THE BLACK LABEL revealed the fifth and final member of their first-ever girl group MEOVV to be Narin. On August 29, Narin's trailer was unveiled through the official social media pages of the girl group.
Not much regarding the yet-to-be K-pop idol has been disclosed besides her age and place of birth. Narin is 17 years old and was born on August 15, 2007, and is the second youngest member after Ella. She was born in Sinsa-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea.
In the introduction trailer, the MEOVV member was surrounded by her classmates and disinterested in their conversation. As they left, she found a mystic vending machine, which allowed her to change her style.
