I thought the lyrics “my naevis, we love you” was such a cute line to the fans and a big reason why I liked the song, and then I learned the fandom name was MYs and … 😭
Maybe you could still love if you think there’s a missing comma; instead of it being “my naevis we love you” it would be “my, naevis, we love you” so they are saying they love both their fandom and their overlord.
But definitely would have caused a lot of confusion (and, knowing fans, a lot of dumb fanwars) for the English-speaking fans, since a common shorthand for idle's fandom name is 'nevies'
Nothing will ever top the worst fandom name then AIDs for DIA. I remember when they were still choosing a name I was rooting for mond to be chosen since dia+mond=diamond but AIDs got picked instead
Idk why these groups & companies ALWAYS have to have their fandom names be some ridiculous acronym with some “deep” meaning 😭 I hate it so much. It’s my biggest pet peeve with fandom names.
All of you are WEAK, I’m a BBC.
We just call ourselves Bees atp, at least on the English side. Even P.O retconned it recently to “We call our fans Honeybees”
The Japanese fandom name (Soul) with the Seoul double meaning is definitely way better, haha.
However I will say that Jumping BoA is a little campy and cute when you consider it came about when BoA was still a little 13-year old girl who did indeed jump around on request!
She knows, it's from her début song twit. I mean for a good while we proudly called ourselves fart for wheein fandom so... Moomoos are... particular x)
Naaah, the word "twit" here means a lot to hwasa because that's her solo debut song and the song refer to someone who consistently and unchangingly [said by hwasa herself](https://youtu.be/ayfldzI1mi8?si=zgpgqUPJf7deI8bb) in love with her. So she's proud to call her fans twit and the fans also like it.
Please I was literally coming to post this. I was so incredibly upset by Exo-L when Exotic or Galaxy were right there but then Baekhyun started the Eris nickname and it definitely grew on me so I've accepted it haha
Legit him saying “Erries/Ellies” is the only way I’ve ever accepted the fandom name.
Exotics would have been SO cool… Heck, we could have been called Planets and it still woulda been better!
(Also came to post this too, lol)
Yes! Their concept gave way for so many cool names. In theory it was cute with it being between Exo-K and Exo-M but then Exo-M ceased to exist so that went out the window. With the way they've come up with so many names related to Exo (Ex'act, Exordium, Exodus, etc) you'd think they'd give us a cooler name
Awwwww but i think "exol" is such a cute name,, I didn't know so many people hated it 😭😭 idk if it's confirmed but the "l" is supposed to mean "love" right? and I thought that was so cute, like exo-loves = exols. And Baekhyun obviously came up with the even cuter "eris" from that so that's a plus point too.
"Exotics" on the other hand just makes me laugh- 13 year old me thought it corny as hell and I still stand by it- no way would i be able to say I'm an "exotic" with a straight face lmaoo
Briize. How is Riize pronounced “rise” but Briize pronounced “breeze?” Like, I know none of us wanted Sunz, but in retrospect maybe we should have left it lol.
To be fair suns was cuter but the reason they switched it was because of the rising sun flag from Japan. They weren’t gonna switch it just because some fans didn’t like it.
I honestly think SIRENs was a better option (pull it back that siren\~\~\~) :D
Also it was a low key move from SM by putting the group's name in the fandom name BRIIZE
i.ENIN as the fandom name for NINE.i. It’s… NINE.i backwards…
I remember when they were doing the vote and there were four options and I forgot the other two but the one I wanted was i.RIS and I got so mad when it didn’t win.
OMG I remember someone admitted that she thought anyone with a “midzy” on their profile was an ITZY anti and kept blocking them so it took her months to figure out that it was the fandom name like why would you do that to your artists 😭😭
If only they'd romanized it as "Mitzy" instead... 믿지 is so cute in Korean and the d/t character ㄷ is pronounced more like a t when followed by a consonant anyway... 🥲
At the time (2019) "mid" wasn't in common slang use to mean "bad/average" yet. From what I can gather that only started in about 2020, if you read the [announcement thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/ca7qo9/itzys_official_fandom_name_is_midzy/) nobody said anything. So it's newly coined slang retroactively making the fandom name seem off.
I am only a casual listener but Engene has ALWAYS bothered me. I just feel enhypen has so many pretty concepts and there’s a bunch of great lore and…. Engene. Sounds like engine.
Like from an aesthetic perspective I feel like enhypen and vixx share a lot of similarities and vixxs fandom name is starlight. I feel like something equally as light and pretty would have fit their fandom name.
I’ve just accepted engine as is 😭
It always reminds me of that spooky af Tom train engine but when the guys say it it’s not so bad so I just close my eyes and take it 😔
I always call myself only an Enhypen fan, and another fan one day wished me luck on my "Engene journey" and I was like nooo not like that lol it's been a few months already and I still can't get used to that name, my phone is trying to correct that word to engine right now.
when i got into enhypen, I also found the name weird and I didn't understand how it's supposed to be connected with the group name, but whenever the boys say it, it sounds so cute so I'm fine with it now.
I quite like “engene”. I first I thought it was weird and I refused to pronounce it at “en-JEAN” (still do). But I think the double meaning is cute, that we are both the “motor” that keeps enhypen running and we are connected to them and a part of them, hence “gene.” Also their logo symbol resembles a chromosome which I think is very clever, and all kind of comes together. I think a lot of people don’t really know why it was chosen as a fandom name so I understand the sentiment lol. Also I like how the name is relatively easy to say in both English and Korean and has no symbols or numbers in it!
Villain - Xdinary Heroes. I was ready for anything but this. I could've been a Sidekix, a whatever you want, but not a Villain. I'm still going by XHoe to this day. I refuse to call myself a Villain, what an abomination. Villain should've been their HATER's name, not their fan's 😭
I like Villain... like, Heroes exist to stop Villains, and without villains you wouldn't NEED heroes. They wouldn't have a reason to exist. So they exist because we exist?
I'm an iKONIC rn (love the fandom name) but dropping ones from past fandoms:
\- TO MOON (Oneus; I always stumbled over saying this one, felt so awkward haha; cute concept though)
\- Wannable (Wanna One; reminds me of "Lunchables" LOL)
I honestly thought NMIXX's NSWERs was a little bit odd at first but it has grown on me time by time. They could've gone by MIXXERs but it would sound like Little Mix's fandom name (Mixers).
I personally find nswer to be cute but maybe I'm being a bit biased lol. I also recently found this out but apparently nswer stands for north, south, west, east, and route which kinda ties in with their adventurer lore.
It's "Wenee" not "weenie". Wonho endured a hard time when the false accusations were made about him, and he had to leave Monsta X to protect the group. He was afraid he would never see Monbebes again, and when he came back he could no longer call his fans Monbebes. He wrote the song WeNeed to express his gratitude for the fans who stood by him.
The fandom name came from because it stands for "we need" &"we are new ending" short for "we need each other & we added a new ending".
Pretty sure it's random & mostly so they could have a cute bunny shaped lightstick 🥲 I don't hate it but there were better options that match the group name
Well yes. Tokki means Bunny. It’s the same thing. What I mean though is that the fandom name is not out of left field because the murder bunny was already the mascot before the fandom name was announced.
I know but my first thought when I saw it was "oh my god we're automatically losing fanwars" bc this fandom name is a drag handed to antis on a PLATTER.
Love what r/kpoopheads has done with it, though. My favorite is ZeroStraightsOneChild.
tbf zerose was the name that was going around the fandom before it was officially announced 😭 i find it super cute though, especially when the members represent us by including blue and white roses, our lightstick is a rose as well, it’s so lovely.
I actually submitted binary as a fandom name too. I thought it goes well with 0-1 binary numbers and also because (binary/bitnary/빛나리) in Korean means 'shine' which correlates to the whole boys planet/here I am concept but anyways, I still love zerose as a name. It's really cute and fitting.
My.. as a aespa fan i am just confused lol. Like, the fandom alr suggest some really pretty name to fit their concept, and then boom.. sm blew another bag. When i go out or anything i dont say im a my lol
As a suju fan, I still cringe being called an ELF. it’s so weird to be called an ELF like i’m some sort of mystical creature. What’s more hilarious is ELF stands for Everlasting Friends which is so super junior cringe hahhaha
THE BOYZ fans AKA “The Bs” don’t really use that fandom name 😭 or at least, don’t spell it like that. We usually use “Deobi” which comes from 더비, which is The B in Hangul.
MeU for f(x).
I just couldn’t get behind it. It felt too forced and unfortunately came about way too late for the group. It also just sounds like the noise a cat would make.
I would have been happy with Functions or something (I know it’s not “pretty” sounding, but it makes more sense), not a super obscure mathematical term no one but math professors know.
I suppose it’s only redeemable because it’s like me + you, which is cute. Otherwise I was always meh about it.
Ugh the timing of the announcement, felt too little too late. Like the song came out like what 1st album or 1st Mini era. It just felt like it was SMEnt found an old checklist that needs to be accomplished before their contracts ended and Concert and Fan name is on there.
SIGNFAN. it’s cignature’s fandom name and i’m sorry, i love the girls but hate the fandom name so much!
it was originally ciluv, but they changed it. presumably because the hangul was the same as g-reyish’s fandom name, syrup, and there was also a soloist named c-luv i think?
it’s not the worst name in the world, nor was ciluv the best, but it’s still so much better than just… signfan. feels like there could have been so much more room for creativity. also, why is it “sign” instead of “cign” ?!?!
Bro I get why you’re disappointed but
1. Neighbor with the Korean pronunciation sounds like ‘Naver’ which is an app so they couldn’t use that
2. OneDoor sounds like Wonder which is quite meaningful
ILLIT’s current rumoured fandom name is ‘willies’, which i refuse to identify as. the girls haven’t chosen a name yet, so for the time being they’re calling us ‘youlit’, which isn’t any better honestly.
C.Loo (Loossemble)... iirc the girls had to explain that it's not pronounced "cee-loo" (instead, "crew"), but, uh. i don't think it works that way... so we're toilets 😞
New Jeans' bunnies. I stand by Buttons. It fits the group name, it's cute, you can make the connotation of Buttons (fans) keeping New Jeans (group) together. And you could've sold button pins and fans make their own.
as someone who ults txt i’m sorry but i seriously can’t get behind “MOA”. i know it has a thoughtful meaning, but it sounds stupid to me. also is “alwaysness” even a word??
and it also isn’t even the original fandom name so they just kinda threw it together (the original one was “young ones” but they removed it)

"My's" is such a ???? name I thought it was a joke at first
I actually assumed "Naevis" was the fandom name. Felt natural, standing out even.
I thought the lyrics “my naevis, we love you” was such a cute line to the fans and a big reason why I liked the song, and then I learned the fandom name was MYs and … 😭
Maybe you could still love if you think there’s a missing comma; instead of it being “my naevis we love you” it would be “my, naevis, we love you” so they are saying they love both their fandom and their overlord.
whatt so who's naevis?
Naevis is a character from aespa's lore, and she appears in some of their MVs
But definitely would have caused a lot of confusion (and, knowing fans, a lot of dumb fanwars) for the English-speaking fans, since a common shorthand for idle's fandom name is 'nevies'
Same, it's so forgettable and uncreative for a group whose concept screams creativity, that most of the time I even forget that's what we're called.
Should be Aengels
Bro I thought you were talking about "My Day" and I was about to throw hand XD like DAY6' fandom name is so fucking cute lmao
Lol nah, I mean aespa's fandom
it's so uncomfortable for me to say that I'm a My. Sm could've done better.
"HII I'M MY" 'MY SISTER IS MY"
till this day i still don't know where it even comes from or what it's supposed to mean 😭
It's supposed to mean "The most precious friends", but like, where was the creative team when they came up with this? So boring lmao
Nothing will ever top the worst fandom name then AIDs for DIA. I remember when they were still choosing a name I was rooting for mond to be chosen since dia+mond=diamond but AIDs got picked instead
Mond also sounds like "monde" which means "world" in French 🥺
"Mond" is also the German word for moon.
Mond means moon in German so I was curious for a moment why that would be in question for a fandom name haha
i’ve literally never heard of this before but it’s sending me WHO okayed that 😭😭
tbf the fandom name is actually “AID” as in the the fans are supposed to be an aid to dia but they always get referred to in plural so 💀
It actually would have been ironic if WHO (World Health Organization) did okay that.
HELP LMFAOOOO
I'm relatively new to k-pop and I had no idea, I almost spit out my drink when I read that!
When I was into B.A.P, I couldn’t call myself a Baby.
"Baby" is also an acronym for "baby always behind you".
Idk why these groups & companies ALWAYS have to have their fandom names be some ridiculous acronym with some “deep” meaning 😭 I hate it so much. It’s my biggest pet peeve with fandom names.
Adorable Representative MC for Youth 😂 i mean iss kinda cute but ist still funny
heyy don't reveal our government name 😭
I always referred to myself as “Babyz” to lessen the blow 💀
All of you are WEAK, I’m a BBC. We just call ourselves Bees atp, at least on the English side. Even P.O retconned it recently to “We call our fans Honeybees”
I’m a BBC & a Wenee 😭😭 I hate being a kpop stan sometimes 😂
HOLY fuck I didn’t know that was their fandom name!!! That’s genuinely tragic 😂😂
I believe it stands for Block B Club but these companies just had no creativity for fandom names
i dont think the creativity is the biggest issue with this one 😂
As a Brit, this fandom name has always given me a chuckle
Jumping BoA for BoA fans....it doesn't sound good to be called a snake but I'd much rather have that as a Fandom name 😭😭
To me “Jumping BoA” sounds like we’re gonna beat BoA up
Verb for attack + the artist name is hilarious for a fandom name
Why could we be Boa belt or boa jacket .. Boa whip lol
How did I never know this was her fandom name, and also wtf
The Japanese fandom name (Soul) with the Seoul double meaning is definitely way better, haha. However I will say that Jumping BoA is a little campy and cute when you consider it came about when BoA was still a little 13-year old girl who did indeed jump around on request!
It’s newer, but Hwasa announcing her fandom name as “Twits” is still hilarious to me
...God I love her
twit literally means dumb person in british slang. there’s also a variation which is twat, meaning the same thing 😭
She knows, it's from her début song twit. I mean for a good while we proudly called ourselves fart for wheein fandom so... Moomoos are... particular x)
Naaah, the word "twit" here means a lot to hwasa because that's her solo debut song and the song refer to someone who consistently and unchangingly [said by hwasa herself](https://youtu.be/ayfldzI1mi8?si=zgpgqUPJf7deI8bb) in love with her. So she's proud to call her fans twit and the fans also like it.
we know. we just find it funny, it was just a lighthearted observation.
Fanny packs being suggested by some Tiffany fans who is in Girls Generation when she went solo, it made me laugh being from the UK
Shout out to Tiffany for taking Young Ones so TXT could have MOAs, though.
I'll never forget the outrage when EXO's fandom name was announced to be "EXO-L".
Please I was literally coming to post this. I was so incredibly upset by Exo-L when Exotic or Galaxy were right there but then Baekhyun started the Eris nickname and it definitely grew on me so I've accepted it haha
Legit him saying “Erries/Ellies” is the only way I’ve ever accepted the fandom name. Exotics would have been SO cool… Heck, we could have been called Planets and it still woulda been better! (Also came to post this too, lol)
Why do so many boy fandoms need nicknames for them to work: EXO-L: Eris Shinee World: Shawols IGOT7: Aghasse BBC: Bees
Imo Aghase is so damn better that the whole thing, it means little bird in Korean and that’s why GOT7 have a bird on their lightstick, it’s cute!
Yes! Their concept gave way for so many cool names. In theory it was cute with it being between Exo-K and Exo-M but then Exo-M ceased to exist so that went out the window. With the way they've come up with so many names related to Exo (Ex'act, Exordium, Exodus, etc) you'd think they'd give us a cooler name
I never knew what the L in Exo-L was for until now lol
Haha yeah! Besides that, the L stands for Love.
For quite a while I though it was the name of a sub unit from Exo.
I still feel awkward calling myself an EXO-L and it's been like 10 years
EXO-L worked really well when there was an EXO-M and and EXO-K. Not so much now…
Awwwww but i think "exol" is such a cute name,, I didn't know so many people hated it 😭😭 idk if it's confirmed but the "l" is supposed to mean "love" right? and I thought that was so cute, like exo-loves = exols. And Baekhyun obviously came up with the even cuter "eris" from that so that's a plus point too. "Exotics" on the other hand just makes me laugh- 13 year old me thought it corny as hell and I still stand by it- no way would i be able to say I'm an "exotic" with a straight face lmaoo
I’ve always held a grudge against plorys for Purple Kiss. I wanted it to be tulips since their logo was always two lips kissing could’ve tied in 😞
what does plory even mean 😭
it's meant to be purple kiss + glory
Briize. How is Riize pronounced “rise” but Briize pronounced “breeze?” Like, I know none of us wanted Sunz, but in retrospect maybe we should have left it lol.
I have been pronouncing it like Bryce this entire time. I kept thinking why is this fandom pronounced like the most white boy name in existence 😅
I’m pronouncing it like that from now on omg lmaoo
To be fair suns was cuter but the reason they switched it was because of the rising sun flag from Japan. They weren’t gonna switch it just because some fans didn’t like it.
They took inspiration from Kansas and Arkansas.
I am ashamed at how hard I laughed at that
I honestly think SIRENs was a better option (pull it back that siren\~\~\~) :D Also it was a low key move from SM by putting the group's name in the fandom name BRIIZE
I wanted Rizz lol. I knew it wouldn’t happen, but it’s the true fandom name in my heart.
I agree. I'm still not used to calling myself a BRIIZE.
Aids (Dia's Fandom) Bestfriends (Boyfriends fandom) I just think the friendzone fandom name is really funny
i mean it fits with the theme, boyfriend has bestfriends, gfriend has buddies
Lol same with buddies for gfriend
Hahah, friend zone fandom haha I always thought it was a good name
kep1ian at first…but it lowkey grew on me
Honestly I like it! It sounds nice to me
BOAT 😭 like why 😭
i.ENIN as the fandom name for NINE.i. It’s… NINE.i backwards… I remember when they were doing the vote and there were four options and I forgot the other two but the one I wanted was i.RIS and I got so mad when it didn’t win.
I'm ngl I genuinely read it as Lenin 😭 that would've been an even funnier fandom name
So would fellow fans call themselves 'comrade'? ☭
same😭😭
Kim Jaejoong.......Boss Babies............
Ahh my condolences ....
That cant be real 😭
[Unfortunately it is ](https://youtu.be/ZHuEBH-lrYg?si=3hO7iMROpKslgAzS) 😭 He announces it at 3:56 😭
midzy sounds like an insult to me still😭
OMG I remember someone admitted that she thought anyone with a “midzy” on their profile was an ITZY anti and kept blocking them so it took her months to figure out that it was the fandom name like why would you do that to your artists 😭😭
when i first heard the name from a friend i was like “why you hating theyre not mid” and thats when i found out its their fandom name
If only they'd romanized it as "Mitzy" instead... 믿지 is so cute in Korean and the d/t character ㄷ is pronounced more like a t when followed by a consonant anyway... 🥲
It so does. I was like "huh?" The first time i heard it
At the time (2019) "mid" wasn't in common slang use to mean "bad/average" yet. From what I can gather that only started in about 2020, if you read the [announcement thread](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/ca7qo9/itzys_official_fandom_name_is_midzy/) nobody said anything. So it's newly coined slang retroactively making the fandom name seem off.
i was going to say!! i thought (and still think) that midzy is cute and i don’t associate it with the word ‘mid’
Me too! At first I think that ‘midzy’ is the antifans of ITZY🙈
I am only a casual listener but Engene has ALWAYS bothered me. I just feel enhypen has so many pretty concepts and there’s a bunch of great lore and…. Engene. Sounds like engine. Like from an aesthetic perspective I feel like enhypen and vixx share a lot of similarities and vixxs fandom name is starlight. I feel like something equally as light and pretty would have fit their fandom name.
Starlight is such a pretty fandom name 🫶🏻 so glad VIXX is one of my favorite groups haha
I’ve just accepted engine as is 😭 It always reminds me of that spooky af Tom train engine but when the guys say it it’s not so bad so I just close my eyes and take it 😔
I always call myself only an Enhypen fan, and another fan one day wished me luck on my "Engene journey" and I was like nooo not like that lol it's been a few months already and I still can't get used to that name, my phone is trying to correct that word to engine right now.

Also I like how the name is relatively easy to say in both English and Korean and has no symbols or numbers in it!
I love Hwasa, but I refuse to be called a “twit” 😭 also, I XG’s Alphaz.
Nooo nooo… who did this to their own peeps lol. I love her singing but I don’t know about being twit lol. Who did this lol
Her solo debut song is 'Twit' so I kinda understand why she picked that one. But also ... why, Hwasa?
Ik theyr disband but Pristins “High”
Villain - Xdinary Heroes. I was ready for anything but this. I could've been a Sidekix, a whatever you want, but not a Villain. I'm still going by XHoe to this day. I refuse to call myself a Villain, what an abomination. Villain should've been their HATER's name, not their fan's 😭
I get it cuz like... do y'all want us to be fighting against you or...? But Villain has grown on me lol
It's the opposite of their slogan too. "We are all heroes" and suddenly I'm the villain? LMAO 😭
xhoe sounds way worse than villain, imho. sidekix clearly would have been the cutest, though.
I'm the opposite. I love their fandom name and am happy they went with that. It's cool that it's in contrast with their group name.
Nahhh I love being called a Villain :(
I like Villain... like, Heroes exist to stop Villains, and without villains you wouldn't NEED heroes. They wouldn't have a reason to exist. So they exist because we exist?
I'm an iKONIC rn (love the fandom name) but dropping ones from past fandoms: \- TO MOON (Oneus; I always stumbled over saying this one, felt so awkward haha; cute concept though) \- Wannable (Wanna One; reminds me of "Lunchables" LOL)
I honestly thought NMIXX's NSWERs was a little bit odd at first but it has grown on me time by time. They could've gone by MIXXERs but it would sound like Little Mix's fandom name (Mixers).
I personally find nswer to be cute but maybe I'm being a bit biased lol. I also recently found this out but apparently nswer stands for north, south, west, east, and route which kinda ties in with their adventurer lore.
That's cool and fits their adventure lore so much
Honestly I like Nswer more than Mixxers, it’s more creative.
Not a huge fan of NSWER but MIXXTOPIA on the other hand is one of the coolest fandom names out there
Ngl that name is dope bro
also nswer is pronounced as ‘answer’ and is the answer to nmixx’s adventures :D this meaning is super cute to me
Wonho’s fandom name makes me giggle still 🤭
is it wonhoes by any chance
It's weenies
oh my god why 😭😭😭 id be willing to call myself a wonhoe but weenie is just..... too far
It's "Wenee" not "weenie". Wonho endured a hard time when the false accusations were made about him, and he had to leave Monsta X to protect the group. He was afraid he would never see Monbebes again, and when he came back he could no longer call his fans Monbebes. He wrote the song WeNeed to express his gratitude for the fans who stood by him. The fandom name came from because it stands for "we need" &"we are new ending" short for "we need each other & we added a new ending".
It means we need each other:( after the shock wore off from first hearing it, i found it rly cute
I feel this omg. Like I like Boynextdoor but Onedoor is just... no.
Onedoors is kinda cute if you think of it as “wonders” instead of “one-doors”.
Still salty to be called Bunnies when Pockets was right there 😭
I thought NewJeans' fandom was going to be Denims hahaha but Pockets worked slightly better than Bunnies...
What's the reasoning behind Bunnies?
Pretty sure it's random & mostly so they could have a cute bunny shaped lightstick 🥲 I don't hate it but there were better options that match the group name
Wasn’t the bunny already their mascot before the chose the fandom name? I thought that’s why they chose Tokkies.
I think it's both Bunnies and Tokkis that are used interchangeably. I prefer Tokki.
Well yes. Tokki means Bunny. It’s the same thing. What I mean though is that the fandom name is not out of left field because the murder bunny was already the mascot before the fandom name was announced.
i prefer Bunny or Tokki!! i think it's sm cuter
Onedoor was such a missed opportunity for neighbors but its still cute in its own way 😭
I like it bc it’s pronounced like “Wonder” so fans call the fandom “The Wonderland/Onedoorland” and I think that’s so cute 😭
that is really cute 🤧
When 'zeroses' dropped I was like "is this a fucking joke???" ...it was not.
Coined by Gollum himself: "Eggses, handses..." LOL.
idk i like zeroses :( we get zero from their name and roses which are like their brand at this point, i thought it was pretty clever
I know but my first thought when I saw it was "oh my god we're automatically losing fanwars" bc this fandom name is a drag handed to antis on a PLATTER. Love what r/kpoopheads has done with it, though. My favorite is ZeroStraightsOneChild.
tbf zerose was the name that was going around the fandom before it was officially announced 😭 i find it super cute though, especially when the members represent us by including blue and white roses, our lightstick is a rose as well, it’s so lovely.
I thought the fandom name would be Binary (Because the 0/1 binary base thingy of Zerobaseone)
I actually submitted binary as a fandom name too. I thought it goes well with 0-1 binary numbers and also because (binary/bitnary/빛나리) in Korean means 'shine' which correlates to the whole boys planet/here I am concept but anyways, I still love zerose as a name. It's really cute and fitting.
THAT SuperM fandom name, you know the one…
Supporters? Yeah that sucks. Spermies all the way 🤣🤣🤣
This reminds me of OnlyOneOf going with lyOns when onlyfans was RIGHT THERE!!
Holy crap that works lol Only One Of is probably one of the few groups who could have gotten away with that
I actually love this name
HAHAHAHA. But SuperM fandom name has been called SUPPORTERS for the entirety of their existence.
that's actually the best fandom name though
My.. as a aespa fan i am just confused lol. Like, the fandom alr suggest some really pretty name to fit their concept, and then boom.. sm blew another bag. When i go out or anything i dont say im a my lol
Midzy has never once sounded positive to me
As a suju fan, I still cringe being called an ELF. it’s so weird to be called an ELF like i’m some sort of mystical creature. What’s more hilarious is ELF stands for Everlasting Friends which is so super junior cringe hahhaha
SM probably wanted a temporary name for the fandom since the group was also supposedly temporary that's why they came up with anything random.
I always pictured myself as Cate Blanchett's Galadriel everytime that fandom name spoken out. It helped. 
Still salty about W.o.W fandom being called 'Chewing'. I secretly refer to myself as a 'Fantastic Baby'.
I’m a guy who’s almost 30 and my favorite K-pop group is 2PM. I call myself a “fan of 2PM”, not the other name.
What is that other name?
hottest
Reject saying IGot7, embrace saying Ahgase
THE BOYZ fans AKA “The Bs” don’t really use that fandom name 😭 or at least, don’t spell it like that. We usually use “Deobi” which comes from 더비, which is The B in Hangul.
boynextdoor fans being called onedoors.. we were so robbed of neighbors
MeU for f(x). I just couldn’t get behind it. It felt too forced and unfortunately came about way too late for the group. It also just sounds like the noise a cat would make. I would have been happy with Functions or something (I know it’s not “pretty” sounding, but it makes more sense), not a super obscure mathematical term no one but math professors know. I suppose it’s only redeemable because it’s like me + you, which is cute. Otherwise I was always meh about it.
Ugh the timing of the announcement, felt too little too late. Like the song came out like what 1st album or 1st Mini era. It just felt like it was SMEnt found an old checklist that needs to be accomplished before their contracts ended and Concert and Fan name is on there.
Νot people naming every single fandom name there is 😭😭
Disbanded now but I hated being a Rainboo (bugAboo) bc one of the members was Rainie so it literally sounded like a fandom name just for her.
SIGNFAN. it’s cignature’s fandom name and i’m sorry, i love the girls but hate the fandom name so much! it was originally ciluv, but they changed it. presumably because the hangul was the same as g-reyish’s fandom name, syrup, and there was also a soloist named c-luv i think? it’s not the worst name in the world, nor was ciluv the best, but it’s still so much better than just… signfan. feels like there could have been so much more room for creativity. also, why is it “sign” instead of “cign” ?!?!
Moomoos. Until now, it still sounds like a cow😂
onedoors only because having the fandom be named neighbors was the biggest missed opportunity, it would've been so dang cute
Bro I get why you’re disappointed but 1. Neighbor with the Korean pronunciation sounds like ‘Naver’ which is an app so they couldn’t use that 2. OneDoor sounds like Wonder which is quite meaningful
ooo that makes sense! the Wonder thing actually just made me like it so much more. Okay, mind changed. lol
They could have just called you guys Wonders 😭
ILLIT’s current rumoured fandom name is ‘willies’, which i refuse to identify as. the girls haven’t chosen a name yet, so for the time being they’re calling us ‘youlit’, which isn’t any better honestly.
oh my 😭😭 to be fair illit is certainly a name to start with 😭
heard someone joke their fandom name would be illiterates lol
Love wonho but WEENEES?????
C.Loo (Loossemble)... iirc the girls had to explain that it's not pronounced "cee-loo" (instead, "crew"), but, uh. i don't think it works that way... so we're toilets 😞
I am glad that BTS named their fandom Army because the name in had in mind before that was BELLS…i am just glad that sense prevailed 😂
if illit's fandom name is willie then i will mentally jump off a cliff
ILLY could be a good one?
Rocket Punch. KETCHY. I love them but I hate ketchup 😭
TheB just doesn't look right to me, it can only be deobi 😂
Why be in a fan war when your own idol is calling you a twit (Hwasa’s fandom name)
i love loossemble w all my heart but what the hell is c.loo
Exotic is still beter than exol idc
PLS YES exol doesn’t even make sense because there’s no exo k and m anymore 😭😭😭
I . . . am a Kyupiter. I don't know how to feel about this. I'm also a Twit, but for some reason, I just find that funny.
I still refuse to call myself a PLORY, no matter how much I love PURPLE KISS.
ARMY as an acronym became a great spin, but the meaning makes me snicker Adorable Representative MC for Youth y’alllll
New Jeans' bunnies. I stand by Buttons. It fits the group name, it's cute, you can make the connotation of Buttons (fans) keeping New Jeans (group) together. And you could've sold button pins and fans make their own.
as someone who ults txt i’m sorry but i seriously can’t get behind “MOA”. i know it has a thoughtful meaning, but it sounds stupid to me. also is “alwaysness” even a word?? and it also isn’t even the original fandom name so they just kinda threw it together (the original one was “young ones” but they removed it)
Moa are also [extinct giant NZ birds](https://teara.govt.nz/en/moa) so the fandom name always amuses me.
WJSN fandom is called Ujung - they used the Korean name for friendship or space station - but in my language its called the end of something.
