On April 25, Big Hit Entertainment's new boy group, TXT, announced their official fandom name. TXT fans are now called 영원 or 'Young One' which also means "forever" in Korean. The fandom name became an issue as it's also the fandom name ('Young Ones') for Tiffany.
Back in September, Tiffany announced the fandom name at her fan meeting. She stated, "It means forever and you guys are my forevers."
Fans believe the overlap in fandom names is unacceptable, and currently demanding feedback from Big Hit Entertainment. Some are even asking TXT to change their fandom name.
The hashtag #YoungOneForTiffany is being widely used on Twitter for the issue.
@BigHitEnt this name is so special for both Tiffany Young and Her fans. Pls responsible to this.#YoungOneForTiffany https://t.co/42Tbj00CP7

Hiii @BigHitEnt @TXT_bighit I suggest you to do a research before choosing a fandom name because young one already has an owner and it belongs to Tiffany Young #YoungOneForTiffany

빌보드 인터뷰와 미국 아이하트 수상식에서 영원이라는 팬덤명을 언급하였고 그 전 팬미팅 당시 진행하며 자신의 팬들을 위한 이름으로 “영원”이라고 공식적으로 언급했습니다. 티파니는 현재 팬사이트 또한 운영 중이며 가입자들은 “영원”입니다

영원은 이미 사용되고 있는 팬덤명인데 왜 팬덤명 조사도 제대로 안 하고 써? 영원은 티파니 팬덤 이름이니까 영원 말고 다른 거 쓰세요 pic.twitter.com/sgNlfVWB2S
#YoungOneForTiffany 의미도 그렇고 발음도 그렇고 굉장히 많은 뜻이 들어간건데 이런 상황 속상할뿐..십년 넘는 기간 동안의 지켜온 이름 소원에서 비슷한 발음과 티파니 자신의 본 아이덴티티인 한국인 이름 영에서 따온 영원..굉장히 뜻깊은 소중한이름

Many believe Tiffany should be respected as a senior in the industry. What are your thoughts on TXT's fandom name?

Let’s be real here, someone in bighits fucked up. It’s just plain rude to use the same name as an established fandom. A simple apology and name change would be sufficient. That being said, make love not hate 👌🏻 The fans did nothing wrong :)
