    Why does that name sound like the name of a horror movie/folklore creature?

    We’re one step away from “Unalive” becoming a real copyrighted term huh

    Feels like K-pop is finally taking notes on how we don’t want more children to debut

  4. Sorry if this is inappropriate to say but ‘unchild’ just sounds like the abortion version of saying ‘unalive’ on tiktok

    that one tweet that goes “you know how judging by a group’s name you know they’re gonna be nugu”… yeah…

    This name works ONLY if the group has a horror/cryptid concept (not that that will ever happen but I can dream)

  7. Trying to stay as positive as I was when I first read iland Yeeun was debuting in STAYC’s junior group but this name is testing me lol

  8. Daychild was already taken so…. Unchild?

    Unless you huck an apostrophe in there and it becomes UNCHIL’D. They’ve got no chill (the Mira Zoey subunit)

    High Up, I can’t wait to see the mental gymnastics for this. I swear if it’s a backronym…

  9. How did this name get greenlit… I hope the company gets bullied into changing it

  10. Horrible name. Maybe they just trademarked it so nobody else would use such a bad name

  11. So every member will be called Unchild something
    Like “Unchild ***jin will be appearing on a drinking show..”

    There’s a collab album between Aimer and Hiroyuki Sawano of the same name lol

    That’s the only other time I’ve heard this “word”

    I remember they changed the High Up Girls name to StayC after the fans reacted to it. Hopefully this happens with this too.

    It’s nothing new for kpop groups to have adolescent terms in group names given the members at least start off young (Teen Top, Super Junior), but I truly can’t decipher what ‘un’ means in this case. Maybe the concept is about growing up and coming of age, who knows 😟

  15. I will keep saying it :

    Never let boomers CEO / Directors make up names for the idols. Last time ABDO and OPEN YOUR EYES. Now this monstrosity.

    Seriously agree, kinda odd name, at worst they should’ve consulted with chatgpt – but no surprise, given that STAYC were nearly called Oriental Girls, Favorites or Molar.

  17. Group names these days feel like they just combined 2 fields on a 2 random word generator

    might as well call them Adult

    Bring back the random combination of numbers and letters. Somehow that was better than whatever the hell this is
