Article : Idol group names... sensible but still powerful and easy to remember

Source: Munhwa Ilbo via Naver

1. [+2,164, -138] I personally think f(x) and 2NE1 were the most creative names

2. [+1,843, -178] Bulletproof Boy Scouts was probably the stupidest name in history

3. [+1,513, -34] I remember when TVXQ first debuted and thinking what kind of group name is that

4. [+1,134, -42] Doesn't matter how weird your name is, you'll get there as long as your song's good

5. [+331, -4] Mulletfish (Gamulchi)'s a really bad name too

6. [+339, -20] Girlfriend... I was surprised when I heard their name, whoever named them was so lazy..

7. [+296, -32] April's name was controversial at first because people started saying it was too similar to A Pink when April's just a continuation of A'ST1 and AJAX (all of these names in Korean start with the same two syllables e-i) ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ Does A Pink own the 'e-i' rights or something ã…‹

8. [+274, -13] I thought SNSD, CSJH, TVXQ, and even Super Junior were weird names at first but I got used to it... so I guess all these names are a matter of getting used to ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹

9. [+251, -5] The laziest naming ever: ZE:A (Empire's Children)

10. [+250, -24] When I first heard SHINee, I thought it was a perfectly idol-like name and very pretty sounding

11. [+224, -19] Shinhwa and Big Bang are living up to their names

12. [+206, -18] Hello, we aspire to become A4 papers, we are B1A4

13. [+163, -10] There's also that one group 100% that promised to 100% be successful... and they're gone now.. ã…‹ã…‹

14. [+124, -16] When SNSD first debuted, people always said their name sounded outdated because the trend was to have an English name but they went with a traditional Korean name but now it's pretty and I'm used to it

[Case closed]

I love them but GOT7,2AM &2PM etc are horrible names

[�ю�ша - Hyunrena]

why would it be

 

Because they're not creative names, imo.

[sehunes]

idol group names really don't bother me at all tbh

 

as long as they're producing bops it doesn't even matter

[swiftswitchsurf]

TEENTOP and TOP DOGG are tragic.

[dvang]

i never imagined that the red velvet name would become such an integral part of who they are as a group

[coward]

Why is there a picture of a group who isn't listed in the comments?

original article has red velvet

[ICETERO]

because they were mentioned in the article

[bluesclues]

First time I heard Dong Bang Shin Ki, I just    But now I can't imagine them being called anything else (collectively).

Ahhh, you are both more ambitious than me, I'm too lazy to click on the link. Thanks for setting me straight.

[Asssemusssic]

2NE1, Big Bang are really good names

[kellygreen]

I always thought shinee sounded cheesy and childish but now I'm used to it

[sweetNams]

BTS' full name may seem nonsensical but at least it has a meaning that isn't just like a random acronym or whatever 

[KayJayA7X]

I personally thought Girls' Generation is a really cool name that rolls off your tongue, has some meaning to it (9 girls dominating the generation) and even has a beautiful short-formed 'GG'. Lols. It sounds good as So Nyo Shi Dae too so I'm surprised Koreans don't like it. :/ And I kinda think 2NE1 is.. a little lacking in meaning, but the fandom name Blackjack fits too perfectly well.

 

And BIGBANG sure live up to their name. Their impact says it all!

 

And Dong Bang Shin Ki made me cringed at first. Like, rise from the East? Oh gosh. And Super Junior...

2. [+1,843, -178] Bulletproof Boy Scouts was probably the stupidest name in history

 

I agree tbh, I want them to officially change their name to BTS in Korea

[pimo]

Bts isn't who comes to mind when I think of horrible group names

Mblaq, 100%, map6, lu:kus, etc
