RYUJIN answered, "Oh, there were loads. I remember there was 'Purple Heart' on the list. I somehow remember seeing that name than any other names."LIA added, "I think our agency wanted to give us a name that sort of gave off girl crush charms. We almost made debut as 'Triggle'. There was also 'Queendom'."
