Who is Gaeul?

Gaeul is a member of IVE, the six-member girl group under STARSHIP Entertainment. The PROFILE page of IVE’s official site gives the agency as Starship Entertainment and the debut date as 1 December 2021, and puts Gaeul second in the line-up with her birth date, 24 September 2002. The group’s Japanese official site, run by AMUSE Inc., lists her position as rapper.

STARSHIP Entertainment introduced the members one at a time ahead of the debut, and Gaeul was the second, after An Yu-jin. Newsis reported on 4 November 2021 that she was born in 2002 and would take the rap position in IVE. Seoul Economic Daily, writing the next day, described IVE as the first six-member girl group STARSHIP Entertainment had presented in five years and noted that three members — An Yu-jin, Gaeul and Jang Wonyoung — had been revealed so far.

What to watch

The first single ELEVEN is the starting point. Its music video and the group’s self-produced content sit together on IVE’s official YouTube channel. K-Culture Radar links to official uploads rather than rehosting them, so that channel is where to watch.
