September is expected be an electrifying month for K-pop fans, with the debut of three highly anticipated "monster rookies" set to shake up the music scene.

Girl group Meovv, pronounced "meow," is set to make its debut on Friday as the first girl group from The Black Label.

The agency has been releasing the profile pictures of each of the six members since early August as fans eagerly await the debut of the first girl group put together by producer Teddy since he established the label in May 2016.


The members are: Gawon, Sooin, Anna, Narin and Ella.


Meovv opened a pre-debut pop-up store at The Hyundai department store in western Seoul on Aug. 29, set to continue until Wednesday, to give fans an exclusive chance to listen to the group's debut music and purchase limited-edition merchandise.

Online reservations for the event were sold out within a minute, leading to an opening of additional slots, according to the band's agency.

Girl group Fifty Fifty will release new music with a new lineup on Sept. 20.

This marks the group's "re-debut" as a restructured five-member group. The agency finalized the new members in April after conducting closed auditions.

Fifty Fifty used to be a four-member group with Keena, Saena, Aran and Sio, but three members — except for Keena — left the group last October after their previous agency Attrakt kicked them out after months of legal battles.

The upcoming EP will be the group’s first music release in nearly two years since its debut EP, “The Fifty,” dropped in 2022.

Antenna, an agency known for its ballad and R&B singers, is also rolling out a K-pop boy band named Dragon Pony.

Dragon Pony is set to make its official debut on Sept. 26 with its first EP “Pop Up,"according to Antenna on Monday.

Antenna is a label known for being home to talented singers and songwriters like Kwon Jin-ah, Lee Jin-ah and Kyuhyun of boy band Super Junior.

Dragon Pony consists of lead vocalist Ahn Tae-gyu, bassist Pyun Sung-hyun, guitarist Kwon Se-hyuk and drummer Ko Gang-hun.


The band surpassed 30,000 Instagram followers on its official Instagram account as of Tuesday and sold out 500 seats for their pre-debut solo concert, "Dragon Pony Final Debut Mission: 500," held at Musinsa Garage in Mapo District, western Seoul, on June 29.
