As K-Pop continues to grip the global audience with its vibrant music and charismatic idols, one aspect that particularly resonates with international fans is the use of English names by some of these idols. Whether these are names they were christened with at birth or monikers chosen for their international persona, these idols have seamlessly integrated English names that effortlessly align with their distinctive personalities.
Curated through fan opinions, we present to you a list of K-Pop idols who have captivated audiences not only with their talent and charm, but also with their appealing English names!
Born Roseanne Chaeyoung Park, she decided to adopt the English part of her name as her stage name, and honestly, it could not have fitted her any better! The name Rosé perfectly captures her in essence; elegance, grace, and sweetness.
Choi Yeonjun picked Daniel as his English name, and it was the name he used while he was living in the US when he was younger. Fans say the name suits him, which signifies his youthful energy and passion for music.
He uses his Korean name as his stage name, but every fan (and even non-fans!) knows that he goes by the name Chris, and it perfectly suits him! He is not only Stray Kids' best leader but one of the sweetest and warmhearted idols out there.
The New Six Kyungjun
Another Australian making it to the list, Kyungjun, goes by the name Justin, and according to P1Harmony's Keeho, the name Justin suits him perfectly! He has the sweetest smile and personality; you'd want a Justin of your own! He's Justincredible.
The entire industry knows him for his English name compared to his Korean name (Lee Minhyeong), and with how crazy talented he is, he most certainly deserves the spotlight. The boy has been making his MARK since 1999.
To better embody her fearlessness, Eunchae chose Eve as her English name, and it perfectly screams her ethereal charm and grace. Eve Hong is our queen indeed.
Uchinaga Aeri used to wear headbands a lot during her trainee days, so her trainers gave her the name Giselle to fit her elegant and alluring vibe, which she used for her stage name.
Kim Yerim has chosen the name Katie as her English name, and fans could not agree more about how the name fits her youthful energy and vibrant personality! If she were to appear on the second season of XO, Kitty as Katie Kim, I bet fans would be thrilled.
Nicha Yontararak, the group's ACE (everyone in that group is an ACE, tbh), chose the name Minnie as her stage name, and no one can rock that name as well as her.
ZEROBASEONE Ricky
Shen Quanrui, better known by his English name, Ricky, captivated fans from day 1, with his overflowing confidence and charisma. Even pre-debut, he has gained so many fans, there's no stopping him when he does debut with the group this July!
In case you didn't know, our queen Wonyoung has chosen the name Vicky to be her English name, and there's no one else working that name better than she is.
If you know Sunoo, you will see that he has a very bright energy, and his English name could not have matched him more! Melody being his English name perfectly captures his bright and cheerful personality!
