MEOVV are officially gearing up for an October return. Following a Korean report, The Black Label confirmed the group is preparing a new album with the goal of releasing it next month—setting up one of fall’s most-watched comebacks.
Why this matters
-
Fast turnaround: It’s been about five months since their first EP MY EYES OPEN VVIDE and lead single “Drop Top,” which pivoted MEOVV from the sleek “black cat” debut vibe to a brighter, free-spirited pop-rock palette. A quick return suggests momentum—and confidence—in their musical direction.
-
Big-label pedigree: As Teddy Park’s first girl group under THEBLACKLABEL, MEOVV carry high expectations and industry attention. They’ve already earned major press and “rookie to watch” nods.
The road so far (quick recap)
-
Debut: September 2024 with the single “MEOW,” introducing the “midnight feline” aesthetic and a performance-driven identity.
-
First EP: MY EYES OPEN VVIDE (May 12, 2025) with title track “Drop Top,” spotlighting wind-in-your-hair energy and a lighter, Y2K-tinged styling. Coverage emphasized the sound shift and rooftop-daylight visuals.
-
Name/identity: Media notes have leaned into the cat-inspired moniker and the group’s performance focus since debut week.
What’s confirmed for October
-
THEBLACKLABEL says MEOVV are “preparing to release a new album, with the goal of making a comeback in October.” Exact date, track count, and concept are TBA.
What to expect (informed preview)
This section is forward-looking based on past rollouts and label norms.
-
Teaser cadence: Expect a scheduler poster → concept photos/films → track list → MV teasers → performance teasers. That playbook matched their EP lead-up this spring.
-
Sound direction: After testing a breezier, guitar-laced lane on “Drop Top,” MEOVV could double down on pop-rock textures or fuse them with percussive hip-hop elements THEBLACKLABEL favors. (Speculation grounded in prior releases and label style.)
-
Stage focus: Expect intricate formations and charismatic center changes—central to their showcase era and early promo identity.
The October traffic jam
October is notoriously stacked with high-profile releases across K-pop, raising both competition and visibility. A sharp concept and tight promo window will matter.
Fan checklist
-
Watch MEOVV’s channels for schedule poster & concept films first.
-
Pre-save links typically drop close to track-list reveals—keep alerts on.
-
Music-show stages (first two weeks post-release) should showcase the new choreography set.
Bottom line
A swift return positions MEOVV to lock in their sonic identity and expand beyond the “rookie buzz” phase. With THEBLACKLABEL’s production muscle and a clearer post-Drop Top direction, October could be the moment their brand fully clicks.
