Vanner to take 'The Flag: A to V' concert overseas in May
Vanner will continue its “The Flag: A to V” concert overseas with performances in Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong.
The boy band will kick off the concert in Seoul — its first in Korea — with a three-day-long performance at the Yes24 Live Hall in Gwangjin District, eastern Seoul, performing on April 26, 27 and 28.
Vanner will then be heading overseas, performing in Taiwan on May 10, then in Tokyo, Japan on May 25 and 26 and in Hong Kong on July 1.
The three-day concerts in Seoul will be Vanner’s last concert with member Sungkook before he starts his mandatory military service in the Korean Army on May 7.
“The Flag: A to V” refers to the members’ mad dash to reach V, the Victory Voyage, having started with nothing at zero base A, according to KLAP Entertainment.
Vanner debuted in February 2019 under VT Entertainment and signed with its current agency KLAP Entertainment after winning JTBC's survival show "Peak Time" (2023), which shed light on already-debuted but lesser-known boy bands. The band has five members: Taehwan, Gon, Hyesung, Yeonggwang and Sungkook, formerly known as Ahxian.
The band dropped its second EP, “Capture the Flag,” with the lead track “Jackpot" in January. The members received the Hanteo-Choice K-pop Male Artist award at the Hanteo Awards in February.
