<\/figure>\n\n\n\nA pop punk song delivered in a tone of raw openness to the backdrop of a rhythmic and airy instrumental, \u201cBlack Eye\u201d tells the story of an adolescent trying to cope with the constantly changing world around him. The accompanying music video visually amplifies the sense of loneliness, rebelliousness and self-doubt one experiences in the course of growth, reminiscent of footage captured with a hand-held camcorder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
VERNON is the third member of the 13-piece act to release a mixtape as a part of their \u2018The Thirteen Tapes\u2019 series, following HOSHI\u2019s \u201cSpider\u201d in April 2021 and WOOZI\u2019s \u201cRuby\u201d in January 2022.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While being a member of SEVENTEEN\u2019s Hip-hop unit, VERNON also continues to venture outside of the group, shedding light to his flair as a solo artist. He collaborated with Charli XCX for a remix of \u201cBeg For You\u201d earlier this year in February, and was featured in Omega Sapien’s \u201cWrecker\u201d in June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“Black Eye” is available on global streaming platforms including iTunes, Spotify, Apple Music as well as SoundCloud.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
