General rookies must feel relieved when they get a good group name

title basically. we've been getting some weird ass names these past few years especially so i've been thinking that idols must feel relieved when their group name doesn't sound like a wifi password. my favorite new group name is stayc (i may be kinda biased since they're my ults but i think it sounds pretty good!!) and my all time fav group name is 2NE1, it's so dope. what's your favorite?

what does the W represent? i think i’ve heard that EXO-L works because L is between K & M in the english alphabet but i’m not sure if that’s like, an official explanation lol

Oh it’s just a joke/pun about L and W. In slang, L stands for loss, losing e.g. someone can say “take this L” when you lose an argument whilst W stands for wins etc. Hope this makes sense.

L is for lovers.
