VERIVERY Ultimate Guide: Members, Music & Their First Europe Tour
VERIVERY explained: the Jellyfish group's members, discography, and every city on the GIVE ME FIVE, KEEP THAT VIBE tour — including their first Europe run.
Who Are VERIVERY?
VERIVERY debuted on January 9, 2019 under Jellyfish Entertainment with the mini album VERI-US. Over seven years they’ve built a reputation as one of K-pop’s more concept-committed groups — the FACE it trilogy (2020) and the SERIES O run (“Get Away,” “Trigger,” “Undercover”) turned album cycles into connected narratives.
In October 2025 all seven members renewed with Jellyfish, ahead of schedule.
Members — Read This Part Carefully
VERIVERY is a seven-member group, currently promoting as five.
- Active: Dongheon (leader), Gyehyeon, Yeonho, Yongseung, Kangmin
- On hiatus: Minchan (since December 2022, health reasons) and Hoyoung (paused activities in October 2023; began alternative military service as a social service worker in November 2025)
Both remain signed to Jellyfish — this is a hiatus situation, not a departure. Dongheon, for context, completed his own military service in February 2025 and returned to the group.
That distinction matters more than it might seem. In K-pop, “hiatus” and “departure” are different contractual states, and fans of long-running groups learn to read the wording carefully. A hiatus means the member remains part of the group and under contract, with activities paused; a departure means the lineup has formally changed. Agencies announce the latter explicitly, and Jellyfish has not. Groups promoting with a reduced lineup for extended periods is not unusual — it’s how the industry handles health, service, and personal circumstances without dissolving a group.
The seven-member renewal in October 2025 is the strongest signal available on the group’s status. Contract renewals at the seven-year mark are the single most-watched moment in a K-pop group’s life, because that’s when Korean standard contracts typically expire and groups most often disband. All seven signing again — including both members on hiatus — is a clear statement that the full lineup remains the plan.
Music So Far
- VERI-US (Jan 2019) — debut mini album
- FACE it trilogy (2020) — the concept run that defined their identity
- SERIES O — “Get Away” (2021), “Trigger,” and Undercover (2022), their first full album
- “Tap Tap” (Nov 2022) — brought their first music show win
- Lost and Found (Dec 1, 2025) — 4th single album, title track “RED (Beggin’)”, their return after roughly two and a half years
What “Concept-Committed” Actually Means Here
Plenty of groups have concepts. VERIVERY’s distinction is that they’ve repeatedly built multi-album arcs rather than treating each release as a self-contained era.
The FACE it trilogy and the SERIES O run work like chapters: recurring visual motifs, a continuing narrative thread across title tracks, and album packaging designed to be read in sequence. That approach has a real trade-off attached, and it’s worth being honest about both sides:
- The cost: serialised concepts are harder for casual listeners to enter. If the third chapter is the one that reaches you, the first two are homework.
- The payoff: it builds a discography that rewards depth. Groups with connected arcs tend to hold their fandoms longer, because there’s something to go back and study.
For a group from a mid-size agency without the promotional weight of a Big Four label, that’s a rational bet — depth over immediate reach.
GIVE ME FIVE, KEEP THAT VIBE — The 2026 Tour
Announced July 28, 2026, the tour covers 11 cities — and includes the group’s first-ever Europe leg:
| Region | Cities |
|---|---|
| Korea | Seoul (October — exact date TBA) |
| Asia | Jakarta, Osaka, Tokyo, Macau, Taipei (dates TBA) |
| Europe | Warsaw (Dec 2) · Amsterdam (Dec 4) · Cologne (Dec 6) · Berlin (Dec 8) · Paris (Dec 11) |
Only the European dates have been published so far; Seoul is confirmed for October without a specific date, and the Asian stops are still to be scheduled. Venues and ticketing details for Europe are also TBA.
A note on the title: fans have read “GIVE ME FIVE” as a nod to the five members currently promoting, but Jellyfish hasn’t explained the name — and it isn’t a debut anniversary tour (VERIVERY’s anniversary is January, and 2026 marks year seven).
Why a First Europe Leg Is a Bigger Deal Than It Sounds
Five European cities in ten days, seven years after debut, is a specific kind of milestone. Touring Europe is expensive and logistically heavy — venues, freight, crew, visas — and agencies generally don’t route it on optimism. It happens when demand has already been demonstrated, usually through streaming data, ticketing platform interest, and years of accumulated online engagement.
For a group of VERIVERY’s profile, that’s arguably a more meaningful signal than a chart placement. Domestic charts reward promotional muscle; an international tour route reflects where people are actually willing to buy tickets. Warsaw, Amsterdam, Cologne, Berlin, and Paris is also a genuinely mainstream European K-pop routing rather than a token single stop.
Where to Start If You’re New
- “RED (Beggin’)” — the most recent title track, and the current sound
- “Tap Tap” — the first music show win, and the most immediate entry point
- The SERIES O run — “Get Away” into “Trigger” into Undercover, in order, if you want the arc rather than the singles
- A live stage — for a group promoting as five, the current formation is best understood in performance
