Yes, actually, Yeon is
8 years old in 2013, and 21 in 2026, 13 years later
When she goes back to 2013, she returns at her 2026 age, so she’s the same age as Seokjin
햄냥
Yes...
햄냥
I figured you might be curious...
햄냥
Huh? You’re saying you’re not curious?
햄냥
Sorry...
햄냥
This post is! About the stage names!
햄냥
First of all, the stage names I know are Yoongi, Namjoon, Hoseok, and Taehyung!
햄냥
First, Namjoon!
Runch Randa (Runch Randa) A stage name he used while working as an amateur rapper. Back in 2007, when he was in middle school and trying to decide on a rap name, there was a friend who taught him about rap, like Garion, Eminem, and Outsider, and he used to raise a MapleStory character with that friend
Rap Monster was a stage name he used for about five years, from when he joined Big Hit in 2010 until his trainee days in 2012.
햄냥
Yoongi
In an interview on 2026-04-06, he finally revealed the exact origin: it was said to come from Sugar, the nickname of the legendary boxer Sugar Ray Leonard, with the r removed. Since he had a technical rap style like that boxer’s technical striking style, Bang Si-hyuk, who liked boxing, gave him the nickname
햄냥
It seems that when he was a trainee, Yoongi got tired of explaining it and said it was short for Suddingard
햄냥
Lastly, Taehyung!
A name taken from the V in Victory; at first, all the members, including himself, called him V, but Bang Si-hyuk, the company president, said that calling him briefly by Vee looked cool, so they decided to go with 'V'
햄냥
Apparently, his stage names actually include Rex and Six!

Two people were left, and the remaining members went out
민윤기
Manager!
김연
Huh? Yoongi didn’t leave?
민윤기
Manager, what does Suga mean?
김연
Ah, well, Bang PD...
김연
There’s a boxer named Sugar Ray Leonard, and Bang PD liked that boxer
민윤기
Ahh, so it’s an abbreviation of that!
김태형
Manager, is my stage name V?
김연
Yeah, that’s right
김연
Why?
김태형
A single letter seems okay too....
김연
Wait..
김연
V V Vee
김연
Veevee... Vee
김연
V?
김태형
Oh, that fits perfectly!
김태형
Manager, you could run a naming shop!
김연
Aww, stop it...(shy)
