Recently, Capitol Records announced that they have signed Kpop girl group MEOVV, in partnership with The Black Label, even before the girl group's debut.

In preparation for MEOVV's debut, The Black Label has revealed a teaser image of their sleek new headquarters in Seoul occupied by five giant cats.

After signing, Capitol Records promoted the group in a similar way, featuring black cats roaming the roof of the Capitol Records building in Hollywood.

MEOVV, The Black Label's first girl group, will be produced by label founder and mega-producer Teddy Park - known as a " music wizard" who played a key role in the success of Big Bang, 2NE1, Blackpink and many other artists.

To date, 4/5 MEOVV members have been revealed, namely Ella Gross (2008), Gawon (2005), Sooin (2005) and Anna (2005). The group is expected to officially debut in September.

Meanwhile, Capitol Records is one of the major record labels in the US, producing albums for many famous artists such as Doechii, Ice Spice, J Balvin, Kali Uchis, Katy Perry, Maggie Rogers, Niall Horan, Sam Smith, The Beatles, Yeat, Young Miko...

It is not uncommon for K-pop artists, groups and companies to sign contracts with American record labels. Blackpink signed a contract with Interscope Records, HYBE Labels (which manages BTS, Seventeen, NewJeans, LE SSERAFIM, ILLIT...) signed a music distribution agreement with Universal Music Group...

But very few K-pop groups sign with American record labels before debuting. SM Entertainment's RIIZE was a rare group to sign with RCA Records before releasing their debut single.

The Black Label's move shows the company's investment and expectations for their first girl group, MEOVV.
