The group VVUP is returning as a four-member group with the addition of new member Jiyoon.

VVUP (Kim, Pan, Suyeon, Jiyoon) will release a special digital single ‘4 Life’ through various music sites at noon on the 30th.

It has been about 5 months since VVUP released a new song, following the digital single ‘Ain’ Nobody‘ in July. The cover image of ’4 Life‘ features a heart drawn vividly on a snowy field, and the group presents an R&B sound for the first time.

’4 Life‘ is a captivating song with surging energy, containing sweet yet overwhelming emotions. VVUP is expected to give a warm gift to fans this winter, leaving a strong aftertaste like the love and exciting confessions they convey.

In particular, ’4 Life‘ is the first song to be released after new member Jiyoon joined the team, and it heralds VVUP‘s further growth. Information about Jiyoon, who is still shrouded in mystery, will be sequentially revealed through video content and other means in the future.

VVUP stood out on global charts after their debut in the music industry with their first single ’Locked On‘. Following their entry into the iTunes K-POP charts in major overseas music markets such as the United States and the United Kingdom, they also attended ’KCON‘ both in Hong Kong and Japan, which is unusual for a rookie group.

Furthermore, with the support of a super-stellar production team including K-pop hit maker Earattack and dance crew Lachika, they have established themselves as a ’global rookie‘ with their overwhelming stage presence, and recently won the grand prize for new singer at the 16th ‘Seoul Success Awards’.

VVUP’s new single ’4 Life‘, newly established as a 4-member group, will be released on various music sites at noon on the 30th.
