VERIVERY Turns Ordinary Days Into Something Special With Eighth Mini Album ‘CONFETTI’ and ‘Don’t Panic!’ [WATCH]

VERIVERY is inviting fans to look at everyday life a little differently with the release of their eighth mini album, CONFETTI. The group dropped the new project on Monday, September 7, led by the title track “Don’t Panic!”, a song that encourages listeners to step away from the repetitive rhythm of daily life and appreciate the moment they are living in.

The new release takes a noticeably playful approach to that message. Instead of presenting happiness as something that requires a major event or dramatic change, CONFETTI focuses on the smaller experiences that can make an ordinary day feel memorable.

Kangmin also has a writing credit on the title track, adding another personal touch to the latest VERIVERY release. The songwriting contribution comes during a period in which the member has continued expanding his creative activities outside the group’s music.

‘Don’t Panic!’ Finds Fun in Everyday

At the center of CONFETTI is “Don’t Panic!”, which carries the album’s central idea into its lyrics and overall presentation.

The song encourages listeners to take a step back from the repetitive nature of everyday routines rather than becoming overwhelmed by them. Its message is less about escaping ordinary life and more about recognizing the small moments that can make it enjoyable.

That philosophy is reflected throughout the mini album. Rather than building its concept around one huge celebration, VERIVERY presents happiness as something that can gradually accumulate through simple pleasures.

The title CONFETTI itself fits that approach, suggesting scattered little moments coming together to create something bigger. Each experience may seem insignificant on its own, but together, they can change the mood of an otherwise ordinary day.

Music Video Takes Quirky Turn

The music video for “Don’t Panic!” brings that message to life through a series of deliberately unusual and lighthearted situations.

Instead of relying entirely on glamorous sets or dramatic storylines, the members find themselves involved in a collection of low-stakes, unexpected scenes. At one point, they wave handmade cheering gloves while standing on a construction site, turning an otherwise ordinary environment into something playful.

Another sequence takes the members to a bathhouse, where they play table tennis after riding motorcycles. The unexpected combination of locations and activities gives the video a deliberately chaotic charm while reinforcing the idea that fun can be found almost anywhere.

The video’s humor also complements the title. Rather than treating “panic” as something frightening, VERIVERY turns it into part of the fun, allowing the members to approach the concept with a lighter attitude.

Teaser Sets the Tone Before the Release

VERIVERY spent late August and early September building anticipation for CONFETTI with a series of promotional materials.

The rollout included concept photographs as well as two video teasers for “Don’t Panic!” The concept photos moved between playful styling and sharper, more polished looks, giving fans different glimpses of the members before the album arrived.

The first video teaser also hinted at the song’s humorous approach. Instead of presenting the title’s message in a serious or heavy way, the clip played with the idea of panic for laughs.

By the time the full music video arrived alongside the album, the group had already established the lighthearted atmosphere that defines the project.

Kangmin Continues His Creative Growth

Kangmin’s involvement in “Don’t Panic!” is another notable element of the comeback.

The member contributed to the writing of the title track, following a period in which he has increasingly explored his own artistic identity. Earlier this year, Kangmin released “Free Falling,” marking a personal milestone seven years after his debut with VERIVERY.

His latest songwriting credit shows that his creative role within the group continues to develop. Rather than simply performing the finished material, Kangmin is now contributing to the process of shaping the music itself.

That makes his involvement in the title track particularly fitting, given the song’s focus on finding meaning and enjoyment in everyday experiences.

VERIVERY Wants Fans to Slow Down

With CONFETTI, VERIVERY is not presenting happiness as something complicated.

The album instead asks listeners to slow down and recognize the smaller things that often disappear beneath the routine of everyday life. Whether it is an unexpected laugh, spending time with friends or simply enjoying an ordinary moment, the group’s latest concept suggests that those experiences can be worth celebrating.

“Don’t Panic!” takes that message and turns it into something energetic and entertaining, while the album as a whole expands the idea across its tracklist.

After years of developing their sound and identity, VERIVERY’s eighth mini album offers the group an opportunity to embrace a lighter side of their music. With its playful music video, colorful promotional campaign and Kangmin’s growing songwriting involvement, CONFETTI arrives as a reminder that sometimes the best way to make an ordinary day memorable is simply to stop, enjoy it and let yourself have a little fun.
