Notably, VVUP has gained fairly even popularity across the globe, from Asia to Europe, including Indonesia, the home country of member Kim, which has surprised many.
"House Party" is the pre-release track from VVUP's first mini album, which will be unveiled in November. The song is an electronic genre that blends sleek synth sounds with a lively house beat, and it depicts a surreal party in a digital world where the boundary between virtual and real is blurred and everyone enjoys themselves wearing "filters."
