## Name Origins

### Group Name

* As the first group to debut under BMSG their name starts with B.
* The seven letters in BE:FIRST represent the seven members.
* SKY-HI's thoughts behind the name: "Of course everyone is the "only one" and unique in their own way, but at the same time, I thought it was precisely because we live in such a time that we need people who can say with confidence, 'We are number one.' It's not about kicking others down; I want this group to be proud of their number one and respectful of others being a different number one. And I want them keep improving their skills, and continue to be number one in many different ways."

### Fan Name

The first two and last two letters of the group name are joined together (BEST) and with the added Y it becomes BESTY, which is slang for best friend.
