On Friday, August 23, the renowned K-pop agency THE BLACK LABEL released an exclusive trailer to introduce the second member of the upcoming girl group MEOVV. The new Korean-American member is Lee Gawon, also known as Gawon. Lee Gawon, a former YG Entertainment trainee and model, has now joined MEOVV under THE BLACK LABEL.
In the first part of her introductory video released by the label, Gawon was dressed in a stylish uniform, which fans saw as a nod to her international student background. As the scene progressed and Gawon changed into a new dress, online users noticed the idol's impressive height as she walked in unusual shoes, similar to those worn by models.
It is reported that she has a height of approximately 5 feet 7 inches (174 centimeters). She is also said to have briefly worked as a model, featuring in advertisements for clothing and beauty companies.
The label introduced Gawon as the second member of the group with a teaser video of around two minutes, posted on the label's main YouTube channel, THE BLACK LABEL. The video was released with a message that read:
"If I were to choose between the two, I already know my answer.”
The agency revealed the new member following the announcement of MEOVV’s first member, Ella Gross. On August 21, the label introduced the group's first member, Ella McKenzie Gross, who is 15 years old. She was born on December 1, 2008, and her Korean name is Nabi.
