SEVENTEEN Joshua and Vernon Gave a Sweet Performance at 'OPEN MIC'
The two members of SEVENTEEN appeared on "OPEN MIC" of Genius, the biggest music-specialized digital platform in the United States on November 10. For the first time "2 MINUS 1" was performed live.
Joshua and Vernon performed on a rooftop with a panoramic view of Seoul in the background and they caught the viewers' attention with their visuals and vocals.
"2 MINUS 1" is a pop punk genre song that maximizes the confused feelings about someone who is loved, which are unbeatable with vintage drum sounds and intense guitar sounds. It also relieves the wounds and sad feelings of parting. It has a bright melody and the contrasting expression of a man that pretends to be calm with the witty lyrics of "2 MINUS 1."
