Eunhyuk = Silver Hyuk (from his name Hyukjae)

Leeteuk = 'special' and was a name from Lee Sooman actually

Kangin = 'strong benevolence' and was also given to him as a reflection of his personality

Yesung = 'art-like voice'; pretty sure it was another one of LSM's ideas

Shindong = 'Shin' from his family name and 'Dong' from his given name 'Donghee'

V - Needed one letter for a stage name, V for Victory.

Suga - Yoongi wasn't a cute enough stage name, Suga was 'prettier'  :>_>:

J-Hope - Because he was ever hopeful and happy.

 

Most of EXO - Their names.

 

Onew from SHINee is because I think Onew means kindness in Korean? And as he's a bundle of joy and an angel, it was fitting.

Sandeul - gentle breeze or something like that, it's supposed to describe his personality (and they said the finger dance in OK was inspired by his name)

Baro - immediately, because he's always in a hurry and impatient and want things to happen quickly lol

CNU - Shin Dongwoo->Shinwoo->CNU

Gongchan - Gong Chanshik->Gongchan. Idek why, i actually think Chanshik is cuter.

BoA - Beat of Angel but also Best of Asia but that's much newer...when she debuted in the USA her best album was called Best of Asia too

Tiffany - her real name is Stephanie but there was already an active Stephanie and her mother wanted to call her Tiffany

Zelo - comes from Zeus

Se7en - YG couldn't think of a stage name but LO AND BEHOLD his plate had 7 pieces of kimchi on it.....and the name stuck

 

Se7en's is quite literally the dumbest stage name origin story I've heard so lucky for him it looks pretty cool
