MADEIN has officially given their fandom a name! The idol group’s supporters will now be known as ‘MABY’!
MADEIN Announces Official Fandom Name as ‘MABY’
On October 6, the rookie girl group, which includes former Kep1er members Mashiro and Yeseo, announced that their fans will be called “MABY” (pronounced like the English word “maybe”).
The name is a creative blend of “MADEIN” and the word “BY,” also symbolizing the fans who stand by MADEIN’s side throughout their journey. In their formal announcement, the group explained, “MADEIN + BY (~alongside) means supporting the members by MADEIN’s side. With fans alongside MADEIN, the members will also heal and overcome all the trials and tribulations. Fans who are always on the side of MADEIN, that is the meaning of the fandom name.”
MADEIN is composed of seven talented members, each with a unique background in the K-pop industry. In addition to Mashiro and Yeseo from Kep1er, the group also includes MiU, Suhye, and Gaeun, who previously promoted as members of LIMELIGHT, adding their own experiences and fanbases to the mix. New faces Serina and Nagomi, who gained attention through the survival show “Produce 101 Japan The Girls”, round out the diverse lineup.
The group also debuted in September with their first EP, featuring the title track “UNO.” With their fandom name now official, MADEIN is also poised to make a lasting impact in the K-pop world, and their fans, MABY, will be right there by their side.
For now, MADEIN has not yet revealed any comeback plans. However, fans are also already looking forward to hearing new music from the talented group before the end of the year. Stay tuned for more exciting updates on the beloved rookie girl group.
