VANNER's Taehwan and Gon are set to release "All I Want For Christmas is You" on December 16. The song is part of a global carol project conducted by MF International and will be exclusively available on various platforms. Taehwan and Gon have been recruited as the first vocalists for the project. 

VANNER, a five-member group debuted on February 14, 2019, and gained recognition once again by winning on JTBC's PEAK TIME which broadcast from February 2023. Taehwan, as the leader and main vocalist, has earned love from fans with his wide vocal range delivering a strong vocal style with his flawless voice. Gon, on the other hand, holds the positions of the main rapper, main dancer, and vocalist, showcasing versatility in visuals, physicality, rap, and dance and marking his all-around position within VANNER. This winter, the two will release a carol together, becoming Santa’s returning a gift to their fans the love they've received. 

"All I Want For Christmas is You" by Taehwan and Gon is a reinterpretation of Mariah Carey's carol that has been loved worldwide. Combining Taehwan's vocals and with Gon's rap-making, they infuse the song with VANNER's lively vibe.

Producer GLODY, who has arranged “All I Want For Christmas is You,” described the overall introduction of the song, stating, "In the arrangement of the song, VANNER, the PEAK TIME winner, reinterprets “All I Want For Christmas is You” in their own unique style, providing a unique feel to the song for many people." Continuing, he mentioned, "Especially, the rap part, not present in the original, was directly written by Gon, showing VANNER's distinctive color." The tight guitar play, chimes, and the highlighted real brass in this song allow you to feel the festive atmosphere of Christmas even more. The vibrant saxophone solo adds an extra touch, creating a song that lets you experience VANNER's refreshing Christmas carol. 

MF International, which organized the season project, invited Taehwan and Gon to participate in this special event, believing that VANNER's high vocal range and powerful vocal color can bring freshness to the song. They express excitement for the energetic voices of Taehwan and Gon in "All I Want For Christmas is You," which can be enjoyed on various platforms such as Apple Music, Spotify, and more.
