It is a true fact that it is hard to name idols with the influx of new idols appearing each day. So, at least having a unique and interesting name give the groups hope and a better chance that the group might just be able to survive in the industry.
That is why there had been an increase in more complex and different group names. If you are a fan of an idol group, you should be able to know some. However many don’t know how that name came to be. So how exactly are the idol group’s names created?
The ‘boyfriend-idol’ group BEAST is one of the groups with an interesting behind story for their name. According to Cube Entertainment, the name for the group BEAST was supposed to be BEST, meaning that they will be the best. However one day, AJ, a famous chirographer from America, commented “So Beast!” after watching the members. But of course as the final decision, it was the President of the company who decided to adopt the name.
The promotion team revealed that the group name was going to be B2ST before as well, however they had decided to go with BEAST in the end for the fans overseas.
Like how a human lives forever with the name their parents have given them, we hope that the Korean idols will not lose any of the motivation and passion that they started out with and continued to live up to the name given to them by the creators.
