It’s such a uncommon identify to start with!
We’ve written earlier than about Ok-Pop idols with among the rarest names within the industry, each first names in addition to surnames. Some of those names are simply uncommon in Ok-Pop, whereas others are uncommon on this planet as a complete.
When it comes to 2 idols, their names are so uncommon that they had been the one boys born on this planet of their beginning 12 months to have their identify — and so they each in some way ended up within the Ok-Pop industry!
Kim Taerae of TEMPEST was born on May 9, 2002 — that means he simply turned 21! — and is the rapper and maknae of his group. Meanwhile, Kim Taerae of ZEROBASEONE was born on July 14, 2002. They are the one two male Taeraes that had been born in 2002, and so they occur to share the identical surname too!
According to on-line statistics, there have been simply three Taeraes born in 2002 — one a woman, together with the 2 idols — and the identify is so uncommon that between 2008 and 2023, solely 20 individuals had been born with that identify (with the final one born in 2018).
When TEMPEST’s Taerae was advised in regards to the ZEROBASEONE member a few months in the past (again when the trainee was a contestant on Boys Planet), the TEMPEST member expressed his need to greet his name-sharer in the event that they ever had the chance to fulfill.
The truth alone that the one two 2002-born male Taeraes ended up turning into Ok-Pop idols is wonderful sufficient, but it surely seems that the 2 of them already had the prospect to fulfill one another because of KCON Japan 2023!
Both TEMPEST and ZEROBASEONE attended the occasion, which was held from May 12 to 14. Not solely had been the 2 captured greeting one another, however TEMPEST’s Taerae additionally talked about the second afterward in messages to followers!
Taerae (TEMPEST): Today I met one other Taerae
Taerae: We greeted one another enthusiastically
Taerae: Same place, similar Taerae
Taerae: It was so attention-grabbing
It can be nice if the 2 of them developed a friendship over their shared names and occupations! A Reddit thread was even made about their assembly, with Ok-Pop followers feeling endeared by all the state of affairs.
