Meovv

Meovv is a five-member South Korean girl group under The Black Label. The group consists of Sooin, Gawon, Anna, Narin, and Ella. They are co-promoted internationally through a global partnership with Capitol Records.

Meovv is famous for its darker, R&B-infused pop sound that stands apart from the brighter concepts of many rookie groups. The group has achieved notable early success: its debut single "Meow" quickly charted on Korean streaming platforms, the debut EP MY EYES OPEN VVIDE (released 2025) features tracks such as "Toxic" and "Lit Right Now," and the members earned their first music show win with "Hands Up" roughly 244 days after debut. Their multinational composition and association with producer Teddy Park have established them as one of the most anticipated rookie acts of the 2020s.

Today Meovv maintains an active presence with a dedicated global fandom known as PAWMPAWM. The group continues to release music and perform while cultivating a distinctive identity that blends sophisticated musicality with international appeal.[تعديل]

Meovv, a five-member South Korean girl group originating from Seoul, was conceived and brought to life under the guidance of legendary producer Teddy Park and his label, The Black Label. Park personally undertook the selection of each member, handpicking them for their unique talents and potential even before they had ever met one another. The group's name, Meovv (pronounced "Meow"; Korean: 미야오), is an acronym for "My Eyes Open VVide," with the double 'V' intentionally added for visual flair and to represent the distinctive vision of each member. From its inception, Meovv was envisioned to deliver a darker, R&B-infused pop sound, setting them apart from the brighter concepts often seen in rookie groups.

The five women, Sooin, Gawon, Anna, Narin, and Ella, were essentially strangers when they began their rigorous training together under The Black Label. Their individual backgrounds were remarkably diverse, forming a multinational composition that would become a hallmark of the group. Ella Gross, an American, had already established herself as a model since the tender age of two, with campaigns for global brands like Zara and GAP throughout her childhood. Gawon, born in New Jersey, brought experience as a former YG Entertainment trainee and an Adidas model. Anna, who is Japanese, had a significant modeling career as an exclusive model for Seventeen Japan. Completing the lineup, Korean members Sooin and Narin contributed strong dance and performance backgrounds. This blend of international experience and Teddy Park's renowned pedigree immediately positioned Meovv as one of the most anticipated rookie acts of the 2020s.

Anticipation for the group began to build in early 2024 when rumored trainee photos circulated online. These images sparked significant interest, featuring well-known figures such as choreographer Bailey Sok and actress Ella Gross, alongside Annie Moon, the granddaughter of Shinsegae chairwoman Lee Myung-hee. However, following Annie's reported departure from the pre-debut lineup, The Black Label officially unveiled the final five-member group in August 2024. This grand introduction revealed the confirmed lineup of Ella, Gawon, Sooin, Anna, and Narin, and simultaneously announced the group's name, Meovv. In the same month, The Black Label solidified Meovv's global reach by announcing a partnership with Capitol Records for international co-promotion . Just one month later, on September 6, 2024, Meovv made their official debut with the digital single "Meow." The debut song quickly resonated with audiences, charting rapidly on Korean streaming platforms and signalling strong early interest, marking the beginning of their journey in the highly competitive K-pop industry.[تعديل]

Meovv's music, shaped by Teddy Park, leans into a darker, more R&B-infused pop style compared to many K-pop girl groups. Their debut EP MY EYES OPEN VVIDE was described as polished and glossy, with tracks like "Toxic" and "Lit Right Now" hinting at a willingness to branch beyond safe pop formulas. The group's debut single "Meow" includes the lyric "Wons and yens and dollars / Comma, comma, comma," reflecting their global, cosmopolitan identity.

Members have said they enjoy experimenting with different genres and languages during recording sessions. Gawon noted they've been "recording a lot of different songs" and "experimenting with a lot of genres" since their trainee days. While their early output is tightly produced, the group shows potential for a more eclectic sound as they evolve. Other songs on the EP include "Body" and "Hands Up."[تعديل]

Meovv's multinational composition, members from South Korea, the United States, and Japan, positions them as a globally-oriented group from the start. Three members (Ella, Gawon, Anna) were child models, bringing significant fashion industry connections. Ella Gross has been featured on campaigns for Zara, H&M, and GAP. Gawon starred in Adidas ads. Anna was an exclusive model for Seventeen Japan.

The group received a notable co-sign from BLACKPINK's Rosé, adding to their credibility and pre-debut anticipation. Their debut song's lyric about "Wons and yens and dollars" explicitly references their multinational identity, a rare move for a rookie group. As The Black Label's first girl group, Meovv carries the weight of Teddy Park's legacy while forging their own path. The group has been featured in interviews with Teen Vogue, The FADER, and The Hollywood Reporter.[تعديل]

اسم المعجبين الرسمي لفرقة Meovv هو PAWMPAWM، وهو تلاعب باسم الفرقة ذي الطابع القططي. اعتبارًا من عام 2025، لم يتم الإعلان عن عصا إضاءة رسمية أو ألوان رسمية للمعجبين، ولا يزال مجتمع المعجبين يطور تقاليده. نظرًا لأول ظهور حديث للفرقة، فإن مشاريع المعجبين وأنشطة المجتمع لا تزال في مراحلها الأولى، لكن PAWMPAWM أظهرت بالفعل دعمًا قويًا من خلال البث والتصويت للفوز في عروض الموسيقى. لم تبدأ الفرقة جولة كاملة بعد، لكن العضوة Anna أعربت عن هدفها بلقاء المعجبين في جميع أنحاء العالم.[تعديل]

Meovv تعني "My Eyes Open VVide" بحرفي 'V' بدلًا من 'W' للمتعة البصرية وتمثيل كل عضو. اجتمع الأعضاء الخمسة لأول مرة فقط بعد اختيارهم من قبل Teddy Park، وكانوا غرباء عندما بدأوا التدريب معًا. كانت Sooin معروفة باسم "Swim Kim" خلال أيام تدريبها. تتحمل الفرقة بانتظام تصوير مقاطع فيديو موسيقية طويلة؛ ذكرت Gawon تصويرًا دام 14 ساعة، ووصفَت Ella كيف يتعاملن مع الأمر بقولهن "نصبح مجانين ونبدأ في إطلاق النكات حول كل شيء". Meovv هي أول فرقة فتيات لـ The Black Label، على الرغم من أن Teddy Park أنتج سابقًا جزءًا كبيرًا من أعمال BLACKPINK. تتحدث الأعضاء الكورية والإنجليزية واليابانية. وصفت Gawon آلية التأقلم لديهن بأنها "احتضان الوهم". تقدم Narin نفسها باسم Lyn، وتُعرف Gawon أيضًا باسم Chloe.[تعديل]
