"Rosé's younger sister" group declares war on BABYMONSTER, causing a stir before debut

Not long after Rosé joined, The Black Label announced the debut of a new girl group called MEOVV. Not stopping there, the company also released a series of brand new information about its "rookies".

Accordingly, on August 16, The Black Label - Teddy's record label officially introduced the rookie girl group project named MEOVV (pronounced mee-ya-oh in Korean), along with a video revealing the logo. This is the first group to debut under producer Park.

In particular, the group's name is pronounced like a cat's "meow" and the moving logo is a cat's paw decorated with sparkling accessories. The logo's main attraction is the sharp claws, implying MEOVV's lovely but dangerous personality.

In another moving teaser posted by The Black Label on the same day, five black cats are seen sitting on top of the company's building, possibly referring to the five-member lineup. The group is expected to debut in the second half of 2024.

Although there is not much information yet, MEOVV has quickly gained a significant number of fans. Since the beginning of this year, the revelations about The Black Label's "thousand-blooded rookie" project have caused a stir among the public. Because this is the first group personally "sponsored" by Teddy Park - YG's "own" Producer, behind the success of 2NE1 and BLACKPINK.

In the past, The Black Label was a label affiliated with YG, but since mid-2023, there have been many rumors surrounding Teddy's decreasing dependence on the "big guy" of the Korean entertainment industry. He also completely withdrew from the debut project BABYMONSTER.

Many fans predict that this is the move to prove that The Black Label has "gone solo". Even many stars who left YG such as: Taeyang (BIGBANG), Rosé (BLACKPINK) also chose to join Teddy. Therefore, the first girl group of this company is considered a direct competitor to BABYMONSTER.

Just by introducing their name, logo and identity, MEOVV was immediately compared to the "little sister" group BLACKPINK. Notably, netizens pointed out that Teddy's rookie has similarities with the 7 girls from YG. The proof is that their stylized cat paw logo is reminiscent of the "little monster" hand symbol that symbolizes BABYMONSTER.

This immediately caused a heated discussion in the Kpop fan community. Many people thought that Teddy would debut a girl group with a mischievous, unique concept that would not even be afraid to "clash" with YG's rookies.

However, it is still too early to confirm anything at this point. Because the cat paw symbol is quite popular. In addition to BABYMONSTER, this type of handsign is also used by SEVENTEEN member Hoshi. He even "promoted" this gesture as a symbol for the famous "Tiger Party" in Kpop.

Putting the concept aside, MEOVV's lineup is also extremely curious. Initially, this girl group was predicted to have Annie Moon - the daughter of Shinsegae Group debut. The fact that a tycoon debuted as an idol quickly caused a stir on social media.

However, not long ago, the rumor of Annie Moon's debut was denied. The two remaining promising faces are Ella Gross - the most beautiful child model in the world and famous choreographer Bailey Sok - who created choreography for aespa, Lisa (BLACKPINK).

Among them, Ella Gross is the most likely to debut. She is considered "Jennie's younger sister" with outstanding appearance and promising talent. It is known that she joined The Black Label in 2018 and began training to become an idol.

Previously, Rosé (BLACKPINK) was confirmed to join producer Teddy's company after separating from YG Entertainment. The Black Label announced: "Producer Teddy and Rosé have worked together for a long time and based on strong mutual trust, we signed a contract with Rosé.

Currently, Rosé is preparing to release new music products to meet fans and will participate in international music activities through global record labels. With Rosé's unique musical color and the support of The Black Label, we expect a great combination. We promise to provide maximum support so that Rosé can develop her career in more diverse fields."
