ANNA is one of five members of MEOVV, the first girl group from Teddy Park's THEBLACKLABEL. The group came together under the label's guidance, with the members starting out as near strangers who trained, roomed and worked side by side. She has moved from performing into writing, taking part in the lyrics for the 2026 single album "GO HARD" and its B-side "Indestructible". Off stage, her groupmates describe her as the most serious member of the group, with a habit of dropping random, funny remarks.
Where they grew up
The pages I have do not cover where ANNA grew up or how she first came to music, so I am leaving those details out rather than guessing. One page notes that three of the five MEOVV members were child models, but it does not say which ones. What the sources do show is that she was picked by Teddy Park for THEBLACKLABEL's first girl group and trained with the other four members before debut. Her formative musical admiration, per Teen Vogue, is for the K-pop vocalist Taeyang, whom MEOVV opened for in Seoul in early 2025.
