nova’s ask about blush has me curious 🧐 what do you think are some strange or unfortunate kpop group names?
that's a really nice question!!
Kep1er, SF9, B1A4, AB6IX anything with numbers on it really, it's giving the times when you want to choose a username but it says "that username is already taken" so you put a bunch of numbers in it
bugaboo (???), LOONA, Gugudan (???), Momoland, Weki Meki, Mamamoo, Lovelyz, anything trying entirely too hard to be cute is boring, these are grown adults (and if they're not when they debut in a couple of years they will be, imagine you're 25 saying "oh yeah Im in a group called bugaboo", how unserious)
New Jeans is also an honourable mention cause what?? "Oh yeah I just debuted, look up the group 'Striped TShirt On Sale' :))"
on another note, names that are trying entirely too hard like to have a deep meaning aespa and le sserafim, the le sserafim one is just giving Bratz on the movie where they got their name, it just seemed boring so they fucked around with the letters a bit to make it better lmao
ANY MIX OF LETTERS, WSJN, GWSN, VAV, NCT... Like you know you can make words with letters, right? doesn't need to be a mumbo jumbo? B.A.P gets a pass, idk it just sounds good to me.
anything with "girls" in it. Not that it's unfortunate, but it's tiring, gidle, girls generation, girls day, oh my girl, gfriend... like we get it, there are girls in it
all groups that have names that stand for something, bts, ateez, teen top, N'UEST, NCT (again)??... trying to be too deep and then it's just meanings that end up being silly. Look up what teen top is meant to be like it doesn't even make sense. It will be a cool looking name like Rock Styles and then you look up the meaning and it's "Revive Observe Creative Kunts Stay Tired You Love Eating Soup" like you can tell there was not ONE english speaker in the room helping with the name
any group name that you can't look at it and read immediately is trash. It's the name of a kpop group that will be disbanding in 7 years (max), no need to overthink it.
I just think that boy groups and girl groups have different name curses, boy groups are cursed to always stand for something stupid and girl group names are just gonna be these overthought names that were meant to sound cool but just look messy
on the other hand a name that I really liked was Cross Gene, I don't think they're around anymore but the group had Chinese, japanese and Korean members so it was called cross gene because so many nationalities crossed! smart, EXO is also a cool name, T-ARA, Bastarz is cool as FUCK honestly my favourite kpop group name fr, I dislike them but BlackPink is a cool name, I look at it and I can see the concept and what it's supposed to mean
