TXT and Tiffany have the same fandom name, fans want feedback from Big Hit

Posted by yckim124766 pts Thursday, April 25, 2019

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. 

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

  1. Tiffany Young

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 :)

If it were the other way around they would bully Tiffany and send threats her way, so these boys' company needs to change the fandom name
