SEVENTEEN’s The8 Fulfills Dream Of Going to Paris Fashion Week

Fans of K-pop boy group SEVENTEEN couldn’t help but celebrate that member Minghao, who is also widely recognized as is stage name The8, had graced the Paris Fashion Week with his presence. 

During the last week of September, The8 was invited to shows of two luxurious fashion brands. 

First was the Balmain fashion show. Here, the SEVENTEEN dancer made waves online for his elegant ensemble — a sheer inner partnered with a patterned black blazer with fringes. 

During the Givenchy event, his second show, The8 opted for a more laid back look. Sporting a gray ensemble, the monochromatic fit was complemented by his long blonde hair. 

More than his stunning looks for the Paris Fashion Week, CARATs were even more sentimental after seeing the Chinese star in the prestigious event. Because, The8 has long been vocal about wanting to attend it someday.

In a 2018 video for SEVENTEEN’s future diary, the idol shared how one of his dreams is attending a fashion show in Paris. 

“I’m walking on stage fabulously representing SEVENTEEN,” the artist said then. “Many celebrities from around the world [were present] and I walked on stage wearing something very cool.”

“In front of all these people, my dream has come true. I want to become a good artist. So, I can have a good influence on people,” he continued. 

Following the announcement of his participation in Paris Fashion Week, fans quickly reposted the old video and shared their happiness for The8. 

Even the K-pop idol himself couldn’t help but share his excitement for it. “I’m finally going to see the Paris Fashion Show tomorrow. I’ll see and share lots of pretty things,” he told fans. 

After attending the events of both brands, The8 also held a Weverse live to talk with his fans about the experience. Since seeing a fashion show in Paris has been one of his longtime dreams, the artist said that it’s an “honor” to finally make it happen. Additionally, he said that the fans who personally showed support for him in the shows made it more fun and memorable.
