YG Entertainment, the powerhouse behind global girl groups like 2NE1, BLACKPINK, and BABYMONSTER, has unveiled a live performance of one of its trainees.
On the 28th, YG Entertainment posted "YG NEXT MONSTER | EVELLI - 'Nosebleeds'" on its official blog. The video, a candid capture of the monthly evaluations that take place, introduced EVELLI, a trainee from Australia, performing Doechii's 'Nosebleeds' and showcasing YG's signature hip-hop identity.
As the music kicked off, EVELLI's lovely visuals contrasted with her captivating deep voice. With a solid tone, she grooved to the music, then switched to rapid-fire rapping to match the accelerating beat, showcasing dynamic sound variations and impeccable control that left viewers in awe.
Her stage presence, hard to believe she's only 15, was already polished. The hip-hop swagger emanating from her confident attitude, stylish gestures, and expressive performance enhanced the immersion. Moreover, EVELLI is developing into an 'all-rounder' artist, boasting high-level vocal and rap skills, and proficiency in multiple languages including Korean, English, and Spanish.
Previously, YG confirmed the formation of a new four-member girl group and announced a promotional campaign to introduce the members sequentially. The anticipation is high, given the legacy of BLACKPINK, a top-tier artist, and BABYMONSTER, known for their solid live performances and strong global presence.
Especially since Yang Hyun-suk, the executive producer, has stepped forward asking everyone to "judge as you see and hear," expressing confidence in each member's capabilities. With EVELLI making a strong impression as the first to be introduced, curiosity and excitement for the upcoming members are expected to grow.
