MEOVV debuts 2nd member, competing for the position of "BLACKPINK's little sister" with BABYMONSTER

After rookie group MEOVV announced their members one by one, a series of comparisons with BABYMONSTER were discussed. Among them, the title "BLACKPINK's little sister" is attracting the most attention.

The Black Label - Teddy 's label has officially introduced its rookie girl group project. The first group to debut under The Black Label is called MEOVV, along with a video revealing the group's logo. The group's name is pronounced like the sound a cat makes "meow", and is accompanied by 5 black cats that are said to represent the 5 members.

After announcing member Ella as the first to be introduced to the public. Recently, the introduction video of the second confirmed member of The Black Label's upcoming girl group MEOVV after Ella has caught the attention of the audience.

The video comes with the message: "If I had to choose between the two, I already know my answer."

Gawon (Chloe Lee) is a Korean-American born in 2005. She trained at YG for 5 years. At that time, Gawon trained with Danielle (member of NewJeans) at YG. She then left around 2021 and joined The Black Label.

Gawon used to be a model, appearing in commercials for clothing and cosmetics brands. MEOVV's introductory video also proves that the female idol has an impressive height (1m75), showing off her long legs and well-proportioned figure.

Previously, right after The Black Label officially announced the debut of the new girl group MEOVV in the second half of 2024, many predicted information about the group and its members began to attract the audience's attention.

According to Korean media, out of the five members, four will be overseas Koreans and one will be domestic Korean. Famous The Black Label trainees Ella Gross (Korean-German American), Bailey Sok (Korean-American), and Chloe Lee (Korean-American) could be three of the four overseas Korean members.

MEOVV (pronounced mee-ya-oh in Korean), launched their official SNS (social media platform debut) on August 16, Korean time, and revealed their group name and logo.

The group's motion logo features a cat paw decorated with glittering accessories. The logo's eye-catching features are its sharp claws, which allude to MEOVV's cute yet dangerous personality.

Recently, on the Korean online community Pann Nate, a post titled "BABYMONSTER is in big trouble" attracted the attention and discussion of netizens.

The poster wrote: "BABYMONSTER has a hard time swallowing the domestic fandom pie, because the current 4th generation groups are too active, so they have to focus on foreign fans. But now the good reputation that BABYMONSTER enjoys from BLACKPINK will probably be transferred to MEOVV" - referring to the upcoming girl group of The Black Label, a company run by producer Teddy.

Similar to the title "BLACKPINK's little sister", many viewers agree that MEOVV deserves this title more than BABYMONSTER. This person added: "MEOVV's image is also very suitable. Meanwhile, BABYMONSTER, although promoted as the "BLACKPINK's little sister" group, does not look very compatible.

As for MEOVV, at first glance, they look like BLACKPINK's little sister group. They create a crazy aura, so they probably have a lot of potential as luxury brand ambassadors."

Because MEOVV was created by producer Teddy, who directed the music and visuals. This is similar to BLACKPINK, the group's music is mostly produced by Teddy, which is also the factor that creates BLACKPINK's identity.

While BABYMONSTER was executive producer Yang Hyun Suk's involvement, Teddy was not involved.

BABYMONSTER is also facing a big challenge when the group's songs are not received by the public as expected. Without the hand of "musical wizard" Teddy, BABYMONSTER's products are commented to be unattractive, not promoting the YG identity of previous girl groups such as 2NE1 and BLACKPINK.

Some other opinions say that MEOVV has only debuted the first 2 members so it is not possible to make an overall assessment. We need to wait for the group's official lineup and music products, then we can determine whether MEOVV is really "BLACKPINK's little sister" or not.
