Boy band WayV define their brand, and share thoughts on Kick Back album, raising cats and a dog, and their growth as a group
- The group took a more hands-on role on ‘Kick Back’, and band member Yangyang says the EP shows ‘how WayV can do so many different genres and still sound good’
- Winwin says WayV cannot wait for the pandemic to end so they can put on a performance for fans who ‘have been looking forward to and waiting for all this time’
If you look up the word “WayV” in a dictionary in 20 years, it’ll probably be a synonym for chaos.
The seven twenty-somethings – Yangyang’s the youngest, born in October 2000 – also all live in a dorm together with two cats – Louis and Leon – and a dog – Bella – and really love sharing that aspect of their lives with fans through social media, since it helps WayV enjoy time at home.
“It’s very busy to have seven guys in the same dorm, and then it might get messy with the pets but it’s a very cosy house,” says Ten, who grew up with many pets.
“The more mess, the more cosiness, I think. For me, having the two cute kitties and a puppy was life-changing because it feels like home now. When you’re so tired after work, you just go home and meet them, it feels way better. It feels I’m really resting right now. I’m home.”
