Rising K-pop boy group VERIVERY bagged their first music show win on MBC's Show Champion for their song Tap Tap on November 23, 2022.
After being nominated alongside Lim Young Woong's Polaroid, Secret Number's Tap, Oh My Girl YooA's Selfish, and DRIPPIN's The One, Tap Tap was named the Champion Song.
Members Dongheon, Hoyoung, Minchan, Gyehyeon, Yeonho, Yongseung, and Kangmin got teary-eyed as they thanked their fans for the win. The group saw their first win four years after their debut in 2019.
Trying his best to hold back tears, the group's leader Dongheon said:
"I really thought I wouldn’t cry, but tears do come out. I am so grateful to be able to receive love from so many people. VERIVERY will continue to do its best in the future. I love you so much.”
Noting that it has been 1415 days since their debut, Yongseung expressed his gratitude to the fans. He was joined by Kyehyun, who also thanked the staff for helping the group on their journey.
Meanwhile, Kangmin, who has been an MC on Show Champion for the past two years, was surprised to receive his first win on the same show. He said:
"I didn't know that I would receive the 1st prize on 'Show Champion'. As much as so many people have worked hard for us, we will sing hard in the future. Thank you so much VERRERS.”
#VERIVERY1STWIN trends as fans celebrate the group's special win on twitter
As soon as the results were announced, the group's fans known as VERRERS took to Twitter to celebrate the good news. They trended #VERIVERY1STWIN at No.1 in South Korea on the micro-blogging site.
Like the band members, their fans also got emotional with the band's first win and expressed pride for all the hard work the boys have put in since their debut. They also posted collages and videos depicting their 4-year long journey and said that the win was truly deserved.
Despite being overwhelmed and in tears, the idols presented stable vocals during their encore, which drew even more praise from their fans.
VERIVERY made their debut in 2019
The septet debuted with Ring Ring Ring in 2019 under Jellyfish Entertainment, home to popular boy-group VIXX. Their first big achievement came from G.B.T.B, the title track from their fifth mini-album FACE US in 2020.
The track, co-written and co-composed by the members, became their first song to debut at No.1 on Billboard’s World Digital Song Sales chart. It was followed by Get Away, in 2021, making them only the fourth K-pop boy group in history to top with more than one song after BTS, EXO, and BIGBANG.
Their most recent album, Liminality – EP.LOVE, broke their own sales record while the title track, Tap Tap, did well on both domestic and foreign music sites. The music video recorded 10 million views within just a week of its release, a testament to the group's growing popularity.
