Perhaps one of the reasons why this has happened over the years is because VAV hasn’t had a proper comeback in a while owing to the military enlistment of various members. The change in their member line-up right at the dawn of their career wasn’t very conducive to their growth either. Nonetheless, VAV persevered, focusing on their music rather than the limiting circumstances, and broke into the mainstream market with their distinct sound. Here’s what the VAV members are up to now!
1. Ziu
On July 12, 2021, Ziu enlisted in the military. He recently posted pictures from the military on his Instagram account to update his fans on how he’s doing. On August 18k, a special video was released on Ziu covering IZI’s ‘Emergency Room’.
2. Ayno
