VERIVERY Reunites with VERRERs After 7 Years at ‘Hello Veri Long Time’ Fanmeeting in Singapore

Singapore, 2026 – After a long seven-year wait, VERIVERY finally returned to Singapore for their first-ever solo fanmeeting, on 3rd January 2026, held to a packed house of eager VERRERs. The night was nothing short of emotional, chaotic, and unforgettable — a heartfelt reunion that perfectly kicked off 2026.

VERIVERY burst onto the stage with fiery performances of ‘Undercover’ and ‘G.B.T.B.’, instantly igniting the arena and setting the tone for the night 🔥🔥. The screams barely died down as the members took a moment to reflect on their return.

Maknae Kangmin fondly recalled their last visit to Singapore in 2019 for HallyuPopFest, noting how meaningful it felt to finally return — this time, for a solo show. Yongseung added that this fanmeeting marked their first performance of the year, making it even more special. He charmed the crowd by wishing fans “新年快乐” (Happy New Year), before playfully asking VERRERs to return the greeting, drawing warm laughter and cheers.

The first interactive segment, [Spin Me Round], quickly became a highlight of the night. As fans enthusiastically chanted “Round and round, spin the wheel!”, VERIVERY tackled a series of surprise missions.

The night kicked off with a dance cover of ENHYPEN’s ‘No Doubt’, where Dongheon cheekily requested Yongseung to repeat his part without his jacket — revealing a wife beater underneath and sending fans into hysterics. Kangmin’s attempt at cute aegyo while dancing to TWS’s ‘Overdrive’ hilariously backfired — the members teased that it looked “accidentally sexy,” a verdict fans wholeheartedly agreed with. Kangmin then challenged Yongseung to raise the bar with Tyla’s ‘Chanel’, sparking wild reactions from the crowd.

Between missions, the members shared what they wished to do in Singapore if they had more time — from eating kaya toast and visiting Universal Studios to simply spending time with fans. Dongheon jokingly commented on Singapore’s warm weather compared to freezing Korea, saying it made him want to strip, instantly sending the arena into chaos.

The fanmeeting continued with powerful unit performances. Yeonho and Yongseung impressed with SEVENTEEN’s ‘Run To You’, showcasing both vocal strength and emotional intensity. Dongheon, Gyehyeon, and Kangmin captivated fans with ONF’s ‘We Must Love’. All five members reunited for a commanding performance of TVXQ’s ‘Rising Sun’, followed seamlessly by ‘RED (Beggin’)’ from their latest release — an explosive sequence that had screams echoing nonstop.

Dongheon surprised fans by removing his jacket to reveal a mesh top — prompting Kangmin to joke about unzipping it, much to the audience’s delight.

The second game segment, [Veri Good Team], saw the members attempt relay challenges and action games. The keyword ‘Prince’ led to one of the night’s funniest moments — Kangmin confused Prince with Princess, dramatically reenacting Snow White and collapsing on the floor while waiting for a kiss, leaving fans in stitches.

When the keyword switched to ‘Aegyo’, Yongseung stunned everyone by striking a cute pose while balancing on one hand. Ultimately, Kangmin and Dongheon received the punishment for making the most mistakes — dancing to ILLIT’s ‘Not Cute Anymore’, followed by Chanel once again due to how “bad” they were, causing absolute pandemonium.

VERIVERY transitioned back into performance mode with ‘Lay Back’, teasing fans about going home while Dongheon jokingly placed confetti under his nose. Kangmin declared that whether fans would actually go home depended on their reactions to their “last” song — ‘All I Do’.

Of course, the night was far from over.

The encore brought nonstop energy with ‘Ring Ring Ring’, ‘Love Line’, ‘Heart Attack’, and ‘Alright’, with fans jumping along in unison. A playful technical mishap during song selection led to Gyehyeon joking that the director would be “scolded big time,” while Kangmin invited him to come dance on stage.

After ‘Childhood’, VERIVERY powered through ‘Mystery Night’, ‘G.B.T.B.’, ‘Trigger’, and ‘Ring Ring Ring’, once more, refusing to slow down. “We don’t have time to take a break!” Yongseung shouted, perfectly capturing their relentless energy.

Before the mandatory group photo, a surprise fan project video played, thanking VERIVERY for returning after seven years. Touched, the members apologised for making fans wait so long. Dongheon jokingly lamented that the emotional video ruined their plan to take a photo during peak hype, prompting everyone to laugh together.

Yongseung delivered his final message in English, while Kangmin asked fans to promise they would return when VERIVERY comes back to Singapore again. The night closed beautifully with ‘Fine’, sealing a perfect ending to an unforgettable reunion.

VERIVERY’s fan service proved to be on another level. From filming on fans’ phones on stage, tossing towels and capsule balls into the crowd, every gesture felt personal and sincere. These moments went beyond typical fan interactions, creating lasting memories and reinforcing the deep bond between VERIVERY and VERRERs.

Hello Veri Long Time wasn’t just a fanmeeting — it was a celebration of patience, loyalty, and love. Truly, it was the perfect way to kick off 2026 with VERIVERY. 💜
