VVS (Korean: 븨븨에스) is a South Korean girl group formed by MZMC Inc. The group is composed of four members: Brittney, Rana, Liwon, and Lena. The group debuted in 2025 with their single album Tea.

Name

VVS's name is mainly a reference to the highest grade of diamond clarity according to the modern GIA diamond grading system.[1] The name also stands for "5 vs.", with V being roman numeral 5, meaning to go against, as the girls see themselves as more powerful together as one group.[2]
