I'm actually really in love with the name.
I think it's really cute, but I'm also worried with a name like that if they're going to milk an innocent concept or if they'll play it off more as a clean/fresh sound.

Either way I'm so ready for their debut these babies deserve it!

i went from having almost zero knowledge about them to going through video after video of their covers and stuff and i just...how are they all so talented!!! it just hit me me that pledis has produced such well rounded groups (because unfortunately their shitty mgmt overshadows the actual idols) and their talent levels >>>>>>> so many other idol groups so i hope they make it big

[benihime99.livejournal.com]

I still think Prestin was better XD

[yoonjeonghan.livejournal.com]

there's not as much of a distinction in korean

[tsubaki874.livejournal.com]

The hangul is '프리스틴' or 'pu-ree-su-teen', so it's 'Pristine' without the 'e'.

The meaning behind Pledis Girlz official name for debut
Pristin = Prismatic + Elastin

it's cute! i think they explained the meaning in their v app but my internet wasn't working long enough to catch it

[dynamite-state.livejournal.com]

It's ok

[nrafx.livejournal.com]

cute! and so many girl group names in the past couple of years have been bad, so i'm def okay with pristin.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

I love it <3 Now pledis better give them a powerful debut, i wont accept anything less cool than GFriend's Rough or Navillera!

[gathyou.livejournal.com]

Awww that's cute! I like it.
I'm SO ready for their debut omg. There's so much talent in this group already.

[lovebeat-down.livejournal.com]

it's a cute name <3

bring on the hard after school level choreography

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

I love the name ! But..

It's sold in my country, I think I have a bottle of it at home too lmao. Can't wait for their debut !!

[yoonjeonghan.livejournal.com]

they're gonna keep us healthy ok

[leopolitan.livejournal.com]

im not gonna let a horrible name stop me from stanning!

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

i like it! im so hyped for their debut

[saltyaf.livejournal.com]

pristin be coming for 2017 rookie award.

i'm ready to stan. just give me the debut date.

[scionofawhisper.livejournal.com]

Do they always smush together English words for a name cause it doesn't sound dumb to them like it does to us? (and we're irrelevant)

Cause it'd be cool if more groups used korean words/names.. :x

[torontok.livejournal.com]

Why spell it "tin" tho? Pristeen could have been cute

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

Pristeen sounds a lot like Pris-teen and they can't exactly be labeled as "teens" forever? Maybe that's why they think naming the group Pristin would be a smarter choice.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

it'd be too similar to seventeen (in hangul it already kinda is), i think fans from both sides would complain.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

i'm really happy about the name, it's pretty! but i'm stil bitter about pledis fucking up the name reveal for everyone that followed the concert online. idk if anyone else watched it but in between songs a screen with 'pledis girlz' on it would appear and right before they performed 'bang!' (they were supposed to reveal the name for the first time during the song), 'pristin' flashed over the screen for a second instead of 'pledis girlz' and it was clearly not intentional cause later they did this (https://twitter.com/squirdol/status/817356314779140097) and it just ended up being super anticlimactic lmao.

and they STILL haven't announced a debut date, this company is hopeless.

[quore.livejournal.com]

right i thought they were supposed to start the countdown for the debut or something like that

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

i... well... it's not BAD but... idk, i would have preferred it to be spelled "pristine" bc there's no way for me to not read it as rhyming with "kristin" and im not into the whole "oh its actually a mashup of two other words" thing either
im sure ill get used to it tho...

[adenar.livejournal.com]

It's ok. I'm sure it'll warm on me. Bring on their debut!

[bubblyshades.livejournal.com]

i like the name, not sure how i feel about the "elastin" part lol but pristin is nice. congrats girls on finally getting your official group name!!

why no debut date @pledis

[quore.livejournal.com]

i like it. could've been worse so i'm content with this name

[aqqueous.livejournal.com]

it could have been worse so i like it

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I like the name Pristin (the explanation is kinda ???? though). And I like that they share a syllable with Seventeen, it's a cute connection that they are from the same "family" for me. (In my family, all siblings share a syllable, i really like it).

[kersekie.livejournal.com]

Pledis must really like that pink and blue combo lell

[zydratee.livejournal.com]

oh thank god i thought pledis girlz was gonna be their name.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

"Pristin = Prismatic + Elastin"

how did they even come up with these words. i have never used these 2 words in everyday english vocabulary

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

right? and with that explanation lol

2+2=??????

[dot-rose.livejournal.com]

Well it's not bad or associated with anything I know of.
So Pledis dodge a bullet there.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

sounds like piss tin

sorry

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

get out of my post and don't you dare to comment on any of my future posts either

bye !
