[Sports Today reporter Yoon Hye-young] Five-member band V01D wrapped up a successful debut week.
V01D took their first step on March 11 with the release of their first mini album ’01’ and a media showcase. They followed with consecutive weekend music show appearances, beginning March 12 on Mnet’s M Countdown and continuing on KBS2’s Music Bank, MBC’s Show! Music Core and, on the 15th, SBS’s Inkigayo.
The group hit the stage with visuals that showcased each member’s personality and delivered a polished performance of the title track ‘Tug of War’, leaving a striking impression. The song pairs lyrical, melodic moments with raw, intense emotion, gradually layering rock elements into an exhilarating surge of energy.
After the broadcasts, online and social media buzzed with praise for the five members — Song Yuchan (drums), Jo Joo-yeon (vocals), Jung Ji-seop (guitar + vocals), Kevin Park (keyboard + vocals) and Shin Nosuke (bass) — applauding musicianship and vocal power that exceeded expectations for a rookie band.
Across their first week of music show appearances, V01D signaled they were not treating debut promotions as a formality. They made clear their intention to live up to their name, V01D, by leaving a lasting emotional imprint on listeners.
On social media, videos from the showcase and broadcast clips have been shared widely, drawing support from fans at home and abroad and attracting interest from the wider K-pop community. In addition to stage performances, short-form content highlighting each member’s charm has entertained viewers and generated positive comments.
Leader Song Yuchan said, \”The support we received during our debut week has given us boundless energy. We’ll work hard so our music can gather those emotions and convey the moving process of building a narrative to everyone watching our beginning.\”
