After a year of promotions, idol group Pristin finally revealed their fandom name. Considering various suggestions, the group has decided to use 'High' as their fans' official nickname to which the internet is quick to make their quips and memes about.
On August 6, Pristin held a V LIVE broadcast and told the meaning behind their fan club name, 'High'. Kyulkyung explained that they want their fans to never leave by their side and to always fly 'high' with them thus choosing the name.
"It would be great if our fans could say, 'I'm High!' rather than, 'I'm a fan of PRISTIN!" Member Eunwoo added.
While some fans show their support in Pristin's decision to name their fandom 'High,' others share their doubts about it. The phrase "I'm high" or the word "high" have a rather unfavorable connotation based on the slang language of today's generation. Considering this, memes and jokes erupted in different media outlets that featured Pristin's fandom name announcement.
Pristin has yet to give their comments or consider retracting their fandom's name taking into account the possible implication of their fandom's name to their fans and their own image.
Meanwhile, the ten-member group will be having their 2nd mini album on August 23.
