Talk:Fin.K.L

Does anyone know the proper formatting of the name? I've seen Fin.KL, Fin.K.L., Fin.K.L, and so on. --SPUI (talk) 00:48, 7 May 2005 (UTC)Reply

fin.k.l (small F, no dot in the end). That's the way their official homepage writes it. Monni 17:20, 24 February 2006 (UTC)Reply

Merge these two articles. D-Rock 03:19, 29 November 2005 (UTC)Reply

do not merge, just expand the section with more information

I was gonna add this at the top, but I thought it would get lost.... Anyway, the official way of writing the name is "Fin.K.L" with no space and no period at the end. This is how it's written on most of their albums, although this changes from time to time. Anyone else agree? :P SKS2K6 07:45, 23 May 2006 (UTC)Reply

i'm gonna add a few more stuff help me guys!

The article states that the band name has no meaning in English. What is meant by that? Doesn't the article already give us an accurate translation already? Also, it's written in ENGLISH! The part that's confusing might be the "fin" part, but that's french, everything else is understandeable. So how does this have more meaning in Korea than in the English language, even if it's written IN English?

Also, isn't this a Korean album? Why is their group name in English? I've noticed a lot of K-POP songs and their lyrics contain a lot of English, including even their BAND name! Fin KL is a Korean band; so why is it in English (even if it supposedly doesn't make sense in English to begin with)? Has Korea been Americanized just as Hong Kong, China, and Japan has??

It seems like everything I see, from their lyrics, to their band name, to their performances... It all contains English -- what happenned? Is this common in Korea / K-POP, because I see this happening in Chinese and Japanese culture just as much. It's kind of depressing. 165.196.149.50 18:24, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

I wrote that part, so I guess I can explain further: the name has no meaning that is understandable by any English speaker, because it makes no grammatical sense. How does "Fine Killing Liberty" by itself without any context or clarification? Even with the "full" name given, it still doesn't make sense. "Pinkle" (in Korean) came first, because the company liked the sound of that name. They then romanized it and made it stand for something, because back then many Korean groups had short English names that stood for longer things (which usually did not make sense).

As for the English names that are prevalent in K-Pop, this could be attributed to a lot of things. First, South Korea has a lot of American influence (which may be obvious if you know Korea's history). Second, there is no way of creating initials in Korean. Third, sometimes things look different or better in a language other than one's own.

It is easy to say that many Asian countries have been Americanized, and that is true to an extent. Asian pop music in general is a carbon copy of American pop music, but that doesn't mean that it's all the same thing. I mean, English usually doesn't make sense in Asian songs; it is usually more a novelty than anything else. Also, since pop music everywhere sounds generally the same, does it mean that Americans took over the entire world? SKS2K6 23:17, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Was there a Team Leader to Fin.K.L, as there are to many if not all modern K-Pop idol groups? I've read multiple excerpts on the internet stating that it was in fact Lee Hyori, but I figured that perhaps her current solo career could influence some to "dub" her this. Is there an *official* Team Leader? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Krasi183 (talk • contribs) 16:43, 16 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

It says "fin means ending in French", but it also means ending in Spanish. There's not only one language. --†_JuanPa_† (talk) 08:08, 13 November 2011 (UTC)Reply
