OTHER NAMES

NICKNAMES
KEUM, SAN, SANNIE, KEUMSANNIE general nicknames that are used by friends and family
애새끼, BRAT a nickname given by his sister first, then became an overall nickname that elurra used. it was no surprise that keumsan was a brat back in the days, being spoiled rotten by his family and his group. the fact that he would throw tantrums when he didn't get what he wanted only contributed to that nickname. now this nickname is only used by his sister as a way of teasing, since keumsan has mellowed out a lot
금사탄, KEUMSATAN this was a nickname given to him by fans because of his stage presence, which fans have likened to that of "being possessed by a demon/satan himself". the fact that keumsan has a habit of rolling his eyes to the back of his head during performances doesn't help either
variants of this nickname include satan's spawn, son of satan, satan, seo keumsatan, seo satan
DJ SEO keumsan is usually in charge of choosing and playing songs in the van when they're going to or coming back from a schedule, so the members also gave him the nickname "dj seo"
GOLD MOUNTAIN a nickname that was given by one of the english speaking members of the group because keumsan's name literally translates to gold mountain, with keum (금) meaning "gold" and san (산) meaning "mountain"
SANSHINE a nickname that was given by daeseok, one of the members, as keumsan is an entire sunshine. and using the second syllable of his name, daeseok came up with the nickname "sanshine"

POSITION IN ELURRA vocalist, maknae
STAGE NAME jayden, 제이든
although he really liked the name jayden back when he was a member of elurra, keumsan decided to shed the stagename because as sunmi said, iris is a fresh start and so he thought why not let it be a fresh start for himself as well? so he decided that this time, he would promote under his real name, keumsan.
IDOL LIFE how did they feel as a member of Elurra, how did they handle all the lineup changes, what were some things that occurred / memorable moments / basically their background as an idol.
CHANGES how has he changed since Elurra debuted? What was he like then and how is he now? there's certainly some difference, isn't there?
TALENT TWINS
VOCAL TWIN yeo "yeo one" changgu of pentagon. keumsan's voice falls somewhere between a stable baritone and a husky tenor. he's very stable to an extent that you can feel his already strong basics in his singing. his voice is also described as theatrical and able to convey the emotion of the song very well. ☼ ☼ ☼ (back up: soloist ong seongwu)
DANCE TWIN seo changbin of stray kids. when it comes to dancing, keumsan is a beat-oriented dancer, meaning he is a dancer who takes every beat into account and executes it naturally. strength applied in his arms are on point. his torso control as also been commended and he's said to have smooth and clear overall executions that are also at ease. he does tend to underdance sometimes so that can affect his overall dynamics. ☼ ☼ ☼ (back up: kim donghyun of ab6ix)
RAP TWIN nakamoto yuta of nct. keumsan can stand out as a rapper in certain songs, but overall, doesn't prefer to rap much. however, he can take a stray line if necessary ☼, 0:00-0:37 (back up: lee "dino" chan of seventeen)
SPEECH, LAUGH TWIN choi san of ateez. keumsan's voice is surprisingly higher when he speaks, compared to his singing voice. his laugh on the other hand is pretty quiet most of the time, coming out in chuckles and short "pfft"s but he can burst out into loud, high-pitched laughter when he finds something extremely funny ☼ (back up: lee keonhee of oneus)
AEGYO TWIN choi san of ateez. ☼ (back up: lee keonhee of oneus)

IF I WAS TO OFFER YOU, YOU BEING OBJECTIVE AND REFERRING TO IRIS AS A WHOLE, ALMOST TOTAL CREATIVE FREEDOM, WOULD YOU WANT THAT? I THINK IRIS COULD BE A SELF-PRODUCING, SELF-CREATING GROUP, BUT I WON'T FORCE IT ON YOU OR ANY OF THE OTHERS. response
