On June 16, YG Entertainment announced the second piece in a 4-member girl group preparing to debut.
The face introduced is trainee Chanya, 14 years old, from Thailand. In the first video, Chanya covered Malaysia Rodrigo's "The Grudge".
She showed off her powerful voice and smooth English singing ability. At the same time, Chanya's choice of performance outfit and hairstyle are also commented to be quite simple, suitable for age.
Under the video, many comments said that Chanya's appearance and face are similar to Baby Monster member Pharita.
Thus, YG has to date the 4th artist from Thailand, after Lisa, Chiquita and Pharita.
According to information from YG, Chanya was born on November 25, 2010. She is 1m68 tall and can speak 3 languages - Thai, English, Korean.
In terms of personality, Chanya belongs to the "inningstrate" group INTJ. She is described as a person of "calm confidence, strength and determination".
Chanya has been an intern at YG for 2 years and 8 months. In the new group, she will focus on taking on the role of the group's vocalist.
Previously, YG announced its first member, Evelli, born in the same year as Chanya. The third and fourth members will be revealed in the second half of this year.
YG has not announced the exact time of this girl group's debut. However, according to the media, YG is unlikely to launch a new group this year, but will instead reserve it for next year's schedule.
Because executive producer Yang Hyun Suk once stated that YG will focus on the development of Baby Monster throughout 2025. Up to now, Baby Monster has only been active for 1 year and 2 months.
2025 is also the year that Blackpink will return with a full lineup of 4 members (Jisoo, Jennie, Lisa, Rose). In addition to releasing new songs, Blackpink is also busy with a world tour, starting in July.
With the first 2 members outstanding in singing and style, YG's new girl group is expected to continue the success of previous girl groups, especially 2NE1 and Blackpink. Because YG has been very "hand-working" in creating 2 famous 4-member girl groups worldwide.
