A great generator of [[Epileptic Trees]] within the fandom, and even when the webcomic and the novels clarified some things about the plot by telling what's going on {{spoiler|(a [[Groundhog Day Loop]] to [[Set Right What Once Went Wrong]], it turns out)}}, it still left more questions than answers. While most of the material uses the real names of the band members for the characters,

Line 147 ⟶ 152:
* [[Fan Community Nicknames]]: Their official fan club is named ARMY. Internal nicknames within the fan clubs involve the Korean side calling the international fans "i-lovelies"; they return the favor by calling the Korean fans "K-diamonds"
