Ignoring the fact that every other type of mythical creature has already been taken by Vixx, it will be interesting to see how the unicorn will service Uniq over its career. Though the portmanteau of “unique” and “unicorn” is kind of redundant, the link to unicorns is awesome: the mythical creature is usually so strongly associated with femininity - and especially (female) virginity - but nowadays even boys’ schools, created just to get away from girls, honour them. There was talk of the group training in secret for four years, of YG and Yue Hua sharing managerial duties over the Sino-Korean border, of unicorns… Han Geng even posted the Uniq logo to his Weibo account, but there was still the need for official confirmation of some kind… And it arrived in the form of this:ĭespite all these developments, the group name is my favourite thing about this group.
Option 4 is the answer, though a rather confusing one, at first.
A five-member Chinese-Korean boy band created in conjunction with Yue Hua Entertainment, home to Han Geng and Bibi Zhou, among others.A new project group made up of already-known YG idols from different acts, or.The official name for Pink Punk, YG’s collection of female trainees perpetually in pre-debut limbo.What we’d be calling the survivors of Mix and Match (it was only days later that CEO Yang Hyun-suk instead introduced Ikon to our K-pop lexicon).The spelling and all-caps immediately made it obvious that it was a group name - but for which group? The possibilities considered were: Once an image of said release was made available online, discussion started on just what this mystical new four-letter word meant. K-pop fans were in a tizzy in late August when an official release, announcing YG Family’s Power upcoming concert in Beijing, included a new word for our vocabulary: UNIQ.
