During their appearance on comedian Kim Dae Hee’s YouTube channel, (G)I-DLE members Miyeon and Minnie disclosed intriguing details about their pre-debut days. The group, known for its distinctive music and style, almost debuted with a very different concept under the name “Any Color.”

Each member was set to adopt a stage name that combined their favourite colour and an animal, a nod to the four-character name format popularized by the veteran boy group TVXQ.

Miyeon revealed she was to be known as “Green Crocodile,” a name that would surely have stood out. Minnie was assigned the stage name “Pink Mouse,” a quirky and memorable choice. Soyeon, the group’s leader and main rapper, would have been “Yellow Fish,” while Shuhua, known for her striking visuals, was given the name “White Butterfly.”

(G)I-DLE has come a long way since those early days. They have established themselves as one of the leading girl groups in K-pop, known for their powerful performances and hit songs. The group, which debuted under Cube Entertainment in 2018, has consistently pushed the boundaries with their music and concepts.
