While there is no guarantee, think of it as a psychoanalyzing guess, if an idol has a unique or interesting stage name people will remember them or will have them imprinted in their heads. Which for low tier groups wanting to make it is a big thing.

So assuming there is no legal repercussion for making up your own stage name(I mean if RM can name himself rap monster anyone should be allowed to name themselves anything hehehe) , why don't more idols do it?

inb4 in 2090 there are idols named bigchungus42069

What if it comes to the point where idols have to choose a name that no idol has and it becomes just like usernames online? :sanapray:

i think their company has a say in it especially if its the big3. maybe cause bighit was a nugu ent and didnt mind much that they allowed namjoon to call himself rapmonster. i wont mind if an idol steals my username tho. yerewenseuljoy has a nice ring to it.

Companies pick their stage names. I remember Sowon really rebelled towards her name after debut. She wanted to change it to her actual name, which is Kim Sojung. But the CEO just said "no" lol.

Krystal's Korean name is actually Soojung, not Sojung :P
She went to the CEO and she said she sat down with him and had a long talk about how she wanted to use her original name. She sounded really frustrated. Apparently, the CEO listened and just said "no" at the end lol.
