15 Idols with Friendly Sounding Birth Names

Netizens discuss a list of idols who have friendly birth names.

Since many Korean idols often use stage names or artist names to debut, fans often wonder about their real names. The idols often reveal their real names on variety programs either by telling the name themselves or having a member of their group share it. Sometimes, idols may have embarrassing names or old fashioned names which might be the reasons they have adopted stage names.
