YG Entertainment has officially begun its next chapter in K-pop with the spotlight shining on Evelli, the first introduced member of their upcoming girl group tentatively titled NEXT MONSTER.
In a striking new dance performance video released at midnight on June 11 KST, Evelli showcases her talent and charisma set to the energetic and fierce track “Get Loose” by Agnez Mo and Ciara.
This performance marks a major stepping stone for both Evelli and the group itself as YG lays the groundwork for what could be the next global K-pop sensation.
At just 15 years old, Evelli, an Australian trainee who has spent the past two years honing her craft at YG Entertainment, is already amazing fans and industry watchers alike with her exceptional presence.
The performance video highlights not only her technical dance skills but also her natural stage charisma—an impressive debut that instantly sets her apart as a standout rookie.
Her movements are sharp and controlled, yet fluid and expressive, proving that despite her young age, she possesses the professionalism and magnetism of a seasoned performer.
This teaser is more than just a promotional clip—it is a bold introduction to YG’s vision for NEXT MONSTER.
Known for launching some of the most iconic acts in K-pop history such as BLACKPINK and 2NE1, YG is once again tapping into the global market, with the group’s name hinting at a powerful and edgy concept.
While the full group lineup is still under wraps, this initial introduction to Evelli is clearly meant to set the tone for what’s to come: a new generation of confident, globally-minded idols ready to push boundaries.
Evelli’s video is also a testament to YG’s polished and strategic approach to artist development and content release.
By pairing her with a bold, Western pop track and releasing a clean-cut, high-quality video, YG sends a strong message that its newest group won’t simply follow trends but help set them.
Fans who had previously seen her cover of Doechii’s “Nosebleeds” already got a glimpse of her versatility and individuality—qualities that the label seems eager to spotlight from the very beginning.
While some details about the group remain a mystery—including its final name, concept, and the identities of the other members—the buzz is undeniably growing.
The performance video acts as a calculated yet exciting move to keep fans engaged and speculating as more teasers and content are expected to roll out in the weeks ahead.
Given the massive legacy of YG’s past groups and the fierce competition in today’s K-pop scene, NEXT MONSTER is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated debuts of the year.
As fans await the unveiling of the remaining members and the group’s debut track, YG has succeeded in making a strong first impression with Evelli.
Her performance signals the arrival of a new era for YG girl groups—one built on international flair, youthful energy, and unwavering ambition.
With this powerful start, NEXT MONSTER already seems poised to roar onto the global stage, and Evelli is at the forefront of this promising journey.
