The stage names Lee Sooman had suggested for SM artists, but were rejected

 

Tony Ahn

1st suggestion: Pickle (Because it suits his fresh image)

2nd suggestion: Tony (Originally, it's his English name)

>> If he used the name Pickle, he's afraid he's going to get a lot of offer to star in Pickle advertisements instead of Pizza. So he decided to go with Tony. 

Leeteuk

1st suggestion: Kangsu (Means 'precipitation', Lee Sooman wants him to bring the rain to the music industry)

2nd suggestion: Shin-i (Means the kid that God has sent)

3rd suggestion: Leeteuk (Means a special kid)

>> Right after the 2nd suggestion, he decided to go with Leeteuk

Shindong

1st suggestion: Woo-dong (Dong is taken from his real name + because it suits his chubby image)

2nd suggestion: Dong-chun (is actually the name of a Korean circus group, Lee Sooman chooses this name because Shindong has a lot of talent)

3rd suggestion: Shin-don (But then Shindong requested it to be 'Shindong)

>> There was a drama in MBC titled 'Shin-don' airing at that time, therefore he went with 'Shindong'

Kyuhyun

1st suggestion: Gwi-hyun (Because Kyuhyun is difficult to pronounce + it means 'precious')

2nd suggestion: Kyuhyun (His real name)

>> The manager heard Lee Sooman's stage name suggestion and opposed it, that's how he went with Kyuhyun instead

DBSK

1st suggestion: 오장육부/The Five Visceras and Six Entrails (Means just like the internal organs, this group can't leave out anyone)

2nd suggestion: 동방불패/Swordsman (Lee Sooman was inspired from the movie with the same title)

3rd suggestion: 동방신기 (Means Rising Gods from the east)

>> The 2nd suggestion was rejected because the Hanja was not aesthetically pleasing, that's how they went with DBSK

-If DBSK had used 'The Five Visceras and Six Entrails', I wonder if they're using the organs' name as the members' stage names too...? Kidney-Yunho, Pancreas-Changmin...

-Was he even serious when he suggested all those names...?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-I can't believe he almost named Shindong after a Circus group...

-It's so funny how the manager opposed the idea of 'Gwi-hyun'ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Isn't Gwi-hyun harder to pronounce than Kyuhyun...?

-What the heck is The Five Visceras and Six Entrails...ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-He has a fresh image and yet Lee Sooman was going to name him Pickle??? I thought Pickles were sourㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Kyuhyun's name is so pretty, why would you change that to Gwihyunㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-If they went with The Five Visceras and Six Entrails, we would have Kidney-Yunho, Liver-Yoochun, Heart-Junsu, Small Intestine-Changmin, and Large Intestine-Jaejoong...

-I wonder what would've happened if they decided to go with The Five Visceras and Six Entrailsㅋㅋ

-What the f*ckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Shin-i was actually a good name...

The reason why it feels nice to be the youngest member in your group (ft. SM)

Eunhyuk: You know how the youngest member usually arrive in the practice room the earliest and wait for his hyungs, right? Kyuhyun is different, he's always late.. At least for an hour! There are sometimes when he comes really late and when we're about to nag him, he would say "It's possible for me to come late!!!" and goes angry. After hearing that, we change our mind.. "Is he right..?" and then we apologize to him.. "We're sorry, Kyuhyun-ah"..

The hyungs are the fool onesㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Yup, as expected from Maknae On Topㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Kyuhyun is the epitome of Maknae On Topㅋㅋㅋ I miss him so muchㅠㅠㅠ

-Seems like all of the youngest members in SM's groups are all the sameㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-They're driving me crazyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Fool..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 

-Gyu-ya.. You're getting so much cuter latelyㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Oh my goodness..ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
