.WayV_official's Kun, Ten, Xiaojun, Hendery and YangYang sit down with Dazed to discuss their story, their new single and the night they all ended up in tears
But it wouldn’t be WayV if there was a constant consensus. After all, off-stage, their USP is a chaotic, sibling-like camaraderie. They’re earnestly serious one moment, chattering over each other the next. If a question isn’t fully understood in English, they move to Korean while whispering footnotes to each other in Mandarin, a concerto of raised eyebrows, sidelong glances, and laughter muffled by jumper sleeves.
Instead, they find agreement on the lavish, romantic thematics as “an old, cool kind of style” and on the difficulty of wearing handfuls of heavily jewelled, full-finger rings. “They’re so hard to dance in,” Ten laughs. “We kept scratching ourselves. They hurt too, we had to tighten them up or they’d come off when we danced. Sometimes they would just break, sometimes they’d fly off around the set. We have so many takes where we have to stop in the middle and fix them.
The symbolism of swords, at least in tarot, is of change and courage but also planning, problems and struggle, something WayV identifies with. “I feel like this song represents our hardships that we’ve passed through for the past two years,” says Ten. YangYang, his white hair tucked under a blue-grey cap, nods. “The mask, it’s a symbol too. Finally we take off our mask, showing everyone who we are.
Hendery, the 23-year-old rapper whose upbeat energy is laced with a surrealist sense of humour, emerges from the depths of his hoodie. “I think so too, I agree!” he blurts loudly, making Ten and Kun, WayV’s leader, smile. “I think our lives are so full of ups and downs, we need to be brave to face the facts, to face any trouble,” he continues, as Xiaojun nods sagely.
