Oh, I didn't look innocent?
You're too trendy right now
Too trendy?
It's because I'm so famous [Giving off trendy vibes without trying]
Try to look more innocent
Last year, I just tried to show the artistic aspect of myself
but in this song, I thought hard about how I could show the 25-year-old THE 8
I worked on this thinking about how it'd be if I fell in love with someone
I shared lots of ideas with the staff members for this song
From the character setting to the outfits
the staff and I thought really hard about how I could
show you all a different aspect of myself
Me and everyone who were involved worked hard and put in the effort
to complete this work
I've finally finished this project I've been preparing for a month!
This time, a lot of...
[A surprise supporter is here]
I feel more energized thanks to HOSHI staying until the end
The staff and our SEVENTEEN members
helped me and worked on this piece together
so I feel very proud
I'm also enjoying
being the representative to present this work
I want to show you more new sides of myself in the future
Please love and support my new song
Thank you!
