Behold, Kpop fans! A new generation of promising Kpop girl group will be arriving soon! This time, it’s the turn of Teddy’s THE BLACK LABEL entertainment company that caught the attention of global Kpop community. And it’s all due to the promising members of its new Kpop girl group. So, who are these members and will they truly become a new Kpop sensation just like their sister group, BABYMONSTER? Or was it all just a ruse from this subsidiary of YG Entertainment? Let’s dive deeper into the complete story in the following report.
Teddy’s Protégés: The Next Big Wave in Kpop?
On February 4, the Kpop world buzzed with excitement as photos of girls rumored to be from THE BLACK LABEL’s training camp took the internet by storm. Fans are all in frenzy, circulating what they believe are sneak peeks at the future female stars under Teddy’s wing – yes, the same genius behind the hits of 2NE1 and BLACKPINK.
With YG Entertainment waving goodbye to big names like G-Dragon and the BLACKPINK quartet recently, the spotlight’s now on Teddy’s next move. Especially since he’s been MIA from the music scene with BABYMONSTER’s debut, whispers are getting louder about his potential break from YG.
These leaked photos? They’re not just any snaps. They show seven trainees radiating star power and style, stirring high hopes for Teddy’s first girl group venture. Given his golden track record, expectations are sky-high for these girls to bring something fresh and fierce to the table, mirroring BLACKPINK’s early promise.
Since stepping out as YG’s sibling label in 2016, The Black Label has been carving its own path, attracting stars like Taeyang, Jeon Somi, and Zion.T. Yet, despite its talent-packed roster, a girl group debut has been the missing piece in its puzzle.
Therefore, with the label standing on the verge of unveiling a girl group, the stakes are high. They’re not merely launching new artists. Instead, they will be setting up a potential face-off with YG’s latest bet, BABYMONSTER.
Moreover, amid BABYMONSTER’s rocky start and the anticipation for member Ahyeon’s return in April, the debut of Teddy’s trainees could shake things up in Kpop’s competitive landscape.
All the Suspected Members of THE BLACK LABEL New Kpop Girl Group
So, who are these suspected members of the new promising Kpop girl group from Teddy’s THE BLACK LABEL? Check out all names below and see if you recognize them.
1. Ella Gross (2008)
Remember Jennie’s little sister who went viral in 2018? That was the year this adorable child model stole hearts worldwide, announcing her journey with YG Entertainment’s The Black Label as a trainee – and she was just ten years old! And yes, she is the first suspected member of THE BLACK LABEL’s new Kpop girl group, Ella Gross.
With her stunning blend of American, Korean, and German heritage, Ella quickly became famous for her captivating beauty. Signing with The Black Label at such a tender age, she also earned the affectionate nickname “Little Jennie,” all thanks to her striking resemblance to BLACKPINK’s Jennie. It was clear from the start: Ella was destined to shine.

4. Lee Ga Won a.k.a Chloe Lee (2005)
Next, meet Lee Gawon, also known to many as Chloe, a name that echoes through the halls of K-pop trainee history with a unique flair. This Korean American gem, born in 2005, has a backstory as captivating as her presence. Once under the prestigious wing of YG Entertainment for an impressive 2/3 years, she made the bold decision to leave in 2021, sparking whispers of her joining the ranks of The Black Label. Before her journey into the world of K-pop traineeship, Chloe graced the modeling world as a child, featuring in campaigns that include the iconic Adidas, showcasing her versatility and star quality from a young age.
Standing tall at approximately 174/175 cm, Chloe’s not just your average idol-in-the-making; she’s a former model who has dazzled in Adidas advertisements and captured hearts in editorials for Allure magazine. The buzz around her is not just confined to Korea; she’s amassed a loyal fanbase on Weibo, proving her global appeal.
Rumors have been swirling about her departure from THE BLACK LABEL, but recent sightings and leaked photos suggest otherwise. A mysterious girl in a white dress, bearing a striking resemblance to Chloe, has sent the internet into a frenzy.
So, could this Korean-American, ’05 liner, who once posed for Adidas and graced the pages of Allure, still be with THE BLACK LABEL? If the whispers hold true, Chloe might just be one of the longest-serving trainees at the company, patiently honing her skills, waiting for the perfect moment to shine. Keep your eyes peeled; Lee Gawon/Chloe is a name you won’t want to forget.

5. Brittney Jang (2003)
The next suspected member of THE BLACK LABEL’s new Kpop girl group is Brittney Jang.
Believed to be of Korean heritage and born around 2003, Brittney’s journey in the fiercely competitive realm of Kpop began in earnest in 2018. Her path hasn’t been a straight line. Instead, it’s marked by a departure that intrigued many, only to be followed by whispers of her return to the grind, further cloaking her story in an aura of intrigue.
What sets Brittney apart, even in the scant details available about her, is her connection to the stars. Her friendship with Julie from Kiss of Life a testament to her place within the inner circles of Kpop’s rising talents.
Brittney’s status as a trainee since 2018, with a hiatus that has only fueled more curiosity, positions her as a dedicated artist, committed to refining her craft despite the challenges. The absence of extensive public information on her does little to dim the intrigue; instead, it amplifies the anticipation surrounding her. Rumors persist that she remains a trainee under THE BLACK LABEL, a detail that, if true, places her under the tutelage of one of the industry’s most renowned labels, known for its meticulous grooming of artists.
As Brittney Jang navigates the rigorous path of a Kpop trainee, Brittney is now ready to leap into the limelight. Keep an eye out; the story of Brittney Jang is just beginning to unfold, and the world is watching, eager to witness the rise of a new musical sensation.
