More than Artists
With the recent craze for anything K-POP, CJ ENM has masterfully tapped into the fan's wishes; presenting the Eightest, a documentary-style reality show that features an array of K-POP groups like n.SSign, NOWADAYS, THE NEW SIX, xikers, UNIS, and &TEAM to name a few. By capturing the daily routines and personal moments through 8 different stages the program offers, they are able to bridge the gap between artists and fans.

The show's unique approach is encapsulated in its eight-part format, which highlights different aspects of each artist's life, both on and off the stage. Whether it’s showcasing casual moments in the dorm, honest reflections in interviews, or discussions of cherished personal items, Eightest offers a holistic view of the idols' lives, making them more relatable and human to their fans.
The variety of content and the extended runtime have made Eightest a hit among viewers, fulfilling the fans' "wish" to see their idols in a more personal light. This relatability, combined with the charm of seeing idols in their most candid moments, allows fans to feel more connected to the stars they admire.
The success of Eightest lies in its ability to show that, behind the glitz and glamour of K-POP stardom, these artists are people with whom fans can genuinely relate, further deepening their emotional connection to the idols.
