Who Is Narin From MEOVV?

Narin is the main rapper and main vocalist of MEOVV, the five-member K-pop girl group under THEBLACKLABEL. Born Na Rin on August 15, 2007, in Seoul’s Sinsa-dong neighborhood in Gangnam-gu, she was announced as MEOVV’s fifth and final member on August 29, 2024, just days before the group’s debut. If you’re getting into MEOVV members, Narin is the one who ties the group’s rap and vocal lines together with a bright, playful energy.

Early Life and Trainee Journey

Narin grew up in one of Seoul’s best-known upscale districts and attended Seoul Apgujeong Elementary School, where classmates remember her as a natural leader who served as vice president of her class, and later Shingu Middle School. She joined THEBLACKLABEL as a trainee and stood out early for her vocal ability and her knack for languages. Her audition piece, a stripped-back cover of Billie Eilish’s introspective ballad, hinted at an emotional depth that contrasts with the confident rapper image she now shows on stage.

Debut With MEOVV

Narin completed the MEOVV lineup alongside Sooin, Gawon, Anna, and Ella, and the group debuted on September 6, 2024, with the digital single “Meow.” She quickly took on writing credits, contributing to the lyrics of “Toxic” in 2024 and later “Lit Right Now” and “Burning Up” in 2025, showing she’s more than just a performer — she’s an active voice in shaping MEOVV’s sound.

Rise as MEOVV’s Main Rapper

Through eras like “Hands Up,” the My Eyes Open VVide EP, MEOVV’s Japanese debut single “ME ME ME,” and “Burning Up,” Narin’s rap delivery and stage presence have become a signature part of the group’s identity. As the youngest original member of the main lineup at debut, she brought fresh energy while still holding her own against more experienced label-mates.

Personality and Off-Stage Life

Fans and friends know Narin as an outgoing, multilingual member who speaks Korean, English, and Japanese, and who has also been picking up Spanish. She’s a self-described multistan of BLACKPINK, with Jennie as her bias, and she leans into her love of the color pink across her personal styling. Despite her packed idol schedule, she chose to remain in her senior year of high school studies rather than sit for South Korea’s national college entrance exam in 2026, a decision that speaks to how she’s balancing her idol career with everyday teenage milestones.
