Although the excitement was already huge, the alleged members became more of a hot topic when some huge and recognizable names were seen in the photo.
The first person that immediately stood out was Ella Gross. Back in 2018, Ella Gross went viral in 2018 when it was announced that she joined YG Entertainment‘s sub-label, The Black Label, as a trainee at only ten years old. Her resemblance to BLACKPINK’s Jennie earned Ella the endearing title of “Jennie’s little sister.”

In new photos shared by netizens, Ella is all grown up, and it’s unsurprising that netizens could recognize her.
