VERIVERY’s Kangmin reflects on his 'Boys II Planet' elimination: “I was relieved, but also disappointed”

VERIVERY’s Kangmin looked back on his time on Mnet’s 'Boys II Planet' after finishing in 9th place and narrowly missing the project group lineup.

In a comeback interview for the group’s 4th single album 'Lost and Found', Kangmin shared, “I still don’t know exactly how I felt. I was relieved but disappointed, and honestly scared to start again.” He added that even the so-called “evil editing” and hate comments ended up motivating him: “Every comment gave me strength. I wanted to turn hate into positive energy.”

Leader Dongheon, who also competed on the show before being eliminated in the first ranking, said he regained his performing instincts through the program and leaned on the members for support.

VERIVERY has already renewed their contract with Jellyfish Entertainment. The members shared that the company’s trust gave them confidence for the future.

VERIVERY’s new single 'Lost and Found' marks their first comeback in over two years, featuring three tracks including the title “RED (Beggin’),” which interpolates the classic hit by The Four Seasons. The album drops December 1 at 6 PM KST.
