It’s a shame that because 1US is from such a small company, it didn’t become an issue but of course, it was the talk of the town on Instiz and other idol centered communities
2. ILLIT’s fandom name
ILLIT’s fandom name was LILLY (릴리) at first, which was overlapping with NMIXX’s Lily (릴리) so they ended up putting out a statement that they were changing it
After that, they changed it to LILLYS (릴리즈) but Lilys (릴리즈) was also BlackPink Lisa’s personal fandom name
After a few months of them saying they’d change it, they finally came out with GLIT
“ILLIT’s fandom name changing again… LILLY -> LILLYS, and what next?”
3. SYND8 and CANARY
Canary has the same profile information as Karina’s height, MBTI, etc. and even the name’s characters are the same, but in different orders (카나리, 카리나)
“Stealing from Karina?… HYBE’s virtual girl group member Canary appears with the same height & MBTI”
4. KATSEYE’s fandom name
하이브 신인걸그룹 팬덤명 아이콘즈 이거 진짜 바꿔주시면안될까요???? 트친들은 맨날 씨팔저팔하며 싸우고 이름정병와서 앓아눕고 키빼몸0인 과즙돼지랑 싸워서 이길자신도없고.. 그냥 바꿔주시죠.. 저도 추천트에 뜰때마다 콘신병이 옵니다.. 아우리건데 아정신병

“HYBE’s new girl group fandom name ‘EYEKONS (아티콘즈)’—could you consider changing it???? Fans are always fighting and bickering on Twitter, and there’s no confidence in winning against the ‘fruit juice pig’. Just change it already… Is he obsessed with the word KON(콘)?”

“The last thing that’s making me so annoyed is that they’re using 콘 not with a C but with a K, this is f*cking pissing me off ㅜㅜㅋㅋㅋ If this isn’t iKON, what is it???”
1. Why are they self-sabotaging their own image like that? Seriously HYBE isn’t some small agency, so they don’t need to resort to this level of trolling… This is clear that they have no sincerity and they’re shameless
2. The fact that they’re using those group names as a twin of something that already exists is baffling, stealing is a daily task for them
3. The cancer of the entertainment industry ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
4. They just have 0 creativity
5. No creativity and rude
6. I honestly don’t understand why they had to name the group with US in it? When nicknames derived from the group name are similar or overlap, they naturally shift towards the more popular ones, and in the end, only the fandom that gets affected ends up with hurt feelings and disputes. Honestly, why does this happen…?
7. ONEUS and iKON are honestly a sight
8. The worst company
10. Honestly the only way I see it is that they’re using those low-level techniques for noise marketing
