They performed more than 200 times in Japan prior to their Korean debut.[6] The group also started a crowdfunding support project which achieved over 250% of the target amount reflecting a global fandom even before their official debut.[7][8]

On February 14, 2019, the group officially debuted upon the release of their studio album V and its lead single "Better Do Better," as well as appeared on Mnet's music show M Countdown for the first time.[9] Later that year, the group released their first single album 5cean: V with "Crazy Love" as its lead single on September 4.[10] They also performed at the 2019 Seoul International Music Fair (MU:CON 2019) held in COEX, Seoul on October 3, 2019.[11]

At the beginning of 2020, Vanner successfully finished its United States tour concert, Vanner Rising in the U.S., around five cities for 10 days.[12] The group released their second single album Life with "Form" (폼) as its single on December 1, 2020.[13] The comeback showcase was broadcast live simultaneously around the world through YouTube and V Live on December 5.[14]

In 2021, they participated and performed at K-Stage 2021: Untact Concert, a series of online concerts streamed on YouTube and MuBeat platform.[15][16] On December 26, 2021, Vanner attended and performed at the 2021 K-Stage Awards and was awarded the "Global K-pop Star Award".[17]

2023: Peak Time's Team 11:00, Veni Vidi Vici, and VVS Adventure

edit

In February 2023, it was announced that the group would be included among the 24 contestants in the JTBC idol survival show Peak Time.[21] Vanner was introduced in the show as Team 11:00, as the contestants were represented with an hour of the day.[22] On April 20, Vanner was declared the show's winner with a cumulative total of 1.46 million votes globally and domestically.[23] Through the show, the group received and released two new songs, "Skyscraper" and "Prime Time".[24][25] As part of the top 6 and the final winning team, Vanner performed in the Your Time concert tour in Seoul on May 5 to 7 at Jamsil Indoor Gymnasium,[26] Busan on June 24 to 25 at KBS Busan Hall,[27] Taipei, Taiwan on July 15 at Taipei International Convention Center,[28] Hong Kong on December 9 at Kowloonbay International Trade & Exhibition Centre,[29] and encore performances at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium from July 22 to 23[30] and Kaohsiung Arena in Kaohsiung, Taiwan on November 25.[31]

In May 2023, the group signed with KLAP Entertainment to help them in album production, promotion, and management for three years.[32] On June 16, Vanner signed a management contract with Eshy Gazit's Intertwine for the group's U.S. activities.[33]

On August 21, Vanner returned after winning Peak Time and released their first mini album Veni Vidi Vici. The group held their showcase at Yes24 Live Hall, where they presented their lead single "Performer" and Monsta X's Hyungwon-produced song "Want U Back".[34] The EP topped the iTunes Global Album Chart in the Philippines, Hong Kong, and Taiwan and ranked second, fourth, and ninth in Brazil, Italy, and the Netherlands, respectively.[35][36] The group also exceeded its 100,000 album sales during this comeback.[37]

The group announced on August 31 their plan to hold their first fan concert since their debut. The VVS Adventure concert tour is scheduled in various cities across Asia.[38] On October 14 and 15, 2023, Vanner hosted their inaugural fan concert at the Yonsei University Centennial Hall in Seoul.[39] This was followed by a two-day concert in Japan, with shows at Zepp Music Halls in Osaka and Tokyo on October 26 and 28, respectively.[40] At the same time, on October 26, Vanner released their first Japanese digital single, which includes two songs, "Ponytail" and a Japanese version of their song "Performer".[41]

Furthermore, Vanner attended and performed at the 5th Newsis Korean Wave Expo on August 23, where the group was honored with the "Next Generation Hallyu Star Award".[42] Additionally, on November 5, the group was invited to perform at the closing event of the 2023 Asia Model Festival. Vanner was presented with the "Rising Star Award" during the Asia Model Awards ceremony.[43]

2024–present: Capture the Flag, The Flag: A to V, Burn, and members' conscription

edit

On January 30, Vanner released their second mini album Capture the Flag.[44] To celebrate their comeback, the group held a showcase and busking event where they performed songs from their mini album. The songs included their lead single "Jackpot", produced by Pentagon's Hui and Wooseok, and "Be My Love", produced by BtoB's Hyunsik.[45] The EP reached number one on the iTunes Global Album Chart in the Philippines and Colombia, and landed in the top ten for charts in Brazil, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Taiwan, Russia, and Italy.[46] The group was also invited to the 31st Hanteo Music Awards at Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul on February 17, where they performed and were awarded as the "Hanteo Choice K-pop Male Artist".[47]

In February 2024, KLAP Entertainment announced that Vanner would hold its first solo concert in five years. The Flag: A to V concert was initially planned for two days in Seoul.[48] However, the group later decided to add another day due to Sungkook's military enlistment on May 7, 2024.[49][50] The inaugural headlining concert was held from April 26 to 28, 2024, at Yes24 Live Hall in Seoul.[51] During the concert, the group released their new song "Be Together" as a part of their setlist.[52] Following the shows in Seoul, the concert tour continued without Sungkook and took place in Taiwan, Japan, and Hong Kong.[53] Additionally, a two-day encore concert in Seoul took place on July 27 and 28, 2024.[54] Vanner also released their new English song "New Heights" and included it in their setlist during the concert.[55]

At the beginning of September, the band announced their comeback in the latter part of the month. This marks their first appearance as a four-member group, with Sungkook being absent due to his conscription in May.[56] A couple of weeks prior to their comeback, the band dropped their first English single, a cover of Charlie Puth's "I Don't Think That I Like Her", on September 13. The single achieved top positions in several iTunes charts in Hong Kong, Taiwan, Canada, Malaysia, Poland, and the Philippines.[57] On September 30, Vanner revealed their third mini album Burn. The band hosted a showcase during which they performed tracks from their EP, including their lead single "Automatic", as well as previously introduced songs from their concert, "Be Together" and "New Heights", and "Blossom", a piece written and composed by Highlight's Lee Gi-kwang.[58] Burn also achieved the top spot on various iTunes charts in the Philippines, United Kingdom, United States, Taiwan, Turkey, Hong Kong, and Brazil.[59] On October 11, Vanner earned their first-ever music show win in the KBS television music program Music Bank with their lead single "Automatic".[60]

On October 17, KLAP Entertainment announced that Hyesung would begin his mandatory military enlistment on November 4 and serve as an active-duty soldier, similar to his fellow member Sungkook.[61] However, due to medical reasons, Hyesung was discharged from military service on December 16.[62]
