VERIVERY is set to return to the United States for their 2024 VERIVERY US TOUR [GO ON]. GYEHYEON, YEONHO, YONGSEUNG, and KANGMIN, the members, will start their tour on June 14th in New York, travelling through five additional cities: Chicago, Minneapolis, Atlanta, Fort Worth, and Los Angeles.
Ahead of their tour, VERIVERY hosted a roundtable discussion with international media outlets.
Regarding the title of their fan-meet tour, VERIVERY explained that the title of their fan-meet tour, “GO ON,” symbolizes VERIVERY’s continuous journey forward. It also represents the seven-member VERIVERY as well as the four-member VERIVERY moving closer to their fans.
In preparation for their upcoming tour, VERIVERY is facing a shift, downsizing from their usual 7-member configuration to just four. This change inevitably prompts adjustments in choreography and song parts.
Yongseung, a member of the group, acknowledges the challenge, expressing sentiments of lack of synergy but emphasizes their unwavering commitment to delivering a captivating stage presence. Despite the smaller lineup, VERIVERY is determined to compensate with intensified effort, striving to meet the high expectations of their fans and the eager anticipation of their audience for this tour.
While touring as a four-member group might lack the synergy we had as a seven-member group, we’re dedicated to maximizing our stage presence. We’re proud of our efforts that we have put in to deliver a complete performance despite the smaller lineup, striving to meet the expectations of our fans and the audience eagerly anticipating this tour.”
YONGSEUNG
Reflecting on their past tour experiences, YEONHO acknowledges the invaluable lessons learned and firsthand experience of the passion of their fans. Drawing from these encounters, he underscores their intention to infuse their upcoming fan meeting with the same intensity.
On our previous tour, we firsthand experienced the passion of our audience and honed our performance skills. This time, even though it’s a fan meeting, we plan to channel the energy and passion from our fans and deliver a performance filled with the same intensity as any of our concerts.”
YEONHO
Fan-meet tours require extensive planning and preparation, inevitably encountering challenges along the journey. For the maknae, Kangmin, the most difficult thing for him in preparing for this tour is since the two rappers of the group were not able to join them for the tour, there have been some difficulties in planning for their absence. To overcome this, Kangmin has sought guidance and support from the remaining members of the group.
Personally, as two rappers of the group were not able to join us for the tour, there have been some difficulties in planning for their absence. To overcome this, I sought advice and assistance from the other members.”
KANGMIN
One Seoul got a chance to ask the members. We asked them to share what are their long term goals as a group. GYEHYEON shared that they want to be a group that can stay active for a long time.
We always say this during our interviews. We want to be a group that can stay active for a long time.”

Moreover, VERIVERY made their debut in 2019, so we asked them what advice or message they would give themselves if they could time travel back to that moment. Kangmin shared that he would tell his younger self to get some more sleep so that he could grow taller. For GYEHYEON, he shared that he would say something opposite; instead of sleeping, he would practice and study more during the hours he spent sleeping.
I would tell my younger self to get some more sleep. Maybe then I would have grown a bit taller.”
