It overlaps with the name of a group of boys.
KATEYE recently made a successful debut on M!Countdownmarking their first foray into South Korean promotions.
Originally a global group debuted between HYBExGEFFEN through Academy of DreamsThe girls started out with a larger international fanbase than their Korean one. Lately, with the success of “Touch,” their Korean popularity has skyrocketed. With their growing recognition in South Korea, some fans of the K-Pop boy group icon they raised the issue of KATSEYE’s fandom name. Their fandom name is currently EYEKON, or EYEKONS for plural. The singular form is pronounced and written exactly like iKON.
Hive girl group ICONZ’s new fandom name can you really change it???? Twitter friends are always arguing and fighting, and I’m sick and sick, and I’m not sure I’d win in a fight with a pig with a height of 0. Please change it.. Also I get consin disease every time I appear in a recommended chat.. sorry, but I’m mentally ill.

Can’t they change the fandom name of the new girl group HYBE, FR? People on X are fighting all day every day about this. This fan war over names hurts me so much, so much that I have no confidence in fighting against that overweight juicy pig… Please just change it… Every time I see it in my suggested posts, I get so angry… This is ours… Ah, I’m getting sick again.

What’s worse is that all the members of iKON are currently serving in the military. They probably don’t know anything about this matter.
Think carefully, Hive.. All iKON are in the army.. iKON doesn’t know the current situation.. they have been discharged.. they will come out.. If that girl group makes a comeback.. I missed ICONZ😭😭 If you say iKON behind them, the icon behind you is a Ziddle fan They thought that was it and were so damn embarrassed??? This is the end of K-pop with the same name.

Please consider this, HYBE. All the members of iKON are in the military… They don’t know what’s going on… Then they’ll be discharged… And they’ll go promote on music shows… And if that girl group comes back… They’ll be like “EYEKONS, we missed you!” and iKON will be backstage thinking they’re their fans. It’s so embarrassing! This is literally the worst case scenario for overlapping names in K-Pop.

Their complaint has reached over 990,000 views on X. Other fandoms have weighed in regarding HYBE’s perceived lack of consideration when it comes to naming.
Wow, you did it again?
Oneus has the courage to debut with Tours.
Just yesterday I changed the name of Aylit fandom to Release after getting criticized.
Was the only real morality to eat dog food instead of grains?
What’s the point of this name? It’s like a parody of a real life idol appearing in a webtoon. It’s so fake— Not in his right mind (@jejeongs1n_nono) September 12, 2024
Wow, they did it again? ONEUS is still active, but they debuted with a group called TWS (‘Two-us’ in Korean), called the ILLIT fandom Lillies, and got cursed, so they changed it. That was so recent too. Damn, they literally have no morals. All their names are like parody names of real idols that appear in webtoons. They’re fucking insincere.

Previously, YOUThe fandom name of has been announced as Lillies. Due to an overlap with NMI XX‘S Lilyas well as BLACKPINK Lisathe name of the fandom, they eventually re-announced it as GLLIT.
