After being a fan since GFRIEND’s debut, Lil Uzi Vert was finally able to meet three of the former members, Eunha, Umji, and SinB, who formed their own successful group, VIVIZ, in 2022.
The three members were there to support Lil Uzi Vert when they performed at the One Universe Festival 2023 in Seoul on October 9, 2023.
VIVIZ recently made their comeback with their fourth mini-album VERSUS and appeared on the variety program Curator to answer questions about their new music, their time promoting with GFRIEND, and more.
