Plus, just three months after their launch, they took home the coveted Favorite New Artist trophy at the MAMA Awards, which highlights the best of K-pop and Asian music. <\/p>\n<p>The group shared their EP, <em><em>MY EYES OPEN VVIDE, <\/em><\/em>earlier this month with six tracks that gave listeners a glimpse into their world. They confidently assert across the EP that their individuality is their strongest asset and they won\u2019t be retiring it as they break onto the scene, one that is ever-growing and hyper-competitive. \u201cHANDS UP,\u201d one of the singles released prior to the EP is Brazilian funk-inspired, with bouncing beats influencing the chill choreography the group went on to film and post on social media to promote its drop. \u201cLIT RIGHT NOW\u201d closes the EP with a more reserved, R&amp;B cut that\u2019s poppy and hook-heavy.<\/p>\n<p><em>PAPER<\/em> caught up with MEOVV to talk about their EP, their fans (that they refer to as PAWMPAWMs) the role fashion plays in their artistry and the pressures of being deemed a group to watch.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><span class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"e43a8007fd004d2757130cdef7998607\" style=\"padding-top:56.25%\"><br \/>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"MEOVV(\ubbf8\uc57c\uc624) - \u2018DROP TOP\u2019 M\/V\" width=\"1140\" height=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l4On7TQoM-M?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong><strong>Your debut EP, MY EYES OPEN VVIDE, came out this month. How are you feeling about the release?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gawon:<\/strong> We\u2019ve known and loved all the songs in our EP since before our debut as trainees, so finally being able to put them out into the world means a lot to us. It\u2019s the accumulation of the songs we\u2019ve released so far and therefore feels like a real beginning and introduction. We hold this EP very close to our hearts and hope everyone loves it as much as we do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Narin:<\/strong> Yeah. Since it\u2019s our first album, it honestly feels like we\u2019re debuting all over again. We\u2019re so excited to finally perform more of our songs on stage and show different sides of ourselves. It makes us really happy that all six songs on the album are ones we truly love, and we\u2019re especially excited to finally release \u201cDROP TOP\u201d and \u201cLIT RIGHT NOW,\u201d which our fans have been waiting for! More than anything, we\u2019re just looking forward to meeting more of our fans all over the world and connecting through our music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What are the tracks you were most excited for the world to hear?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Sooin: <\/strong>There are a lot of songs on this EP, each with its own vibe and character, so I think our fans will really enjoy listening to it. \u2018DROP TOP\u2019 in particular feels very new and refreshing for us, so I\u2019m curious to see if the public will feel the same way too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna: <\/strong>This EP album has six songs in total, and each one has a completely different vibe. So I hope you\u2019ll listen to them based on your mood each day! \u2018LIT RIGHT NOW&#8217; is one of the B-side tracks, and it\u2019s a special song that we\u2019ve cherished since our trainee days. These days, it\u2019s also my favorite!<\/p>\n<p><strong><em>MY EYES OPEN VVIDE <\/em>is also a visual album. What led you to that decision? How do visuals play a role in MEOVV\u2019s identity as a group?<br \/><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Narin:<\/strong> From the beginning, we always knew visuals would be a big part of <em>MY EYES OPEN VVIDE<\/em>, because visuals are such an important part of how we express ourselves as a group. The album itself is about seeing the world with new eyes and breaking out of limitations, so creating a visual album that brings our vision to life felt like a natural extension of that message. We wanted to tell the story, show our emotions, and highlight the energy behind each song through the visuals. We wanted people to see and feel our music.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella: <\/strong>In the title of our album, there is literally a mention of eyes. We see our identity very clearly through our visuals!<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"c4653fb97cfe04d2fe8c6b82e5b92edd\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" id=\"505cb\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xindisiau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img-124.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"dcdea0b1c406449c6038f655ab7afe8d\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" id=\"9607b\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xindisiau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img-125.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"1674dcb294cad87d7e1975505821ed28\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" id=\"82a20\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xindisiau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img-126.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>Do you guys have plans to take <em>MY EYES OPEN VVIDE<\/em> on tour?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gawon:<\/strong> Going on tour has been one of our top goals even before we became MEOVV, and it\u2019s something we\u2019re always planning and mapping out. With this EP, we really want to put as much of ourselves out there as possible, so we\u2019ve already prepared several opportunities to meet our international PAWMPAWMs. As we continue to release more music \u2014 and yes, we\u2019ll be coming back not long after this EP promotion \u2014 we\u2019ll definitely be solidifying both our name as MEOVV and our plans for a tour.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella: <\/strong>We definitely have talked about a tour and it\u2019s all of our dreams! Right now we are focusing on promoting more through YouTube content and fan signing events!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna: <\/strong>We\u2019re planning to promote our EP not only in Korea but also in countries overseas! The thought that we\u2019ll soon get to meet our PAWMPAWMs from all around the world \u2014 something we\u2019ve always dreamed of \u2014 makes me so excited! <\/p>\n<p><strong>I saw that Ella recently became an ambassador for Miu Miu. Gawon is working with Prada. How does fashion play a role for MEOVV? What are some other favorite designers for you guys right now?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Gawon: <\/strong>Fashion is a core element of what makes MEOVV who we are. Ever since I was a child, I loved dressing up and putting on mini fashion shows by myself, and that passion has stayed with me. Now, as a member of MEOVV, I get to channel that love into our group\u2019s identity. Our style isn\u2019t just about looking good \u2014 it\u2019s essential to tying everything together and expressing who we are on and off stage.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sooin:<\/strong> We often spend a lot of time thinking about what we should wear or what we\u2019d like to wear. We also search online for ideas and talk a lot with our styling director, who works closely with us. In the end, it always feels like we manage to find the best option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Anna: <\/strong>Fashion is such an important element for our group. It\u2019s the easiest way to express yourself, and it\u2019s really fun to see how a person\u2019s image and appeal change drastically with a change of an outfit. I love how we get to see our different sides every time we have a fitting session.<\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"8da191505c2083e04a3417daa0db9f42\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" id=\"6df4c\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xindisiau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img-127.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><img alt=\"\" class=\"rm-shortcode\" data-rm-shortcode-id=\"d0717b506e782242b12df778ac25ad0f\" data-rm-shortcode-name=\"rebelmouse-image\" id=\"a0856\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"http:\/\/www.xindisiau.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/img-128.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><strong>You took home the Favorite Rising Artist award from last year\u2019s MAMA Awards.

It was a huge honor, and it reminded us that people are really connecting with what we\u2019re doing. It also motivated us to keep growing and pushing ourselves creatively during the preparation for the first EP and it really helped us bring even more honesty, energy, and originality into the music we put out. We always want to live up to the love and support we\u2019ve received, and show how much we\u2019ve grown.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ella: <\/strong>When we received that award it was a big motivation for me!
