"But before that..."
This time, Gomsuk reclaimed the stage without the need for grand gestures or a raised voice.
"Before we finally announce our group name and our official fandom name—which you may have long anticipated and wondered about—there are a few words we would like to say to all of you."
He paused—taking a brief silence.
To anyone else, that pause might have seemed natural, almost imperceptible. Yet, beneath his outward composure, something was slowly hardening in the lines of his face.
Despite this, his eyes remained fixed on the camera, sharp and vigilant, as if he refused to leave even the smallest opening for doubt to be read.
Every so often, his gaze shifted toward the screen beside him.
There, the comments flowed mercilessly—rows of words colliding with one another, filled with question marks, speculations, and a sense of curiosity that was almost desperate.

@Bibblieee | What we've been waiting for is finally coming!! 😭😭 I'm so curious about the group and fandom names, HUWAAAA 😖😖
@Eeeriellaa | Whoa, the atmosphere is getting serious? 😩 Come on, tell us the group name already! 😭😭
@Sevenjiewee | I have absolutely no clue! Is the name a combination of their names? Or is it something related to the survival program? 😭😭😭😭 Bottom line: I NEED TO KNOW NOW! 😫😫😫
@Rafqian56 | JUST TELL US ALREADY! 😣😣
@Popstooriee | You're also going to announce your official positions in the group, right? I bet Gomsuk will be the leader since he's the eldest, and Sehan will definitely be the center? Right? 😭
@T-18-useraniema | Why do I feel more nervous and heart-fluttery now than when Sehan-Oppa gave that flying kiss? 😩
@Freefuaian34 | I just hope the name isn't as weird as the group next door 🥱🥱
@Assiannee | WAIT? Is it already time for the main reveal of the broadcast? 😭😭
@Siaoonpe | Why do I suddenly have a bad feeling? Is it because the name is going to be a trending topic immediately after it's announced? 😭
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Gomsuk took another breath before his lips finally moved to release a few words.
"First of all…"
"Allow us to express our deepest gratitude to all of you—our fans."
"Thank you for taking the time, for being here, and for making the effort to watch tonight's live broadcast, wherever you may be."
"Your enthusiasm truly means the world to us. In fact, I was quite shocked to find that the number of viewers has reached nearly three million people in less than an hour since this broadcast began."
"That moment made me certain… that you all have truly been waiting for us. So, once again, thank you from the very bottom of our hearts."
He bowed his head first, immediately followed by all the other members.
In that brief silence, it was as if time itself slowed down. They allowed their gratitude, respect, and etiquette to be represented solely through a wordless gesture.
Then, almost in unison, they lifted their heads and gazed back into the camera.
The atmosphere shifted gradually as the turn passed.
"In addition to that..."
This time, it was Namsek's steady voice that took center stage.
"We also want to express our gratitude for all the support and love you've given us since our days of struggle on the idol survival program, NEXT STAR: CATCH YOUR FIVE."
"From the beginning of the program until we finally stood here with you, this journey has not been easy at all."
"We've learned so many things—not just about how to improve our singing, dancing, and rapping skills, but also about the meaning of cooperation and trust as a team."
"There were moments when we had to fight against doubt, anxiety, and even exhaustion. Moments when we kept asking ourselves:
'Will we ever debut?'
'Do we deserve to debut?'
'Are our skills enough to break through such fierce competition?' "
"However, thanks to the support and trust you gave us, we were able to endure… and keep moving forward. We will never forget those times. Thank you for choosing us, for supporting us, and for believing in us from the very beginning."
He bowed his head, and the other members followed suit before they finally gazed back into the camera once more.
The turn shifted once more.
"Not to forget..."
Sehan's voice sounded more controlled, more serious than before.
"We would also like to express our deepest gratitude to all the mentors who trained and guided us, allowing us to continue growing and become more professional."
"Thank you to all the staff members who have worked so hard, both during the survival program and in preparing for today's broadcast."
"And of course, we want to thank our agency for believing in us and giving us the opportunity to debut together, as well as joining one of the leading agencies, ASpire Entertainment."
"We are truly, deeply grateful."
He, too, bowed his head, followed by the others.
But this time, it wasn't just a brief motion—they held the bow longer than before. Then, after a long and silent minute, they slowly lifted their heads, their eyes now staring straight into the camera.
"Of course, not only to the fans, but also to the staff, the mentors, and our agency..."
Oduun's soft, warm voice flowed in next. He turned his head toward Bunhang, then Sehan, Namsek, and finally Gomsuk.
"We should also thank ourselves, shouldn't we?"
"In the beginning, none of us knew each other. But through that survival program, we came together, struggling and chasing the same dream side by side. So, thank you. Thank you for fighting so hard and for believing in yourselves—that you are worthy of debuting and being a part of this group."
A faint, tender smile bloomed on Oduun's face, and instantly, like a contagious wave, everyone else began to smile too.
Gomsuk responded with his signature gentle curve of the lips.
Namsek, on the other hand, didn't smile at all; his lips remained a straight line. Yet, deep inside, a warm vibration slipped in from Oduun's smile, making him feel something he couldn't quite put into words.
Sehan, in his typical playful style, flashed a confident, slightly cocky grin that still held a spark of mischief—as if he were trying to balance the gravity of the moment with his own relaxed flair.
And finally, there was Bunhang, whose smile broke wide, his sparkling eyes reflecting a pure, unadulterated joy. He let that happiness linger for a moment, before he finally turned his gaze back toward the camera.
"And… there is one more thing we want to convey."
The words came out softly, inviting every listener to lean in a little closer.
"Perhaps some of you are still curious and wondering about the incident that befell us a few days ago."
The cheerful flush that had just bloomed on his face gradually faded, like the glow of dusk suddenly shrouded by grey clouds.
However, he didn't let it linger for long; a few seconds later, the warm color returned to his face, lighting up once more.
"However, you don't need to worry."
"Although we were startled and lost our footing for a moment, we also realized that you must have felt anxious and worried about us. Because of that, we strengthened one another, and now we are in good condition. So, please, you don't need to feel worried anymore."
"We also want to express our gratitude for the care and concern you have continuously given us. At the same time, we sincerely apologize if the chaos that occurred a few days ago truly shocked many people—perhaps even beyond anyone's expectations. For all of that, we are truly grateful."
After the final word settled, Bunhang bowed his head. That movement was followed by the other members, solemn and in perfect unison.

Gomsuk was the first to lift his head and gaze back into the camera, followed by the others.
"Tonight..."
His voice hung in the air.
The pause he created felt long, enough to make anyone's heart skip a beat. The slight movement as he swallowed hard was visible—raw but honest—before he finally continued with a firmer tone.
"At exactly eight-fifteen, we will announce to you—those who have waited so patiently while wondering—the group name that we will carry forward as our new identity."
"Since we first stood on that survival stage, we didn't have a name. All we had was a dream, determination… and you."
"But tonight, we stand together as one group. Therefore, we need a new identity—an identity that is different from when we were still fighting as individuals."
"Now, we are no longer just Gomsuk, Namsek, Sehan, Oduun, and Bunhang."
He stopped.
Meanwhile, Namsek adjusted the position of a medium-sized board, staring into the camera as if to ensure everyone could see clearly. His hands gripped the edge of the board, tense but controlled, ready to unveil the sheet covering the name behind it.
Before taking the final step, he cast a brief glance toward Gomsuk, then Sehan, Oduun, and Bunhang. Their eyes met, and each gave a small nod—a silent gesture full of mutual understanding.
With one decisive movement, the covering sheet was flipped to the back, revealing the bold letters now exposed for all to see.
"WE ARE… CATYOURS!"
The name echoed in unison from their lips, loud and filled with pride.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Perhaps you are wondering why we chose that name for our group."
Gomsuk's voice flowed once more.
"Initially, many of you provided suggestions, and we truly appreciated every single one. However, after pouring out our thoughts and considering them together with our agency, we finally decided: CATYOURS will be our name."
A thin smile dawned on his lips, soft as the early morning light creeping in before the sun fully reveals itself.
"CATYOURS is derived from the word 'CATCH' and 'YOURS.' When combined, it means 'to catch what belongs to you.'"
"'Yours' here can have a broad meaning, but we have narrowed it down to 'Dreams.' It means that the dreams you hold must be caught until they truly become yours. Just like us—we also have a dream: to become a part of your lives, and together, reach for the best in the future."
As he finished his sentence, the sound of applause erupted.
It wasn't just the members clapping—their hands moving in unison, filled with spirit and relief—but also the staff in the broadcast room.
Someone even leaned toward the camera—it was the producer himself, Daniel. He gave two thumbs up as a sign of support, his lips moving as if saying silent but meaningful words:"You guys are amazing."
Meanwhile, Sam, whose expression had remained flat and stoic since the broadcast began, finally let a faint smile slip—a warm, proud smile. Even so, his hands and eyes remained laser-focused on the shot, ensuring every one of their faces stayed stable and perfectly framed on camera.
After the roar of applause subsided into a warm hum hanging in the air, Sehan's voice slipped in playfully.
"Now, of course, we wouldn't possibly forget about you."
"You also have a name, and starting tonight, that name officially belongs to you. A name that will call out to you… and to us, every time we step onto the stage."
"Curious, aren't you?"
A mischievous grin spread across his face, faint yet full of meaning, as if he shared a secret only he knew. One of his eyebrows twitched up and down—a small gesture that felt like an invitation to a secret game.
He then reached for the board that had been resting on his lap, lifting it slowly and pointing it straight at the camera—toward the millions of eyes waiting with bated breath.
"Are you ready?"
He glanced at Gomsuk, Namsek, Oduun, and Bunhang. Their eyes met, and a small but simultaneous nod came as their answer.
That unison made Sehan's smile bloom—slowly but surely—spreading across his face, radiating a warmth and joy that was impossible to contain.
With a measured movement—holding for a brief second, then flipping—the paper on the board spun around. A name appeared, printed in bold, capital letters.
"And our fandom name is—RUN!"

@Widyiiee | WHAT?!! RUN??? CATYOURS X RUN? 😭😭😭
@Tioeszaa | We finally have a name!! 😫😫😫😫 WE ARE RUN NOW!! 😖
@Xiaonthangie | I'm sure RUN will become the biggest fandom right after SPARK!! 😭😭😭😭
@User-point89 | NOVEMBER 7th, 2025 AT 8:15 PM = CATYOURS AND 8:30 PM = RUN (MARK THE DATE AND TIME, GIRLS!! 😭😭😭)
@Diesazio | Catyours means catching what belongs to you, and Run must mean running to catch that dream? Right? 😭😭 If so, we are the perfect match! 😣😣
@Koooeekk | Even though it's only three letters, I feel like this is the shortest fandom name I've ever heard, yet the most realistic match for the group name! 😖😖 BUT... BUT... I LIKE IT!!! NOW I'M RUN!!
@Catchmydream | THIS IS CRAZIER THAN I GUESSED!! 😭😭🔥
@Gioramaina | I just remembered something! We already have CHASEMINE, and now CATYOURS? Am I the only one who noticed the group names have almost the same meaning? 😫😫
@Iiiiiiii77 | I'm a SPARK, but seeing this group filled with such handsome men, there's nothing wrong with being a multifandom, right? 😭😭
@Readerr | RUN! RUN! RUN! FOREVERRRRR 🖤💙🤍💜💗
@Tivainaa | To whoever said the meanings of CATYOURS and CHASEMINE are the same—it's not the same at all!! They're worlds apart!!
@Juneee | This is going to be the most legendary fandom name of 20XX!! 😭😭
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"So, how is it?"
"Do you like the name?"
The question slipped out with a tone intentionally softened, almost playful—a teasing lilt designed to melt the defenses of anyone listening.
"Only three letters, easy to remember and easy to pronounce, right?"
"As you know, 'RUN' means to move quickly. But the meaning here isn't just about the act of running; it's about running to chase the DREAM—'YOURS'—to seize what you desire. That way, the group name and the fandom name are forever intertwined."
"In conclusion: CATYOURS means catching what belongs to you. And how do you catch it? By 'RUN'-ning—running without limits, continuing to run until everything you've dreamed of is achieved. When put together, it means: 'Run to catch what belongs to you—your dream.'"
He ended his long explanation with a smile.
But this time, the smile wasn't teasing, nor was it full of hidden mischief. It was a smile of solemn calm, like the expression of someone who had just delivered a sacred oath before thousands of eyes—words that could never be taken back.
