Yves[1] (Hangul: 이브) is the ninth revealed member of LOONA and a member and leader of its third sub-unit, LOONA / yyxy.
She was born as Ha Soo Young (Hangul: 하수영) on May 24, 1997 in Busan, South Korea.
She debuted on November 14, 2017 as a member and subsequently released her solo single album "Yves" on November 28, 2017.
History
Early life
She was born in Busan, then at some point later moved to Yangsan, South Gyeongsang Province (Gyeongsangnam-do).
She joined a dance academy in Busan, "Dance Up Academy"[2]. On October 25, 2015, she appeared for the first time on their YouTube channel, on the video titled "Dance Up Jr : K-Pop Cover Dance". She appeared on several videos, that can be found in this playlist. She appeared on their YT channel for the last time on a choreography video, "Reddy - 생각해 : E:Na Choreography" published on July 15, 2016.
According to fanaccounts, she was a trainee under Hunus Entertainment (ELRIS' agency). She trained with ELRIS' Bella and DIA's Eunchae, and apparently almost debuted with Bella. Yves met Bella in 2014/2015 so she may have joined Hunus Entertainment in 2014/2015.[3][4][5]
Before joining BlockBerryCreative, Yves was a part of a dance group at D-Pop Studio (by Dream Vocal & Dance Academy), in Seoul.[6] Yves said she joined the group secretly because her mother was against it.[7] She studied really hard and ranked #11 in her studies at school, but in Grade 11 revealed her secret to her mother because she really wanted to become a singer.[citation needed] Yves was last seen with the dance group one month before her reveal, when they released a dance cover (October 18, 2017).[8]
On October 24, 2017, a blog posted a congratulatory message for 'Ha Soo Young' for passing Polaris Entertainment's audition.[9] At some point in the latter half of 2017 after September, Yves was accepted as a trainee at Polaris Entertainment.[10] Despite her audition not being ideal, as she was only notified the night before, she was accepted the next day after performing a song and original choreography. Similar to other members, she was transferred to BlockBerryCreative at some point in order to become a member.

2019 : LOONAVERSE Concert, XX, The Gashinas
During the first day of the LOONAVERSE Concerts, on February 16, 2019, Yves sustained a small injury to her nose due to an accident involving YeoJin. She managed to perform throughout the rest of the concert; and while on the second day she had to refrain from dancing, she still was still allowed to sing. She gave ideas for the choreography of "Satellite"; during the "I’m talkin’ bout you, I’m talkin’ bout you" part.[11]
Yves starred in The Gashinas, a 4-episode television variety show that began airing on May 19, 2019.
