One of the rumored members was well-known trainee Ella Gross. She went viral in 2018 when it was announced that she joined YG Entertainment‘s sub-label, The Black Label, as a trainee at only 10 years old.

Ella gained attention after being dubbed BLACKPINK Jennie‘s “little sister,” due to her visual resemblance.
