Can you tell us more about the meanings behind you names and stage names? 🤡 anon
Yueliang: thank you for the question! 😍 So, Yueliang (月亮) is both my stage name and my Chinese name. It literally means "moon bright" and that's how people here in Korea call me. Since I was a child, my parents called me using both my Chinese name and my Italian name so I'm used to them both. My Italian name is Luna which is one of the reasons me and our Luna became friends in the first place! 💕 "Luna" is the Italian word for "moon" and my mother chose it to keep the same meaning between my Chinese and Italian name!
Luna: My real name, Eun Byul (은별) means Silver (은, Eun) Star (별, Byeol) in Hangul. In Sino Korean, Eun means kindness, charity and mercy. As for my stage name, I didn't have to look far I have always loved the English name my parents chose for me (they always were interested in astrology so it made sense for them to choose a name that was meaningful for them while not making me look like an utter idiot at school) so I just chose it as it also correlated to the name and concept of our group ♡ Yueliang and I clicked instantly because of our shared name it's one of the very first things we bonded over 😂
Ari: Cool question! So, I have two “real” names and my stage name! My English name, Aria, in Italian means ‘melody,’ so kind of perfect for someone who went into the music industry 😂 And my Korean name, Ara (아라), well, it was close to my English name! 😂😂 And my stage name is just my English name shortened - nothing too special there!
Mina: my Korean name is Hae Min (해민) - „Min“ means bright, clever or talented while "Hae“ translates to „a girl who is like the ocean“. my parents were clearly hoping for a clever girl (which they got, if I may say so myself), and being like the Ocean actually does fit my character quite well too, I think: it can be soft and calm, it can be stormy and angry, it is deep (and salty), and always has a bit of a mystery to it 😉 I was also born in Busan, which is located directly by the sea - so this makes it even more fitting, I think 🥰 and Mina kinda stems from my Korean name - Hae Min -> Hae Mina -> Mina ... I just tried to make an international or more westernized version of it 😂
Rin: my Korean name is Euirin (의린), 의 for loyal and 린 for jade. so essentially im a loyal jade HSHSJSJS anyways ye i took Rin from my name! idk whether the name fits me because how do i judge hehe
Skitz: I actually made a small post about that you can read here but essentially it’s ‘cause of my clumsiness I have my name hahaaaa
AJ: My real name is Aejeong (애정) which means ‘affection’ in Korean! I really love my name and I thought that I didn’t want to change it so much. Fun fact, the company wanted me to debut under another name (that I didn’t like at all) but I refused and we agreed on AJ in the end, which is basically just my initials!
