During their appearance on comedian Kim Dae Hee’s YouTube channel, (G)I-DLE members Miyeon and Minnie disclosed intriguing details about their pre-debut days. The group, known for its distinctive music and style, almost debuted with a very different concept under the name “Any Color.”
Each member was set to adopt a stage name that combined their favourite colour and an animal, a nod to the four-character name format popularized by the veteran boy group TVXQ.
Miyeon revealed she was to be known as “Green Crocodile,” a name that would surely have stood out. Minnie was assigned the stage name “Pink Mouse,” a quirky and memorable choice. Soyeon, the group’s leader and main rapper, would have been “Yellow Fish,” while Shuhua, known for her striking visuals, was given the name “White Butterfly.”
Yuqi, the group’s charming vocalist, was designated as “Blue Sky.” These unique names were part of a concept intended to make the group memorable and distinctive in the competitive K-pop industry.
(G)I-DLE has come a long way since those early days. They have established themselves as one of the leading girl groups in K-pop, known for their powerful performances and hit songs. The group, which debuted under Cube Entertainment in 2018, has consistently pushed the boundaries with their music and concepts.
In other news, (G)I-DLE is actively promoting their summer comeback with their 7th mini album, ‘I SWAY,’ featuring the title track “Klaxon.” The album showcases the group’s versatility and growth, promising to be another hit in their impressive discography.
Fans are excited to see what new heights (G)I-DLE will reach with this latest release.
