VERIVERY’s Yong-seung prior to debut
The news of VERIVERY’s debut was confirmed by Jellyfish Entertainment on August 23rd, 2018. The group is said to be the second Jellyfish Entertainment boy group after VIXX, which debuted back in 2012. It was reported that the group would be a seven-member boy group called VERIVERY, which was derived from the Latin word ‘veri’ which means ‘truth’ and the English word ‘very’. The adjective words ‘various’, ‘energetic’, ‘real’ and ‘innovation’ are formed together into the name VERIVERY with the hope that the group would embody those characteristics. Prior to their official debut, VERIVERY had their own reality show program where they were showing their daily lives and how they grew as teammates. The program was titled Now Verivery: Real Road Movie and was broadcast on Mnet from September 2018, where they were planning to debut in late 2018 or early 2019. They also sang the theme song for the program titled “Super Special,” which was released on September 21st, 2018.
The group also released individual photo teasers and a behind the scenes video. Yong-seung became the fourth member to be introduced on September 6th, 2018.
From the beginning, Yong-seung has been known to be the dancing machine of the group. His powerful energetic and detailed moves combined with his serious passion brought him a position as a main dancer in the group. His talent has also shown ever since he was a child in junior high school. Check out some of his raw talents in his pre-debut footages below!

Ooooh I loooove the direction of their music so far! Super Special and Ring Ring Ring have this super nostalgic vibe thanks to their choice in synths and snares and I loooove it!

Looking forward to the rest of the album <3,” a fan commented. “I loved their pre-release. I’m disgustingly in love with this song.
