Does ugly and cliche name affect the popularity of a group?

Have you ever seen the name of a kpop group and directly thought this must be a nugu or flop group? Honestly, for me names like Saturday, Too, Beauty Box, and Weeekly even with 3 E are very difficult to find on Google especially before unless they are from a large company that has a lot of attention from the media. And wtf with Botopass, GreatGuys and Dustin, like who give the company idea with such horrible name. And not forgetting the onlyoneof, onf and offonoff groups. I thought they are all from the same group, is it difficult for their company to give a different name from another group and be more special with it?

There are also some names from famous groups that I feel quite ugly at first but it is just grows in me like Mamamoo. I like them so much but the first time I heard their name, I couldn’t help but laugh. And Ab6ix reminds me of the name of that masculine gym just for man, sorry. And name like Bts and Twice can kill popularity if used by the wrong group and you know why. Luckily it goes to the right owner.

Honorable mention: If I search 'Solar' in Google, just something related to solar energy that came out and i must add Mamamoo in the back. Like girl, you're famous but your name is hard to search.

How is BTS a cliche name?

It stand for Behind the scenes before bts get super popular. And I know they have longer name but outside of Korea, they're known as Bts than Bangtan Sonyeondan. But cliche maybe not the right word, probably need to reword that again.

Quote from Taehunk

But their name means Bulletproof Boy Scouts, which is far from a cliche. It has nothing to do with behind the scenes.

Errr... The short form, dear. BTS. I stated there that Bts stand for Bangtan Sonyeondan for them. As early fans, before they get popular, you need to type their longer name to get them as the results and if you search for BTS, only bunch of videos about behind the scenes will come out from google. Now you can simply search Bts and they're the first results to come out. And I believe many only know them as Bts especially non kpop fans and not by their official longer name.

I only care for the music not the names.

But how people will stan if their name alone make it harder to find any information about them. I'm interested with this nugu group name beauty box but I give up because it is harder to get information about them because of their name.

Quote from tetetete

how did the bullet proof boy scouts become popular then

BTS. Not their official name I still remember after Bts grow in popularity, fans mistaking any Behind the scenes label as BTS as them.

Quote from tetetete

i heard they used to call bts bbs in the earlier years so when they changed the logo, they also changed the acronym from bbs to bts

Never heard those. I always know them as BTS even when their logo still the bullet proof jacket.

there are kpop wikis where you can find pretty much everything though.

if you have problems finding an artist, I always add 'korean' or 'kpop' in my search.

It is not there as I search them before after find out about a Vietnamese member in there, guess they are in kpop wiki now yet I prefer finding them in social media, tbh.
