GFriend's Umji revealed she hated her name at first.

On July 4, GFriend featured as guests on SBS' 'Cultwo Show', and as a special introduction, the GFriend members told the audience their birth names. Yuju expressed, "We've never done a greeting like this, and it feels strange to introduce ourselves with our birth names."

Umji then admitted, "At first, I really hated the name Umji, but I like it now. I was in the middle of hating the name Umji so much, so I thought of other promotional names. When I think back, it was funny. The names Yeondoo and Ahrang were suggested."


What do you think of the name Umji?

Same girl, my name is used in a few local businesses so I got teased a lot. For the longest time I was going to change it, but then as the quality of people I associated with improved I came to realise it was the idiot's issue, not mine.
