While CARATs are excited over the news, they also couldn’t help but wonder what the title means. Many commonly know the term “FML” as shorthand for the term “f*ck my life.” While not entirely impossible, it is highly improbable for an idol group to name their album after a swear word.

So what does FML mean? CARATs have been giving their best bet at guessing. Cute guesses relate it to members…

FML = For Minghao Lovers 🥰

…others tried every combination possible.

헉 근데 앨범이 FML이 될 수 있는 제목을 가진 노래로 구성됐으면 재밋을것같애..

For my life
Fuck my life
Finding my life
Forever my love
Family
…
등등들

A smart CARAT worked out a clue from their recent fanmeeting, SEVENTEEN IN CARATLAND. During a segment, Wonwoo held a book titled A Class To Find Myself. FML could then be short for “Finding My Life.”

this makes sense… "나를 찾는 수업" (A Class to Find Myself) is the book wonwoo was holding during pretty u in caratland.. 🧐 pic.twitter.com/3rjStpTDcK

Books used as props by Wonwoo have also historically been spoilers for each comeback. When he held The Way I Love You, their song “Fear” contained the lyrics “The way I love.” When “Boom Boom” was released, fans realized that Wonwoo had been holding the book Hit Me.

lrt) wonwoo’s books being spoilers 😭
