They are so cute and I'm glad this video came out because I had no idea China-lines names were pronounced that way As far as bias goes, I don't have one yet, but I do like Exy, Xuan Yi, and Yeoreum a lot!
I wonder why. Other than Uniq's Wenhan, all the other Chinese idols romanized names match up p well to how they're pronounced Edit: I think it's Korean pronunciations because I checked the Korean wiki page and the characters used for their full names looks more like the romanized versions
Also, who's your icon? I think I know who, but I'm not 100%
i think they take the chinese characters and just use them as hanja so like you end up with a korean pronunciation, like with exo's chinese names they take the hanja and convert them to chinese characters to be read
That's what it seems like, but I don't speak Korean or Chinese tho.
For Xuan Yi, they have her birth name written as 쉬엔이 (Shui-en-i), but her name ie how she introduces herself is written as 선의, which written is Seon Eui (이 & 의 have basically the same sound) . Birth name Cheng Xiao as 청샤오 (Chung-shya-oh) but name 성소 (Seong So) and last, Zhao Mei Qi is 자오메이치 (Ja-oh may-i-chi) but 미기 (Mi-ki) as name.
Also, there's an up10tion member named Xiao which they pronounce and write just like Cheng Xiao, so the difference in how they write and say the girls' names is deliberate and not just a quirk.
Sorry if you weren't /this/ curious about their names, I just am super interested in this kinda stuff!
actually i was so i appreciate it, thank you! i was reading the hangul w my knowledge of Chinese pronunciation like "ok...these don't match' idk why they couldn't just keep their Chinese names but whateva
right? cheng xiao was originally my fave but then eunseo kept popping up everywhere and then i realized she's the gemini of the group and decided to just give in tbh
im really liking exy, dawon, and seola after watching their lives!! but their vocal line's caught me so i like soobin and dayoung too. but chengxiao seems sooo cool and so does one other girl who looks a little like bora.
its from their first v app broadcast! you can watch here (http://www.vlive.tv/video/5962/%EC%9A%B0%EC%A3%BC%EC%86%8C%EB%85%80WJSN%EC%9D%98-%EC%A7%80%EA%B5%AC%EB%B3%84-%ED%83%90%EB%B0%A9%EA%B8%B0-Chapter1)
cheng xiao, dayoung, xuan yi and seol a catch my eye the most on stage^^ i can tell each girl apart even tho i dont know all the names. why is so much easier to learn girl groups than boys lol i still dont know svt after a couple months and it took me like a year to learn super junior
chengxiao is #1 for me. but also i like exy and eunseo a lot. this video was fun and i really liked the way they introduced all girls but jfc when they paired up bona and meiqi i couldn't even tell the difference (except for eyeliner) even tho usually i don't have this kind of problem with them. i feel like my mind is playing tricks with me
All of them are pretty cute but Xuan Yi and Dawon stood out most to me here (the latter looks like Sooyoung and Eunji's love child wow). Cute girls with cute songs is everything I'm here for.
