Has any of the artists you have liked changed their stage name? or dropped it? what has been the reason?

There is a Korean artist named G.Soul that i enjoy listening to. In 2019 he changed his name to Golden. Then after some time, he changed back to G.Soul.

i don't know why he did this

Rap Monster becoming RM cause Rap Monster is cringe

Basically every ex-Kpop star who goes into acting changes their stage name

Also I remember Hana of Secret used to go by Zinger because of Nicole Scherzinger and that's the most random celeb lol so she changed it to Hana

The whole Winner and some iKON members

I still call them by their real names

Edit: apparently, YG wanted to make things easier to international media/fans.

not really a fan but Mulatto changed her name to Latto, a really good decision on her part bc i know her name could def be a turn off for some people

Quote from quarkie

Jinyoung went from JR to Junior to Jinyoung and JB became Jay B (he also releases music under the name Def. which is his composer credit).

Jooheon changed his stage name to Joohoney because it helps international fans pronounce his name more correctly.

i lowkey get confused sometimes and get hopeful bc Miryo dropped an album titled "Miryo aka Johoney" years ago, so whenever i see the name i'm hopeful
