        BLACKPINK Actually Might Not Have Been Called BLACKPINK But These Other Names

        YG Entertainment

        While we know that BLACKPINK actually originally had a five-member lineup before the debut lineup was set, it’s also interesting that the group actually had a few other names that they could have ended up with.

        BLACKPINK’s JiSoo once revealed this fact during a past interview.

        One of the names that BLACKPINK could have potentially been called by was PinkPunk. It certainly doesn’t exactly have the same ring to it as BLACKPINK, that’s for sure. What do you think of this name?

        Another option on the list was Baby Monster.

        Update: New generation K-Pop fans would recognize this name because YG Entertainment's upcoming girl group is set to be named BABYMONSTER.

        Another name option for BLACKPINK was Magnum.

        The name Magnum actually did circulate around fans of YG Entertainment idol groups in the past as well, especially when the survival program "YG Treasure Box'" was airing.

        BLINKs are quite glad that BLACKPINK ended up as BLACKPINK and nothing else.

         

        What do you think of BLACKPINK's potential group names? Do you like any of them better than BLACKPINK?
