YG Entertainment is preparing to launch a new girl group that will carry on the lineage of BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER, and interest in the first revealed trainee, EVELLI, is heating up. She is an all-rounder capable of both singing and rapping, possesses dance skills, and has complete visuals, predicting the birth of a perfect 'hexagonal idol'.
YG Entertainment (hereinafter YG) posted on its official blog on the 28th of last month 'YG NEXT MONSTER | EVELLI - 'Nosebleeds' and released EVELLI's live video as the first trainee of the new girl group. Starting with EVELLI, the strategy was to officially announce the launch of the new girl group and focus the attention of fans worldwide.
EVELLI, revealed as the first trainee of the new girl group, showcased a live video capturing the month-end evaluation conducted every month, reflecting YG's hip-hop identity. She drew attention with a lovely visual reminiscent of BLACKPINK's Jennie and appealed with a contrasting charm through her mid-low voice. The dynamic sound variations and excellent control of tempo impressed with her fast-paced rapping matching the speeding beat, demonstrating her ability to switch gears.
EVELLI is a natural all-rounder, excelling not only in singing and rapping but also in performance. Amid intense interest, she made her presence felt once again through a dance performance video released today (11th). In this video, EVELLI performed to AGNEZ MO and Ciara's 'Get Loose.' As the song played, she immediately donned intense charisma, showcasing stylish gestures. Her heavy and powerful dance lines, along with smooth body control and a sense of groove, overwhelmingly captured attention.
Above all, EVELLI drew focus with her rich expressiveness, which is hard to believe for someone aged 15, from rapping to performance. She perfectly showcased not only her ability to immerse herself in music but also her rich expressiveness and delicate tempo control. With a relaxed and confident expression, EVELLI effectively highlighted her strengths.
In particular, EVELLI stands out as an all-round trainee equipped with the perfect four elements of rap, song, performance, and visuals. It is also reported that she possesses various language skills, including Korean, English, and Spanish. This suggests the birth of a perfect 'hexagonal idol' with clear star quality and potential.
As the first trainee of YG's new girl group project, EVELLI has already generated explosive interest among fans. Her first video surpassed 10 million views within a week of its release and currently exceeds 17 million views. The newly opened YouTube channel has also gained over 150,000 subscribers. This achievement for a trainee who has not yet debuted is quite unusual, and it confirms the global fans' expectations for YG's new girl group.
Yang Hyun-suk, the chief producer at YG, also highly valued EVELLI's potential and expressed expectations. He reportedly said to those around him, 'EVELLI seems like an impressive talent with unparalleled star quality among the trainees I have seen.'
As EVELLI has clearly made her mark as an all-round trainee with capabilities in singing, rapping, dancing, and visuals, interest in YG's new girl group project is expected to become even more intense.
