Vernon, whose real name is Hansol Vernon Chwe, first captivated audiences as a key rapper and performer for SEVENTEEN since their debut in 2015. Known for his distinctive flow, captivating stage presence, and unique lyrical contributions, he has been an integral part of the group’s meteoric rise to global stardom. Demonstrating his continuous artistic evolution, just this past June, Vernon expanded his creative horizons by launching the subunit V8 alongside fellow member The8. Their debut EP, also titled “V8,” marked a significant milestone as the sixth official unit within SEVENTEEN, showcasing the group’s incredible versatility and collaborative spirit and his own diverse musical palette.

A Heartfelt Message to Carats

“I’ll Be Back” promises to be a heartfelt message from Vernon to his dedicated fanbase, a comforting melody to carry Carats through his period of service.
