Trivia[]
- According to BPM Ent., VIVIZ is an abbreviation for "VIVId dayZ". It is a combo of VIVID meaning ‘clear, intense’ & day(z). It means to always be the artist who proudly express their own color to the world.[12]
- The Korean name of the group is based on the final syllables of Eunha and SinB's birth names (비) and Umji (지).
- According to their appearance of Weekly Idol:
- The "Z" in VIVIZ also means "Zero Bass" because all three don't naturally sing with a low female register.
- Other recommended names include: Three Friends, Three Fools in Bollywood, Soulmates
- There is no leader in this group as they still consider Sowon as the leader, so whoever stands in the middle will be leading the greetings. However: If they were to have a leader, Umji would had been the leader because she is rational, isn't as moody as Eunbi, and is already the English speaker in the group. On the other hand: If SinB was the leader, she has to be in charge of dancing and keeping the others on task and on topic during discussions.
- The building of BPM Entertainment is in Gangnam, Seoul, and is opposite the public health center. They isolated there when they were isolating from a staff member that caught COVID. They subsequently caught it themselves. They filmed Idol Human Theater after their debut promotion and Queendom 2 because of it.
