The group VANNER (ė°°ė) debuted with the album V on February 14, 2019 with the agency VT.
On January 30, 2024 they released their second EP "CAPTURE THE FLAG"
They are: Taehwan (Leader, Vocalist and Dancer), Gon (Rapper, Vocalist and Dancer), Hyesung (Vocalist and Dancer), Sungkook (Rapper and Dancer) and maknae Yeonggwang (Vocalist and Dancer).
Let's know more about them.
TAEHWAN- We thought that combining the words "Banner" and "Victory" would create a fun and meaningful name, so after much deliberation with the members, we decided on the group name VANNER!
HYESUNG- There were many options, but we ultimately chose the name VANNER through a majority vote.
KZ- What are your talents besides singing and dancing? What do you like to do and are you good at?
TAEHWAN- I've been personally creating a reality video series called 'HWAN TV,' so I've developed some unique video editing skills, I'm also good at taking photos, which is why the members often ask me for help! ^^
GON- I enjoy baseball, swimming, and scuba diving!
HYESUNG- Since I was young, I've been interested in band music, so I like playing instruments like drums, guitar, and piano.
SUNGKOOK- I enjoy reading and studying languages.
YEONGGWANG- Basketball and drawing are my specialties!
KZ- Tell us about your victory in the survival program "Peak Time". What was the most difficult part, how did you feel?
TAEHWAN- I think the most challenging part was always feeling the pressure for the next stage due to consistently receiving good grades. Through preparing various stages on PEAK TIME, I believe VANNER has experienced tremendous growth.
GON - I haven’t felt particularly overwhelmed because I had the belief that with the members, we could accomplish anything.
HYESUNG- The pressure always lingered on how to deliver a good stage without disappointing our fans, given our consistent good grades. However, by overcoming this pressure through conversations with the members and always preparing sincerely, I think we managed to overcome a lot of that burden.
SUNGKOOK- Winning the first place will be a lifelong memory. Now, I want to focus on the next step.
YEONGGWANG- Standing in the position of being evaluated against other teams was inherently difficult. Before every result announcement, I always thought the opposing team did well, and there was always a sense of regret about our stage. That's why I often thought, "We might lose this time."
KZ- What would you say has changed from "V" to "CAPTURE THE FLAG"?
TAEHWAN- I think there has been an upgrade in every aspect, but the most grateful and changed part is having many staff members helping us with VANNER's album production.
GON- VANNER's growth story is reflected in each album, and I believe that the meaning of the team name VANNER is gradually becoming richer as a result.
HYESUNG- The change I see is in the diverse musical color of VANNER and the slightly more mature stage.
SUNGKOOK- I believe we are growing musically and visually. Also, in terms of performance, it feels like VANNER is becoming more cohesive as a team on stage.
YOENGGWANG- I think each of our members has changed in their facial expressions and atmospheres. As we continue to find our colors little by little, our charms are starting to shine.
KZ- Let's talk about "CAPTURE THE FLAG" What is the goal of the album?
TAEHWAN- Our goal is for more people to get to know the group VANNER.
GON- Through this album, our goal is to hold solo concerts for VANNER and go on international tours!
HYESUNG- I feel like VANNER has shown a distinct musical color this time, so based on this album, I want to show a clearer concept in the next album with further development.
SUNGKOOK- Our goal is to introduce VANNER to many people and gain recognition!
YEONGGWANG- Our goal is to achieve first place on music shows with "JACKPOT."
KZ- Parlons de "CAPTURE THE FLAG" Quel est le but de l'album ?
KZ- What is your favorite track on the album and why?
TAEHWAN- It’s “After Party,” and it’s a track that showcases a color we haven’t shown before. It was a joy to record and practice, so we chose it.
GON - My favorite in this album is ‘CIRCUIT’, I usually enjoy strong beats and since I participated in lyrics, it’s my favorite.
HYESUNG- I personally like ‘PONYTAIL’. It was very flattering to me.
SUNGKOOK- Mine would be ‘After Party’! It’s definitely my style.
YEONGGWANG- ‘Be My Love’ would be my favorite because it’s an R&B style that we’ve never tried and I believe our fans will love it.
KZ- What has been your "JACKPOT" in the musical world? What are you most proud of?
TAEHWAN- My biggest ‘JACKPOT’ is meeting our VANNER members and being on the show of ‘Peak Time’. Being on music shows lately, I am so proud of our VVS fan chants! It’s phenomenal when you hear it live~!!^^
GON - It’s to meet our VVS, that’s my biggest ‘JACKPOT’. I am mostly proud of our fans.
HYESUNG- VVS! The reason for us to be able to sing this song of ‘JACKPOT’ is because of them and the final finish to our song is the chants of our fans!
SUNGKOOK- The fact that I am still able to sing and be on stage is my biggest ‘JACKPOT’.
YEONGGWANG- The fact that I can meet the senior groups that I’ve always idolized and be able to get personally close to them is my ‘JACKPOT’.
KZ- What or who inspired the ballad "Across the Stars"?
TAEHWAN- I sang this song while thinking of VVS a lot and it reminded me of ‘Like A Star’ in our 1st full album.
GON - I felt that this song was very holy when I first heard it!
HYESUNG- There is a song called ‘Like A Star’ in our 1st full album and when singing this song, there was always just a pin light with the dark stage. I remember our members and fans within that light and sang this song trying to re-thinking of that moment.
SUNGKOOK- I got inspired thinking of VVS and us in a huge space sharing love.
YEONGGWANG- I try to send my heartful message to VVS whenever singing this song.
TAEHWAN- This song has choreography so I would like to perform more on stage or music shows.
GON - I want to freestyle battle with our members!
HYESUNG- I want to be able to express freedom during the performance!
SUNGKOOK- Do lots of performances on music shows!
YEONGGWANG- Be able to express VANNER’s freedom.
KZ- Qu'aimez-vous faire aprĆØs la fĆŖte ("After Party")?
KZ- "CAPTURE THE FLAG" has two ballads, in which genre are you more comfortable and why? Which of the two ballads, "Be My Love" or "Across the Stars” do you like more?
TAEHWAN- When recording, ‘Be My Love’ was a lot easier. ‘Across The Stars’ had lots to think about with techniques so I was a little sensitive! And I do like both songs but I prefer ‘Be My Love’ a little more. ^^
GON - Between the two I felt that ‘Across The Stars’ was more comfortable because the song has more breaths included while singing.
HYESUNG- I like both songs. I think as I get older I matured a lot in feeling emotions more naturally. I was able to relate to both songs and express them pretty well.
SUNGKOOK- I can’t choose I love both songs too much…
YEONGGWANG- It would be ‘Across The Stars’ since it was the first to record and we’ve prepared longer for the recording which made my focus a lot more.
TAEHWAN- To meet VVS without any breaks and go on tour if possible!
GON - To win #1 on a music show!
HYESUNG- To hold our VANNER’s concert!
SUNGKOOK- To finish this promotion well and hope to continue promoting this full year without break!
YEONGGWANG- To hold our very own concert since we’ve just released our 2nd full album.
