10 Most Unique K-Pop Idol Names According to International Fans, Rare in Korea - Similar to Foreign Names

There are many similar names in South Korea, including among K-Pop idols. Therefore, some idols choose to use stage names to be more unique and stand out. But some other idols don't need stage names because their birth names are already unique and very different.

Recently, a post made on the popular Korean forum Theqoo highlighted an old Reddit thread where international fans discussed the most unique names among K-Pop idols. The post highlighted some of the latest and most popular responses that amazed Korean netizens with the high interest in K-Pop from foreign fans. Check it out for more details!

Another rare and rarely used name in South Korea is Ryujin. Yup, this one ITZY member doesn't need a stage name to stand out in the K-Pop industry.

Moonbyul MAMAMOO's real name is Moon Byul Yi, where "Byul" in Korean means star combined with "Moon" which means moon, so she has the nickname "Moonstar" among fans. "Byul Yi" also sounds like "Byul-ie", which is usually used as a nickname.

Still from the group MAMAMOO, Wheein also attracts attention from netizens because she has a unique name that no one else in the K-Pop industry has so far.

Just like three-syllable names, a one-syllable name is also not common in Korea. Heojun MADTOWN's real name is Jun. His stage name is a combination of his real name and his family name.

The name Luda stands out because it sounds foreign. In Korea, people often mistake Luda as the stage name of a member of WJSN. On the other hand, Russian fans say that Luda is a very common name in their country.

Not much different from Heojun MADTOWN, San ATEEZ also has a real name in just one syllable. The meaning of the name San itself in Korean is mountain.

Last but not least, the origin of the name Yeo Hwanwoong ONEUS is the name of the Heavenly God in Korean mythology. Because of this unusual name, many misunderstand it as a stage name.
