[edit]

The group's name, Meovv, is an acronym for "My Eyes Open VVide".[1] Member Ella responded to expressing the team name's "W" with two 'V's, saying, "I wanted to give visual fun," and "I liked it better because it felt like it represented each of the members".[2]

History

[edit]

Pre-debut activities and formation

[edit]

Most members of Meovv held prior experience in entertainment, modeling, music, and dance, prior to their acceptance into The Black Label. American model Ella Gross entered the industry at age two and has been featured on several fashion campaigns such as Zara, H&M, and GAP.[3][4] Gawon was a former YG Entertainment trainee and a former model who starred in Adidas ads.[5][6] Japanese member Anna Tanaka started her career as a child model and was an exclusive model for Seventeen Japan from October 2019 to December 2021.[6]

In March 2024, the agency announced its plans to launch a new girl group in the first half of 2024.[7] In March, it was revealed that The Black Label applied for the trademark "Méovv" across multiple categories, suggesting its potential use for their new girl group.[5]
