The group VVUP (Bibiup/Kim, Pan, Suyeon, Jiyoon), who reorganized as a four-member team, will release a special digital single ‘4 Life’ on the 10th.

‘4 Life’ is an R&B genre song with captivating, overwhelming energy, and the combination of warm and trendy sounds heightens the overwhelming emotions. As it is the first song that new member Jiyoon has sung since joining the team, it is receiving high expectations from global fans.

VVUP also released a special video teaser that gives a glimpse into the mood of ‘4 Life’ on their official YouTube channel at midnight today (the 9th). This special video, which will be released along with the release of the music, is especially affectionate as the members specially prepared it for their fans. The video features Kim, Pan, and Suyeon against the backdrop of Sapporo and Tokyo, Japan, which stand out for their wintery vibes, and adds to the curiosity of the entire VVUP group by adding new member Jiyoon, who is still kept under wraps, at the end.

VVUP solidified their position as ‘global rookies’ by releasing their first single ‘Locked On’ last April and entering the iTunes K-POP charts in major overseas music markets such as the US and UK.

VVUP‘s special single ‘4 Life’ will be released through various music sites on the 10th at 6 PM, and special videos will be released sequentially on the official YouTube channel on the 10th and 13th.
