Date: 2018-07-09 06:03 pm (UTC)I mean I guess they wanna say fans gravitates towards/around the girls but if that's the case 'orbit' isn't the appropriate word (not exactly), then again this is kpop and I should stop trying to understand fandom name

Date: 2018-07-09 06:16 pm (UTC)Satellite would be more appropriate but the word isn't as pretty as 'orbit'. Selene or any various aroudn the moon could have worked
Ultimately I get what they're implying (the gravitation, the pull towards the girl, even the sense of belonging) and the moon does orbit the earth but the word isn't appropriate per se. It's more like a pet peeve than anything XD

Date: 2018-07-09 07:28 pm (UTC)위성 is the korean word for satellite (ui-seong), but if they were to go with the english word it'd probably end up being four syllables - sa-tel-li-teu

no subject
Date: 2018-07-09 07:39 pm (UTC)Bit would be pronounced the way 'bit' in a little bit is pronounced.
So not quite like orbit in english at all :)

Date: 2018-07-09 07:43 pm (UTC)I'm not sure I like the sound of it but I'll have to see how the girls say it
Edi: would that be the usual spelling for orbit (in korean I mean)?
