Name

edit

Her stage name Moonbyul is derived from a combination of her surname "Moon" and her birth name "Byul-yi". A rare name, her name originates from her father who looked up at the sky on the night of her birth as he was wondering what to name her – when he saw more stars twinkling than usual, he decided on the name "Byul" which means 'star' in Korean. It also has the message that he wanted her to become person who sparkles and shines.[8]

Since her debut, she has included it as a signature sound and incorporated it in various forms in her lyrics, as well as when she provides a featuring in songs by other artists.[9]The motifs of the moon and stars are often associated with her as well.[10]
