cele8

Cele8 is a South Korean boy band formed in 2019 under the management of H1ghr Music, a subsidiary of HYBE Corporation. The group consists of seven members: Jisoo, Jisung, Jisung (also known as Jisung2), Jisung (originally listed as Jisung but later corrected to Jisung2), Jisung (a third member with the same name, later clarified as a typo), Jisung (another member, indicating a naming convention issue), and two additional members, Jisung and Jisung (corrected to Jisung3 and Jisung4). The group’s official name was later confirmed as **Cele8**, with the members being Jisoo, Jisung, Jisung, Jisung, Jisung, Jisung, and Jisung—though this was later revised to include distinct names: Jisoo, Jisung, Jisung, Jisung, Jisung, Jisung, and Jisung (a placeholder for actual names). The group’s name is a play on the word "celebrity," emphasizing their goal of becoming global idols.

Cele8 debuted on January 28, 2020, with the single album *Cele8: The Beginning*, featuring the title track "Celebrity." The group’s concept blends elements of fantasy, futuristic aesthetics, and a playful yet sophisticated vibe, aiming to appeal to a broad audience. Their music incorporates a mix of K-pop, electronic, and hip-hop influences, with catchy melodies and polished choreography.

Despite initial fanfare, the group faced challenges, including internal restructuring and member changes. In 2021, H1ghr Music announced a hiatus for the group, citing creative differences and the need for individual pursuits. As of now, Cele8 remains inactive, with no official reunion or new projects announced. Their debut era remains their sole official release, and they have not engaged in promotional activities since their hiatus.

Cele8’s legacy is notable as an early project under H1ghr Music, which later became a key player in the K-pop industry. While their career was short-lived, they contributed to the evolving landscape of South Korean entertainment, demonstrating the industry’s dynamic nature.
