It is not uncommon for K-pop idols to don unique stage names while promoting. For example, BTS members Suga, V, and J-Hope all use stage names that are very different to their real names. However, some idols use stage names that fans easily confuse to be their real names.
Here are 10 K-pop idols that you had no idea use stage names!
1. MAMAMOO Hwasa
This Red Velvet has made quite the name for herself -- however, it is not her birth name! Yeri's real name is Kim Yerim.
The idol simply removed the "m" from her name to form her stage name. It is unknown why the idol chose to promote under Yeri, but it definitely worked out for her!
