SECRET NUMBER Announces Their Official Fandom Name
Rookie group SECRET NUMBER has announced their fandom name!
On January 8, the group’s official Twitter account put up a post announcing the name to be “LOCKEY”.
LOCK + KEY: Fans are a key to Secret Number. “LOCKEY” is pronounced as “Lucky”, which means lucky. Also, therefore, “LOCKEY” means fans are lucky people who already have Secret Number.
An hour later, they deleted the original tweet, citing a change in the meaning and pronunciation of the name!
[NOTICE]
Hello, this is VINE ENTERTAINMENT.
Here is a guide to the meaning and correct pronunciation of the fanclub name.
We changed the exact meaning of LOCKEY to "LOCK+KEY; people who become KEYs who open the locked attractions of SECRET NUMBER."
