The Volunteers: Band's Journey

The Volunteers, or TVT as they're known by their fans (Korean: 더 발룬티어스; Japanese: ザバランティアス), have taken the alternative rock world since they burst onto the scene in 2018 with the digital single "Violet". Based in Seoul, South Korea, the band is a powerhouse trio featuring the multi-talented Yerin Baek on vocals and guitar, Jonny, whose intricate riffs add depth to their sound, and Chiheon Kim, whose drumming brings an unstoppable energy to their music. From the beginning, The Volunteers embraced a DIY approach, self-producing and sharing their demos on SoundCloud, where their raw, authentic sound quickly struck a chord with listeners, garnering over 3 million streams. Their homemade music video further solidified their growing fan base, hitting over a million views even before they officially debuted.

2021 was a pivotal year for The Volunteers, as they made their official debut with the self-titled album "The Volunteers." The album received widespread applause and earned them three nominations at the prestigious Korean Music Awards (Artist of the Year, Best Modern Rock Song and Best Modern Rock Album) highlighting the impact they've made in such a short time. Their music blends alternative rock with hints of indie and grunge, creating a sound that's both nostalgic and refreshingly unique. That same year, their first headlining show, "Join the TVT Club," was a resounding success, with all nights selling out, a clear witness to the band's appeal and the dedication of their fans.

Building on their debut's momentum, The Volunteers released a single, "New Plant," in 2022, once again capturing their audience's hearts. This release coincided with their second headlining show, "This is TVT Club," which, like its predecessor, sold out entirely, further establishing the band's rising status in the music industry. The Volunteers have not only become a dominant force in South Korea but are also gaining international attention, as the impact from electrifying live performances and their deep emotional connection with fans. Their journey from uploading demos on SoundCloud to selling out major shows is a true witness to their dedication, creativity, and the powerful bond they've built with their audience.
