VANNER is gearing up for an exciting comeback, set to take place in September. It will be the group’s first major release without fellow member Sungkook who is still serving in the military.
VANNER Confirms September 2024 Comeback Without Member Sungkook
On August 31, it was revealed that the group would be making their highly anticipated return with a new album. However, this comeback will be slightly different from their previous ones, as it will not feature the original five-member lineup. Sungkook, one of the group’s members, is currently serving in the military, which leaves the group temporarily promoting as a four-member unit.
In addition to the upcoming album, VANNER is also planning to release an English single before the album drop, showcasing their versatility and aiming to reach a broader international audience.
This September comeback marks VANNER’s first without Sungkook, who enlisted for military service in May. Despite the challenges that come with a member’s absence, Sungkook’s commitment to the group was evident even before his enlistment. KLAP Entertainment, the agency managing VANNER, confirmed that Sungkook was dedicated to fulfilling all his scheduled activities, including participating in the group’s concert in Korea, before his enlistment.
“VANNER’s Sungkook will be carrying out his military duty as an active-duty soldier in the army after undergoing basic training at a training center [starting] on Tuesday, May 7,” the statement read. “Up until his enlistment, Sungkook plans to carry out his scheduled activities, including VANNER’s domestic concert,” it continued.
Sungkook’s determination to complete his commitments before beginning his military service underscores his professionalism and deep respect for VANNER’s fans. His efforts to ensure that the group’s activities continue smoothly in his absence reflect his dedication to VANNER’s success and his desire to minimize any disruptions for the group.
As VANNER prepares to release their new album and English single, fans eagerly anticipate what the group has in store during this new chapter. Stay tuned for more updates on this story.
