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 wanted to become a singer since kindergarden.[2][3] As a kindergartner, Yves would always draw herself dancing and holding a mic in the ‘future dream’ section.[4][2] She fostered her dreams of singing while watching senior girlgroup "Wonder Girls" performing their debut stage "Irony", in 2007. Yves said about this: "I was watching TV and saw these cool unnies in uniforms singing and dancing. You couldn't not fall for them. So I wanted to be a cool singer like them."[5]
She joined a dance academy in Busan, "Dance Up Academy".[6] 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 fan accounts, 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.[7][8][9] At one of the training academies she attended, she met and befriended Chuu who would also become a member of LOONA.
Before joining BlockBerryCreative, Yves was a part of a dance group at D-Pop Studio (by Dream Vocal & Dance Academy), in Seoul.[10] Yves said she joined the group secretly because her mother was against it.[11] 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).[12]
On October 24, 2017, a blog posted a congratulatory message for 'Ha Soo Young' for passing Polaris Entertainment's audition.[13] At some point in the latter half of 2017 after September, Yves was accepted as a trainee at Polaris Entertainment.[14] While Yves was attending a training academy, Polaris Entertainment came to hold an audition. That day, she wasn't feeling good so she didn't want to audition and stayed in the vocal room but her sister convinced her to still give it a try. A month after, coming out of an actiong lesson and ready to go home, she was notified at around 11PM by her vocal instructor that a director from BlockBerry Creative (sister company of Polaris Entertainment) wanted to see her audition once more the following day. Yves apparently didn't make the first Polaris audition but the A&R teams were sharing and reviewing the audition's footage so were interested in her again. She ended up going to the audition even though she had nothing really prepared.[15] 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 an original choreography. They had her freestyle on a ODD EYE CIRCLE song after doubting her freestyling and dancing skills. Similar to other members, she was transferred to BlockBerryCreative at some point in order to become a member. Yves debuted within 34 days of passing auditions.[2][16] The company had her begin preparing for her debut (song listening, song recording, album jacket filming...) starting from the Friday following the audition. Yves was surprised by how soon her debut would be and how immediately they made her prepare for it. Her mom thought the whole thing was a scam. "Shasha" and "Jelly" were candidates for her stage name.
2017: Reveal, Debut in LOONA
Yves was first teased on November 6, 2017. She released her solo single album Yves on November 28, 2017 and subsequently debuted as a member of LOONA.
2018: yyxy, LOONAbirth
Yves later debuted as a member and leader of LOOΠΔ / yyxy with members Chuu, Go Won and Olivia Hye on May 30, 2018 with the mini-album beauty&thebeat. Yves recalled that when she joined the company, they told her "We are going to make a unit with a tougher concept than Odd Eye Circle, completely girl crush". It seems like the unit had a completely different concept originally.[15]
LOONA as a complete group debuted on August 19, 2018 at their concert LOONAbirth with the release of + + on August 20, 2018.
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.[17]
Yves starred in The Gashinas, a 4-episode television variety show that began airing on May 19, 2019.
2020: #
Along with HeeJin, Choerry and Olivia Hye, she participated in the choreographing of #'s title track "So What" and was credited in the "Choreography idea" section of the credits. After the departure of MC Jun, Yves became the co-host of TBS "Fact iN Star" (팩트인스타 / 팩트iN스타), along with singer-songwriter Yoo Jaehwan (유재환). "Fact iN Star" is a variety show inviting a different K-pop idol group and/or soloists as guests, each episode. The show is uploaded and subtitled in english and some other languages on YouTube.
