Five-member Namsung band V01D takes its first step toward an official debut.
IX Entertainment discovered Song Yuchan (drums), Cho Jooyeon (vocals), Jeong Jiseop (guitar+vocals), Kevin Park (keyboard+vocals) and Shinnosuke (bass) and formed V01D, which will begin debut activities by releasing its first mini album 01 on the 11th.
They entered a debut countdown, showcasing the members' varied charms and personalities through SNS with a variety of content including video clips, rallying domestic·international fans and raising expectations for each member's instrumental skills and the debut single.
The debut first mini album 01, released on the 11th, includes four tracks: the title track "Tug of War" (Tug of War), the pre-released title track "ROCKROCK(樂樂)" (RockRock), "The One" (The One) and "Luna" (Luna).
The title track "Tug of War" is a rock-based song that delivers both a lyrical, melodical feel and an intense, raw emotion, offering an overwhelming sense of excitement. As with the other tracks, the members participated in the music production, demonstrating their musical capabilities.
The mini album title 01 reflects the meaning indicated by the "01" in the team's English name V01D. They intend for music, visuals and performance to work as one complete narrative and, through the tracks, for V01D to show the band-specific identity that demonstrates their determination to become the "No.1" band.
A company official said, "The five members begin the first step of reaping the fruits of relentlessly practicing day and night to complete a single band sound," and asked, "Please give V01D your support as they embark on activities overseas, including Japan, as well as in Korea."
V01D will hold a media showcase at 4 p.m. on the 11th at SA HALL in Daehangno, Seoul, and plans to continue debut activities in Korea, including appearances on music programs.
The first mini album 01 will have its tracks released on music platforms at 6 p.m., and the album will be released in two versions: a standard version and a platform version.
