The leaked photos of trainees from the hip-hop powerhouse Teddy’s agency The Black Label are making waves.

Teddy, who was the main rapper of Korea’s hip-hop one-time, leads the agency, known for producing BIGBANG, 2NE1, Jeon Somi, and BLACKPINK, among others.

While The Black Label originated as a subsidiary label under YG Entertainment, it’s currently operating independently. Their musical style, known as Black Music, follows the tradition of African American music, continuing the legacy of YG’s similar style.

The Black Label artists include Zion.T, Jeon Somi, and Taeyang, while actors such as Park Bogum, Lee Jongwon, and Ella Gross are also associated with the label.

Yesterday, February 4th Korean time, photos believed to be of The Black Label’s girl group trainees were leaked, sparking attention.

There are a total of 7 members in the photos. Among them, Ella Gross, Bailey Sok, and Moon Sooyoon are causing a stir.

Let’s take a look at who they are
