The8 Steals The Hearts Of Fans And Judges Alike With His Appearance On Idol Producer 2

I want him as my mentor.

SEVENTEEN’s The8, real name Xu Minghao, is a mentor on season 2 of Chinese survival show Idol Producer. He’s gaining love for his kind treatment of the trainees and fulfilling his role as their mentor.

As a mentor, it’s The8’s job to hold the trainees to a high standard and make sure they’re able to reach it. He strikes the perfect balance between strictly pushing them forward and being understanding of their situation: he made them practice for hours until the routine was perfect but rewarded them with snacks for working hard. Fans love The8’s duality.

During the performance, The8’s charismatic dancing and stable vocals surprised not only the audience but the judges as well. Best of all, his team of trainees was able to deliver a powerful, synchronized performance. Based on everyone’s enthusiastic cheers, they were deeply satisfied, but they weren’t the only ones. Fans are still talking about it.

They’re even praising him for his hard work in writing the lyrics for the Chinese remix version of SEVENTEEN’s “Highlight”. It seems like The8 is more than just a dancer; his talents are never-ending.

Has The8 stolen your heart with his kind guidance and stellar performance? Will you be tuning into season 2 of Idol Producer?
