The Volunteers (Korean: 더 발룬티어스, abbreviated to TVT) is a South Korean rock band originally formed in 2017.[1] Their first EP, Vanity&people, was independently released on September 15, 2018 through YouTube and SoundCloud.[2] Prior their official debut, the group already amassed a fan base, with three million streams on Soundcloud and one million music video views on YouTube.[3]
The band consists of three members: Yerin Baek (vocals, guitar), Jonny (leader, guitar), and Chiheon (drums). Music producer and guitarist Cloud, who was a long-time collaborator of Baek on her solo activities left the band after the official termination of their contract and the closing of their agency Blue Vinyl.[4] The band is currently under the agency peoplelikepeople.[5]
According to Baek, the idea behind the name came from when the other members used to volunteer to help her create music and record without compensation, becoming "the people who volunteer to provide music that can do good for others.”[1][2]
