The girl group NewJeans carries two overlapping meanings. One: like the jeans each generation reinvents, they aim to be a timeless icon. The other: a homophone of "new genes," signaling a fresh new generation of K-pop.

The group SEVENTEEN has 13 members, yet its name is "17." It stands for "13 members + 3 units + 1 team = 17." They were meant to have 17 members, but 4 left before debut; rather than rename, they kept it. The 13 split into hip-hop, vocal, and performance units.

Original Levi's jeans had a rivet at the crotch. In 1941, the US government ordered it removed to conserve metal for the war, but it never came back after the war ended. Rumor has it the real reason was cowboys complaining the rivet got scorching hot when they sat by a campfire.

Sung Han-bin, leader of ZEROBASEONE, has a name meant to carry both parents' surnames: his father's "Sung" and mother's "Han," joined as "Sunghan," plus "bin." But Korean law bars registering both surnames, so officially his surname is "Sung," given name "Han-bin."
