Issue over same-name singers AJ goes into 2nd round of dispute

[-ochre.livejournal.com]

There has been previously disputes about new singer AJ (Lee Ji Kwang, 19) having the same name of Paran member AJ (Kim Jae Seob, 18).

Even though AJ’s company has come up to clarify that the meaning to AJ’s name is different from that of Paran AJ’s name.

AJ’s company came out to talk again on 22nd, “Our AJ’s name is short for ‘Ace Junior’. We have already discussed this over with Paran’s company, but Paran’s fans have not stopped talking about the issue, furthermore, the AJ is so common not only in Korea but also overseas. You can’t possibly have that one name to yourself.”

Paran’s company then spoke up, “We are very disturbed by some of the netizens’ exaggerated postings online about this issue. The name is just an expression and has no bad intentions to it. We have already talked about this matter with AJ’s company and had agreed to the 2 singers having the same name. AJ’s just a newcomer who just debuted, and needs our help.”

“Rumours of us saying that ‘Paran AJ debuted 4 years earlier’ can really be hurting. And it is not true that our fan club uploaded composite photos of AJ online. To say the truth, if it was a much more popular singer, it would not have been so difficult.”

I can't agree with this more. Netizens & Paran's co. need to calm the f*** down.
