EVELLI, the 15-Year-Old Trainee Who Caught YANG HYUN SUK’s Eye: “Unprecedented Star Potential”
[뉴스엔=황혜진 기자] As EVELLI, the first trainee of YG Entertainment’s new four-member girl group, continues to capture massive attention with her rap evaluation video surpassing 17 million views, a new dance performance has also been unveiled.
On June 11, YG Entertainment released “YG NEXT MONSTER | EVELLI Dance Performance.” Following the previously revealed monthly evaluation live video that highlighted YG’s signature hip-hop identity, the dance performance now takes center stage.
To the soundtrack of “Get Loose” by AGNEZ MO and Ciara, EVELLI instantly captivated with powerful charisma and stylish gestures. Her solid, powerful moves on a rhythmic beat, fluid body control, and intuitive groove drew all eyes.
What stood out most was her rich expressiveness that’s hard to believe for someone just 15 years old. Her delicate control of dynamics amplified the track’s flow and immersion, while her relaxed attitude and confident expressions, seemingly enjoying the music itself, made it impossible to look away.
YANG HYUN SUK, Executive Producer, reportedly said of her, “EVELLI seems to be one of the most impressive trainees I’ve seen, with unmatched star quality.” According to YG, it is rare for YANG to express such a level of confidence to those around him, especially considering his 30-year track record of discovering major stars.
EVELLI is a true all-rounder, possessing the full package: rap, vocals, dance, visuals, and on top of that, fluency in three languages: English, Korean, and Spanish. YG shared that YANG HYUN SUK sees immense star potential and promise in this 15-year-old.
Her rap evaluation video alone exceeded 10 million YouTube views in just one week and has now surpassed 17 million, signaling massive popularity. With her dance performance now released, global interest and curiosity around YG’s upcoming four-member girl group are expected to grow even further.
YG commented, “Following EVELLI, the second member of the four-member girl group will be revealed soon.”
