DSP introduces two members for their upcoming new girl group 'April'

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

it was then revealed that the group name, April doesn’t really refer to the month of April; rather, it was the combination of A (meaning best) and pril, which stands for lovely femininity. The logo, which features a partial heart, then represents the group’s incomplete heart that will be filled and completed by the fans’ love.

"pril, which stands for lovely femininity" source???

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

lmao ikr, but upon googling it i found this http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Pril

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

ah yes... im sure thats what they had in mind

*tugs collar*

it's dutch. it's a cute word tbh. think flowers, mornings, early beginnings
but yeah not 'lovely femininity'. I mean you can can associate youth and 'untaintedness' with lovely femininity, but pfffff. awkward.

now there's a concept i can get behind

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

these teasers are so classy and pretty but boring lol i hope theyre not gonna be another lovelyz/gfriend

A (meaning best) and pril, which stands for lovely femininity

[adenar.livejournal.com]

we all had the same 'bwuh' reaction to 'purfles' that we're having to 'pril' but look where we are now

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

well, anyone who hears abt april after this round of made-up pre-debut etymology will think "oh, like the month" and leave it at that
if there was an explanation for purfles i was not around to hear it

[adenar.livejournal.com]

isn't that how most kpop bands work these days though? name means something basic and pretty but they ~have to have an alternate meaning that means something~ that no one will remember except the fanbase anyway
purfles is apparently an outdated word for decorations/to decorate

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

i have no idea tbh. if there's a hidden meaning behind all these groups' names i'm not familiar w most of them
at least groups like AOA and CLC go around saying "ace of angels" and "crystal clear" a lot
oh and of course there's "new evolution of the 21st century" 2ne1 lol

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

it's a ridiculous trend in kpop. my all-time fave is mblaq meaning music boys live in absolute quality, i kid you not

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

wow... the wild world of boy groups

[forsureyoudo.livejournal.com]

they should focus on the groups they already have and flopped except kara

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

omg puppy.. funnily enough the first girl looks a bit like hara and the second a bit like youngji

[xkat-attackx.livejournal.com]

Lol this company is flopping though. Shouldn't they just focus on the acts they have? I feel like it's been forever since A-JAX released anything.

[wi-arae.livejournal.com]

ugh Somin was my fave because she was badass now she's stuck with this fake ass pureconcept ...
We're already cursed with Apink we don't need other ~we'ere innocent not sexy~ yet still openly sexual groups.

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

chaewon better be in this

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

giving me seven springs of apink teas

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

I want them to be successful, but this is DSP. They'll get promoted once and then DSP will forget they exist (like they did with A-JAX and A'ST1) and go back to promoting KARA.

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

i remember there was a contest to design their logo... i wonder who won it? it looks unique!

[donutism.livejournal.com]

KARA's Japanese money is the only thing saving DSP right now.

[lobotronic.livejournal.com]

so they're just letting Rainbow die? a year of no activities, 2 weeks of promos and nothing? and then they debut a new group?

gross, DSP. so gross. Jiyoung and Nicole were so smart to leave.

[lunarui.livejournal.com]

1996??? Getting closer to my age...his must be how it feels to get old :///

[chibi-rei.livejournal.com]

Ah there's Somin. Glad to see she's debuting.

[existingisfunny.livejournal.com]

Just waiting for my Baby Kara fav Chaewon to debut.

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]
