Shocking Issues on THE BLACK LABEL First Kpop Girl Group – What Happened?
Unfortunately, this fascinating debut of THE BLACK LABEL Kpop girl group MEOVV must be tainted with shocking issues related to the “MEOW” song. Not only that, but the whole concept of this group became the main topic of mixed reactions, especially from fans who had been highly anticipating their public appearance.
On one side, some fans have massively praised MEOVV for their unique voices and powerful, charismatic stage presence. MEOVV members have brought strong dynamics as a new 5th generation Kpop group.
Anna and Sooin showcased impressive visuals with the natural vibes of veteran celebrities. Meanwhile, Gawon and Ella slayed hard, proving that all the hype about them was no joke. And despite all the previous controversy, Narin has demonstrated solid vocals and the most impressive stage presence among the members.
However, others have pointed out the undoubted similarity of MEOVV’s overall vibes to YG Entertainment’s girl groups, BLACKPINK and BABYMONSTER.
While it’s true that THE BLACK LABEL is still YG’s affiliate helmed by Teddy Park, with the separation of the label, fans are expecting something different. Other than the classic YG-core concepts and styles, THE BLACK LABEL is supposed to show its own wow factor that differentiates the company from the parent label.
- “Kinda gives me BLACKPINK vibes… but it didn’t really hit the mark for me.”
- “The song reminds me of BABYMONSTER—definitely has that YG feel.”
- “I feel like the song could’ve been stronger, though.”
- “The song follows the same pattern BLACKPINK’s been using for years, ending with that classic dance break after a ‘blah blah blah’ moment. It doesn’t feel as fresh as I’d expect from a rookie group.”
- “I can see people either loving or hating this song, haha. But it’s totally my vibe. I do really like their vocal tones!”
- “The song’s pretty good, and the girls are absolutely gorgeous.”
- “It’s got that classic YG formula.”
- “Not exactly what I was expecting.”
- “This feels super BLACKPINK-like.”
SHOCKING Revelation Behind MEOVV “MEOW” Debut Song
Not only that, but fans have also noticed a shocking revelation behind MEOVV debut song, “MEOW.”
Previously, MEOVV has gained massive attention because it is the first Kpop girl group from THE BLACK LABEL, the company helmed by Teddy Park, the genius mind behind YG’s successful stars: BIGBANG, 2NE1, and BLACKPINK.
And yet, recent facts revealed that the person behind MEOVV debut song “MEOW” was NOT Teddy Park.
On September 6, a post on the Korean online community Instiz revealed the detailed credits of MEOVV debut song, “MEOW.”

- 작곡 (Composers): 24, Jumpa, Claudia Valentina, Zikai
- 편곡 (Arrangement): 24, Jumpa
- 장르 (Genre): Rap/Hip-hop

Comments from Korean Netizens
With this revelation, fans were shocked. They claimed that it was no wonder that the song was not as catchy as Teddy’s productions.
Some even say that they like “BATTER UP” better. It is a song by MEOVV’s direct rival from YG, BABYMONSTER.
- “Oh no…”
- “That explains it.”
- “It’s not bad, but it feels like it didn’t live up to expectations for something from Teddy.”
- “Honestly, ‘Batter Up’ is better.”
- “Give it a listen. The only thing I remember is ‘blah blah blah’ lol.”
- “‘Batter Up’ is way better lol. Even though ‘Batter Up’ had a lot of repetition, it was still decent. But ‘Meow’ doesn’t have any impactful moments—it all sounds the same.”
- “If that’s the case, then what’s the point of having a Teddy girl group…”
- “They call it ‘Teddy’s group’ because of his work with ‘The Black’ though.”
- “I think the song’s great.”
- “I see, that’s why the song feels like that.”
- “I was expecting a Teddy song…”
- “That’s surprising. So, what is Teddy doing then?”
- “I felt like the song didn’t have that hook like BLACKPINK’s songs do. Turns out it wasn’t by Teddy.”
- “It’s their debut song. Teddy should’ve helped out more.”
- “Honestly, I think it’s more about the vocals—they couldn’t fully bring out the song’s potential. Maybe because they’re rookies? But even then, someone should’ve directed them better. The lack of guidance hurt the final product.”
