YG has captured the attention of fans worldwide by releasing a live video of the first trainee who will complete the girl group lineage following BLACKPINK and Baby Monster.
On the 28th, YG Entertainment posted 'YG NEXT MONSTER | EVELLI - Nosebleeds' on their official blog. The video captures the monthly evaluation that takes place every month without any edits, and the first trainee to reveal herself is Evelly from Australia, who chose Doechii's 'Nosebleeds' to showcase YG's hip-hop identity.
As the music started, her lovely visuals were immediately contrasted by her captivating low voice that caught everyone's ears. Evelly showcased dynamic sound variations with excellent control of tempo, switching from a heavy tone to fast-paced rapping that matched the accelerating beat, leaving viewers in awe.
Her stage presence is so commanding that it's hard to believe she is only 15 years old. The hip-hop swag emanating from her confident attitude, stylish gestures, and rich expressiveness heightened the immersion. Moreover, Evelly is growing into an 'all-rounder' artist with top-notch vocal and rap skills, as well as proficiency in various languages including Korean, English, and Spanish.
Previously, YG confirmed that the next girl group will consist of four members and announced a promotion to introduce the members' information sequentially. The fact that they are a junior group following BLACKPINK, who has firmly established themselves as top artists, and Baby Monster, known for their reliable live performances, adds to the anticipation.
In particular, Chief Producer Yang Hyun-suk personally stated, "Please evaluate them as you see and hear them," expressing confidence in each member's abilities. With Evelly making a strong impression with her overflowing talent and skills as the first representative, curiosity and expectations for the additional members to be revealed are expected to grow even more.
