TXT announce fandom name, Tiffany Young fans are NOT impressed. (1 Viewer)

[LeeHoseok]

The chosen fandom name is "Young One"


The only problem, as immediately noticed, is that Tiffany Young has already chosen the name Young Ones for her own fans


Both fandom names are exactly the same in Korean, "영원" meaning "forever" in English
Obviously, fans being fans, this is already a problem, with people on both sides calling for BigHit to address the issue.
What do you think of the situation?

Personally I think BigHit really dropped the ball on this, it can't be that hard to run a check on if a fandom name has already been used before.

disappointed but not surprised. bighit too blinded by all that revenue to see any flaws in how they run things.

Hopefully she trademarked it and thus will get paid each time they mention it. If not bad move.

 

[Lovely_Cornchips]

I hope they don't choose it or stick with it-like that ain't fair to Tiffany or her fans.

Would like to say that I'm surprised. But honestly I'm not...

How long before the bg stans demand that Tiffany's fandom changes their name

Hey i cant be bothered with bg any way, now even more reason to erase big hit acts.

Honestly, it is kinda dissapointing. Not a big deal, obviously, it’s just a fandom name, but still disappointing. I mean part of the reason why we have fandom names is to have a way to indivdualize ourselves, to let people know who we are, and have a special connection with the artist. But now when people say “Young One” they won’t think of Tiffany or her fans (because let’s face she isn’t as well know individually) because now TXT has the same name, and as a YoungOne myself it is kind of upsetting. :(

The other thing is that this name is really special and unique to Tiffany, and I feel like Big Hit just kinda half assed it for TXT. It’s not that it’s a bad name but it wouldn’t have been that hard to think of something else, seeing it was already Tiffany’s.

I've already just seen a few going "its only a fandom name why does it matter"

Urm because Young One has a strong connection to Tiffany, SNSD and the fans...

I don't wanna be a conspiracy theorist but BTS' U.S. manager used to be Eshy Gazit, who also up until recently managed Tiffany Young. Seems a bit odd...

I hope they don't choose it or stick with it-like that ain't fair to Tiffany or her fans.

The fandom name is technically already official, right now everyone's just waiting to see if they'll double down and stick with it or do the right thing and change it.

Already happening for sure.

I kind of hope Bighit says something about this. This isn't fair to Tiffany and I can already see a bunch of TXT fans giving her hate.

 

[mirella]

That's saddening for Tiffany. I hope BigHit realizes this and changes it, because TXT is a new group and their fandom name can literally be ANYTHING.

Considering even TXT fans are demanding a response, it'd be in BigHit's best interest to issue a statement ASAP. There are already plenty I've seen saying "Who?" and basically saying she'll just have to change her fandom name because TXT are bigger, it's sad.

Idk how they came up with the name in the first place but from the announcement it almost looks like it was fan submitted or voted, which means it should be even easier to change.

 

[RandAlThor]

besides they should just be army brats or some such.

 

[Hajima]

lmao mess

 

[twentyfivedollar]

Ah mess. Tbh I always assumed you still keep there fandom name of the group the person was from idk know young ones was the name from Tiffany fans 😅

 

[amourpinks]

bighit should change the fandom name, it's not fair to Tiffany or her fans, they came up with it first.

many soloist choose a solo fandom name. Taeyeon does not because she chooses to stay with Sone. Most SNSD girls have had semi official fandom names for years.
Tiffany went with a whole new name because of her name change as an English artist from Hwang to Young.

 

[Darkseid]

Just name them Army Jr.s or something, Tiffany deserves better
