The boy group VERIVERY is making a comeback after 2 years and 7 months, once again establishing their presence in the global K-pop market.
The American economic magazine Forbes focused on VERIVERY's comeback in its December 1st article (local time). In particular, it highlighted the group's growth as 'global idols' by presenting an in-depth interview with the members about their fourth single album 'Lost and Found', released after a long hiatus following their seventh mini-album 'Liminality – EP.DREAM'.
The response on overseas music platforms is also clear. VERIVERY was selected as the cover artist for Amazon Music's K-pop boy group curation playlist 'K-Boys'. Among many teams making comebacks at the same time, they adorned the main cover of the playlist, sending a strong signal of return to fans who have been waiting for a long time.
Chart performances both domestically and internationally are following. The single 'Lost and Found' ranked first on the Hanteo Chart real-time on December 1st and daily on December 2nd. All tracks, including the title song 'RED (Beggin’)', 'empty', and 'Cotton Candy (Blame us)', entered the Melon HOT 100 and Bugs TOP 100, and on iTunes, 'RED (Beggin’)' achieved fifth place in Poland and sixth in Malaysia.
The title song 'RED (Beggin’)' is a song that interpolates The Four Seasons' classic 'Beggin’', inspired by the Korean sentiment of 'Han (恨)'. Within a day of release, the music video surpassed 2 million views on VERIVERY's official YouTube channel, with overseas fans leaving positive comments such as "an epic comeback". The 'suit dance' version performance video released on the 1theK original channel also recorded high views and comments in less than half a day.
Meanwhile, VERIVERY is set to continue their activities by appearing on major music shows such as KBS 2TV's 'Music Bank' on the 5th, followed by MBC's 'Show! Music Core' and SBS's 'Inkigayo', sequentially showcasing their comeback stage for 'RED (Beggin’)'.
