A catchy name is always a good thing in the world of K-pop, and it looks like the idols have their own ideas on what they should be called. NewJeans made this clear when they were given the chance to get new stage names. Interestingly, only one member of the girl group chose to stay with her current name!
NewJeans Gets New Stage Names For A Day
NewJeans recently participated in an engaging interview with iHeartRadio and Most Requested Live’s “Ask Anything Chat”. During the interview, the group answered questions submitted by fans, covering various topics such as their Chuseok celebrations, their music style for new listeners, and their future aspirations.
In response to a fan’s request for a group roll call, the members decided to have a bit of fun by choosing unique new stage names for the day. This playful twist added an element of humor to their introductions.
Hanni, hailing from Melbourne, Australia, introduced herself as “Cherry Pham” for the day, adding a whimsical touch to her persona. Danielle, who has roots in both Australia and Korea, humorously adopted the stage name “Jerry Jamaica” for the occasion.
Minji, representing Korea, decided to stick with her original stage name. Haerin, also from Korea, followed Danielle’s suggestion and embraced the stage name “Vanessa” for the day, which Minji and Hanni playfully justified by remarking that Haerin resembled a Vanessa that particular day. Lastly, the youngest member, Hyein, from Korea, chose the unique stage name “Colin” for the day.
Fans and netizens had a lively response to these new stage names, with many noting Danielle’s humorous approach and Hanni’s affinity for the nickname “Cherry,” which fans had lovingly used before her debut. The playful and light-hearted nature of the exchange made the interview even more enjoyable for the viewers.
In related news, NewJeans recently dropped the new single “Gods”. It would serve as the anthem for the 2023 League of Legends World Championship, set to be held in South Korea from October 10 to November 19, 2023.
