MEOVV member's return causes concern, discovered "imitating" BLACKPINK?

After a long period of silence, MEOVV member returned with the news that he became the ambassador of a luxury brand. But this also raised concerns in the fan community.

Accordingly, Prada's official social media account has just announced: "Gawon, a Korean singer and member of the Kpop group MEOVV, is the brand ambassador of Prada". This is also the latest move of the Italian fashion house after announcing the end of cooperation with Kim Soo Hyun.

For her part, as soon as her new identity was confirmed, Gawon expressed her excitement on Marieclaire Korea: "I am honored and excited to join Prada as an ambassador. I have always admired Prada's sensibility and philosophy, so I am happy to accompany this brand on my journey."

Gawon is a rare case of signing a luxury brand ambassador contract in a short time. Just 5 months after her debut, she received an invitation to attend Prada's Fall Winter 2025 show, part of Milan Fashion Week. The rookie had an impressive "debut", appearing full of personality and charm in the Italian fashion house's outfits.

Not long ago, the MEOVV member showed signs of contact with Prada when she wore the brand's outfit on the cover of W Korea magazine. She was praised for her model-like figure and charisma, and for being able to "carry" many styles of clothing from simple to sophisticated and unique by the Italian fashion house.

However, Gawon joining the ranks of Prada ambassadors along with many Korean stars at this time has caused heated discussions in the community. Because this is the brand that attracts the most attention amid the shocking noise of Kim Soo Hyun.

Not to mention, the Italian fashion house has had many ambassadors involved in scandals in the past such as Trinh Sang, Ngo Diec Pham, Ly Dich Phong, Thai Tu Khon, Kha Chan Dong, Chanyeol (EXO), Irene (Red Velvet)... Therefore, when a MEOVV member was "chosen" by the luxury brand, it made a part of fans worry about whether there was some "conspiracy theory" or not.

However, signing an ambassadorial contract with Prada will certainly help Gawon raise his profile, especially in the context of Kpop artists increasingly proving their influence in the fashion industry. Fashionistas also responded positively to this new young ambassador.

Besides, many opinions say that, although MEOVV operates under the management of The Black Label (starting out as a subsidiary of YG, Rosé's "new home") founded by "music wizard" Teddy, the group's development direction has many similarities with the path YG has built for BLACKPINK.

Each MEOVV member has started their own exposure to luxury brands. In addition to Gawon with Prada, Elle also made headlines when she attended the Miu Miu show at Paris Fashion Week in March, and appeared at a Tiffany & Co event in Korea. Members Anna, Narin and Sooin have been expose.d to Celine, Dior and Bottega Veneta respectively.

This is similar to BLACKPINK, when the 4 female idols are the faces of top luxury brands. Specifically, Rosé is the ambassador of Saint Laurent and Tiffany & Co, Lisa represents Louis Vuitton and Bvlgari. While Jisoo is the "princess of Dior" and Cartier, and Jennie is the ambassador of Chanel. If MEOVV really follows the path of their seniors, there is nothing wrong, the important thing is whether they are successful or not.

A brief introduction about Gawon. The new ambassador, Para, was born in 2005 and is Korean-American and grew up in the US. When she moved to Korea, she appeared in many cosmetic and magazine advertisements as a teenage model thanks to her impressive height of 1m75.

Gawon was named in the debut lineup with MEOVV at the ag.e of 19. To achieve the opportunity to debut, she had to practice hard for 8 years. From the very beginning, the female idol was noticed for her beautiful, cinematic face. Especially her captivating eyes and balanced proportions.

In side-angle photos, Gawon is also said to look quite similar to "plastic surgery queen" Park Min Young. With her current appeal, she is expected to be the new idol to replace BLACKPINK's Rosé in the future.
