Wait since this is in a Korean setting, that means they don’t actually say Star in English right? They say ‘Byul’ bc that means star in Korean.. And fanboy ‘Paenboi’... I feel dumb just realizing this bc I’ve always thought they’ve been saying Star and Fanboy in Englisheven though I knew this was in Korean setting lol.

    No, Star is named Star in Korean. While byul does mean star in Korean, that’s the more literal astrological meaning. Star is used for celebrities, not byul. Some English words are adopted into Korean like ice cream (pronounced ah-ee-seu-ceu-rim”). So his name is pronounced like “Seu-tar.” Fanboy is called “Nampaen” Fan is adopted to “Paen” and “Nam” means male. Fanboy isn’t a word Koreans use. Korean names are often 3 syllables in total including last name, so the Korean names are Park S Tar and Kim Nam Paen.
