Can you think of any others?

The surname “Kim” is by far the most common in the Korean population worldwide, with approximately 1/5 of all Koreans having the family name Kim. Because of this, it’s hard to find a K-Pop group that doesn’t have at least one member whose surname is Kim! There are a few, though, and fans recently brainstormed all the groups they could think of without a Kim in them. Here are all 19 currently active K-Pop groups they could think of.
