ZEROBASEONE Fans Express Fury Over Rumored New Boy Group Name
K-pop sensation ZEROBASEONE has once again become the center of intense fan speculation, but this time the discussion isn't about a musical comeback or controversy. Instead, the buzz surrounds a rumored new boy group name that fans are already labeling as "absolutely terrible" and "ugly." The controversy has sparked widespread disappointment across social media platforms.
Members Return to YH Entertainment Sparking New Group Rumors
Following significant contract changes within the industry, several prominent ZEROBASEONE members have made a notable return to their previous agency. Ricky, Zhang Hao, Gyuvin, and Yujin have all rejoined YH Entertainment, their former company. This collective return of multiple idols to a single agency has fueled widespread speculation about plans to debut them in an entirely new boy group formation.
The growing number of returning members has created substantial anticipation among the K-pop community, with many industry observers believing this signals intentional preparation for a fresh debut under the YH Entertainment banner.
Copyright Filings Reveal Potential Group Name
The speculation intensified when fans discovered that YH Entertainment had recently filed several copyright applications that included variations of the word combination "And" and "Double." Among these filings was the specific term "AND2BLE," along with several other configurations of these words.
These official copyright registrations have led many to believe that "AND2BLE" could potentially serve as the official name for the rumored new boy group. The discovery has triggered a wave of reactions across fan communities and social media platforms.
Fan Backlash Over Rumored Name Choice
K-pop enthusiasts have expressed overwhelmingly negative reactions to the possibility of "AND2BLE" becoming the new group's official name. Fans quickly located existing social media accounts on platforms including X (formerly Twitter), TikTok, and Instagram that already utilize the "AND2BLE" name, further fueling the speculation.
The fan response has been particularly strong, with many expressing outright distaste for the rumored name. One fan wrote on X, "petition to fire everyone who thought and2ble was a good idea" while another simply stated, "This can't be real." The general consensus among fans appears to be one of disappointment mixed with frustration at what they perceive as poor naming choices by the entertainment company.
While fans are genuinely excited about the prospect of their favorite idols forming a new musical group, this enthusiasm has been significantly tempered by their dissatisfaction with the rumored name selection. Many have expressed that they feel the name doesn't properly represent the talent and potential of the returning ZEROBASEONE members.
Official Confirmation Still Pending
It is crucial to emphasize that no official announcement regarding the new boy group's name has been made by YH Entertainment or any affiliated parties. The name "AND2BLE" remains purely speculative at this stage, based entirely on fan interpretations of copyright filings and social media discoveries.
The entertainment industry frequently sees such speculation ahead of official announcements, and it remains possible that the actual group name could differ significantly from current rumors. YH Entertainment has maintained silence on the matter, neither confirming nor denying the speculation surrounding their plans for the returning ZEROBASEONE members.
As the K-pop community awaits official confirmation, the debate over potential group names continues to dominate online discussions. Fans remain hopeful that their concerns will be addressed while maintaining excitement for whatever musical projects may emerge from this significant reshuffling of talent within the industry.
