MEOVV Talks Pressure as Teddy’s First Girl Group, Praises Taeyang and Bada for Dance Challenge
On November 28, MEOVV appeared on SBS Power FM’s “Cultwo Show” to promote their new single album “TOXIC” and share stories about their journey since debuting as a group.
Explaining their group name, the girl group said, “MEOVV stands for ‘My Eyes Open Wide’. It has various meanings, including the cute sound of a chic yet lovable cat. The VV also symbolizes our stylish image and the fact that there are five of us.”
Host Kim Tae-kyun mentioned the group’s diverse background, to which Narin said, “Sooin and I were born in Korea.”
Meanwhile, Anna added, “I’m from Japan and came here about a year ago,” surprising the audience. Ella shared, “I’m from California, USA,” while Gawon revealed, “I have dual citizenship; I was born in the US but I’m Korean.”
Debuting as the first girl group entirely produced by Teddy, who has worked with BIGBANG, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK, MEOVV garnered significant attention even before their debut.
When asked if they felt any pressure, the group admitted, “We did feel some pressure, but it also motivated us to showcase our unique charm in a more special way.”
Kim Tae-kyun highlighted that the group returned with a comeback just 80 days after their debut. MEOVV introduced their new single, explaining, “The album ‘TOXIC’ features 2 title tracks with completely opposite vibes. ‘TOXIC’ blends various vocal colors with minimalistic sounds, making it perfect for snowy winter days.”
Kim Tae-kyun also mentioned Narin’s tearful performance in the music video, asking what she thought about while crying. Narin replied, “It wasn’t initially planned as a crying scene.”
She added, “The song was so moving, and Gawon and I contributed to writing the lyrics. That emotional connection brought me to tears.”
Describing the song’s theme, she said, “The lyrics honestly express a complicated relationship, conveying the contradictory feeling of needing someone despite a toxic connection.”
The conversation shifted to Taeyang’s participation in their dance challenge and the choreography for the other title, “BODY”, created by Street Woman Fighter’s Lee Jung. When asked if the dance was challenging, Anna admitted, “It was the hardest choreography we’ve done so far.”
Kim Tae-kyun mentioned Taeyang’s impressive ability to learn the dance for the challenge quickly. The group revealed, “He mastered it in just 10 minutes,” to which Kim Tae-kyun exclaimed, “Genius talent truly is different!”
MEOVV recently released their second single, “TOXIC”, on November 18 and continues to actively promote their music.
