Siblings Go Eun Ah & MBLAQ’s Mir explain how their stage names were created

On the January 17th episode of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, siblings Go Eun Ah and Mir of MBLAQ shared the stories behind their stage names.

Many of the guests that featured on the episode revealed that they were using stage names, including Mir. The idol admitted that his real birth name was Bang Chul Yong, and the guests grew curious as to what Go Eun Ah’s real name could be.

“My story may sound appalling, but my agency CEO really liked Go So Young and Shim Eun Ha at the time of my debut. So, we combined their names to create ‘Go Eun Ha’ for me,” she began.

“So we decided on ‘Go Eun Ha’, but a reporter mistakenly published a story on me, spelling my name ‘Go Eun Ah’, and I’ve been Go Eun Ah ever since,” she explained. She could not hide her disappointment as she continued to say, “But they said that the ‘H’ needed to be included in my name in order for me to be successful…”

Mir also said that his story was a bit appalling. “Rain sunbaenim came into our rehearsal room, pointing at me and said, “Hey, you’re Mir”, and left,” he said. “Later I looked it up, and it is a Korean word meaning ‘dragon’.”

Also on the episode were Hur Cham, Jung So Nyeo, Ahn Sun Young, Shim Jung Eun, Kang Seung Hyun, Goo Eun Ae, Kim Min Hee, Ahn Jung Hoon, Seo Jun Young, and more.
