[ENG] BTS - The meanings of their Korean Names (*more facts in the description box)

 

1. Every name of the members is made of Chinese characters. In Korea, you can choose either Chinese characters or pure Korean words for a name. (that's why some names are pronunciated in the same way, but have different meanings) 2. Why did Suga choose "gloss" for his pre-debut stage name? : The word "Yoon-gi(윤기)" can also mean "gloss(潤氣:윤기)". The two Yoongis' are different in Chinese characters, but same in Hangeul. So it IS his alter ego, literally! 3. When you share Dollimja with your siblings/cousins, all of you have the same letter in the SAME POSITION. (Ex. Jimin/Jihyun: Same "Ji" in the first syllable of their given names.) 4. I skipped the meaning of "Gi" in "Yoongi". Because I thought it contains no direct/specific meaning in the context. 其(gi) usually means: "it" or "that". --------- the original picture of Myeonryugwan @1:16 is by 글림자. I got permission to use it and wrote the description on it. I also drew in the circle and the arrow. Link : http://yeon_119.blog.me/220797595107
