The first member of the MEOVV band was once a famous child model.

Earlier this year, images of what was said to be The Black Label's upcoming new girl group were circulating on social media and online communities in Korea.

Among the 7 trainees, there are 3 notable faces: Shinsegae Group heiress Annie Moon (born in 2002), famous female dancer in Kpop world - Bailey Sok (2008) and famous child model Ella Gross (2008).

As expected, Ella Gross was included in MEOVV's official debut lineup, while the media revealed that Annie Moon was eliminated.

Ella Gross is 16 years old and is Korean American.

With mixed Korean-German-American blood, because her father is American and her mother is Korean-German, Elle has possessed impressive beauty since childhood, with a chubby face, high nose, big round eyes and a radiant smile.

The idol began her modeling career at the age of 2, when she received an invitation from an American magazine because of her adorable appearance. However, Ella's parents wanted her to grow up normally like other children, so Ella's modeling career had to be put on hold when she entered kindergarten.

It wasn't until Ella was 6 or 7 years old that her parents let her return to modeling.

She also debuted as a child actress through the TV series Heathers (2018) and several other films. Ella is now a social media influencer with an Instagram account of over 4 million followers.
