Korean netizens are wondering what happened to MEOVV.
MEOVV, THE BLACK LABEL's first girl group produced by Teddy, debuted in September 2024 with their single "MEOW." They were one of the most anticipated rookie girl groups this year.
Despite the initial anticipation, the group has had limited appearances on music shows and other media platforms since their debut. This has led to Korean netizens questioning whether THE BLACK LABEL had stored them in a "Treasure Box," a term often used to describe artists who are kept out of the public eye for extended periods.
Korean fans have gathered in a popular online community to question the lack of updates on the girl group and are eager to know about the group's current activities and plans.
They commented:
"Have they given up on gaining fans here? They’re already acting like superstars even though they are rookies. Get out of the treasure box."
"The topicality and the interest for this group died down because they're unseen."
"People are starting to forget about this group."
"I remember even BLACKPINK appeared on shows like Weekly Idol, Running Man, and Knowing Bros."
"Are they staying in the treasure box to take it easy, or could it be that they’re regrouping because the response wasn’t great? Maybe they’re rethinking things like strategy and concept... One member who seemed to define the group’s identity didn’t have as much idol charm or stage presence as expected after debut, and that’s also an issue."
"They didn't even release 'behind-the-scenes' videos or live broadcast videos. We don't know what the members' personalities are like. We only saw them dance..."
"The time has changed. It's not time to keep them hidden in a treasure box..."
"These girls need more exposure."
"Their song wasn't good in the first place."
"I think these girls are going to be soon forgotten..."
