Rocket Punch’s Fandom Name Sounds Just Like A Condiment And Fans Are Freaking Out
Woollim Entertainment‘s newest girl group, Rocket Punch, just revealed their official fanclub name!
It is none other than KETCHY!
The members were excited to reveal it in an online broadcast.
Our fandom name is
🚀 KETCHY 🚀#로켓펀치 #Rocket_Punch pic.twitter.com/DAFdZpU53h— 윤찌 🐩 (@yunkyoungxo) January 6, 2020
The name KETCHY was chosen as it is derived from Rocket Punch’s group name (rocKET punCH). In Korean, the words mean ‘attractive’ and ‘charming’.
Moreover, KETCHY is pronounced as ‘Catchy’, and Rocket Punch is appealing and memorable to their fans just like the English word. Their goal as a group is also to be catchy in the music scene.
While many were happy with the fanclub name…
