After Baby Monster, the company's MEOVV, headed by producer Teddy, is now considered the next girl group to succeed Blackpink.
Although not a group that debuted directly under YG Entertainment, MEOVV members also have a special connection with Blackpink.
Previously, MEOVV member Ella Gross was known as a trainee who was very close to Blackpink. She was called "little Jennie" by the media.
This June, Rosé signed a solo contract with Teddy's company The Black Label , half a year after separating from YG. Therefore, Rosé became MEOVV's senior in The Black Label.
During a recent press conference to launch their debut song, MEOVV member Gawon shared about the “On The Ground” singer giving advice to the group before their debut.
“Rosé sunbaenim shared a lot of wonderful things with our group. She emphasized the importance of loving music deeply and absorbing everything when you have the time and opportunity to fully immerse yourself in it.
Those are the words I remember the most. I was really impressed by the sincerity and great respect she had for music" - Gawon shared.
MEOVV also mentioned Jeon Somi as a "spiritual pillar" who always cheers for her junior group.
Gawon also did not forget to thank producer Teddy because he was the one who gave the group strength: "Instead of giving advice, producer Teddy always pays attention to the little things that we may not have thought of.
We are very grateful that he discussed every detail with us. I really respect him. All the words in the conversations with him have become a great motivation for us.
He said, “The most important thing is that we must always be happy, joyful and enjoy the stage, because we have worked hard to achieve this dream.”
The group MEOVV consists of 5 members Ella, Gawon, Sooin, Anna and Narin, officially debuted on September 6, 2024 with their debut song "MEOW".
The MV "MEOW" has attracted 6 million views on YouTube, reaching Top 1 Korean YouTube trends and Top 2 global trends, after 1 day of release. While this song has not been able to enter the top Korean music chart, Melon Top 100.
