Among girl groups, SNSD, BLACKPINK, more have some of the most powerful group names which are imprinted on the public from the beginning.
Here Are 7 Female Acts With Beautiful Group Names – Here Are Its Meanings:
1. Girls' Generation (SNSD)
The name Girls' Generation means, "The time has come for girls to calm down." In particular, SNSD's name is indeed powerful since they debut amid the popularity of boy groups.
Their name also contains concerns from SM Entertainment. The agency dreamed of a pan-Asian group that can attract the attention of all ages and target overseas fans.
2. TWICE
TWICE is also a fitting name for the nine-member group since JYP Entertainment explained its meaning.
According to the label's founder, TWICE means "double appeal" to K-pop enthusiasts, "once with eyes" and "once with ears."
Well, this explains why the "Fancy" singers are not only a visual group but an "all-rounder" team!
3 BLACKPINK
Undoubtedly, BLACKPINK has one of the most interesting names among girl groups. When they debuted, the quartet explained that BLACKPINK is an amalgamation of the colors "BLACK" and "PINK," a color that often expresses the word, "prettiest."
In a deeper sense, their name signifies that they "Don't just look at it pretty." and "What you see is not everything."
4. Red Velvet
Red Velvet may sound odd at first, but it actually projects a meaning similar to the group's concept.
Like the sensuous image associated with the intense and fascinating color "Red" and the classic and soft feel of "Velvet," the team name contains the meaning of attracting the world with colorful and sophisticated music and performances.
5. aespa
The word aespa is an unfamiliar term, but since their debut, the group's name eventually stick to fans very well thanks to their incredible concept and hit tracks.
In context, aespa is a combination of "Avatar X Experience" and "aspect."

6. IVE
The identity of IVE, which debuted in December last year, is much simpler and clearer than the aforementioned groups, but the meaning is beautiful.
IVE equates to "I HAVE = IVE," and said that it contained the story of a complete group, not a story of a growing group.
This means that the group pursues "perfection" rather than freshness like a rookie. They showed high completeness in every aspect from their debut stage to visuals and skills.
