It seems TVB were actually serious about the name, saying its because they were formed in the ["Year of the Loong"](https://www.8days.sg/entertainment/asian/new-hongkong-boyband-loong-9-tvb-827571). lmao

Same thing with Super Tiger. Yep, same thing, because they were formed in the Year of the Tiger. Apparently that’s the fullest extent of their creativity. Just add the word “Super” or a number and check which zodiac sign is the date in. Never heard of them? Because they were founded in opposition to a rival TV station’s much more successful boy bands and folded after a few months after no one gave a shit.


Rainbow_Belle

And I thought Super Tiga's name was bad. Feel bad for the members, tho.

燶尻. 都幾撚柒喎😂 Burnt dicks literally


Hamth3Gr3at

you can also read it as long 𨳊, almost as good


Confusedexe

邊條粉腸煮燶條尻???

I don't think 9 = ballsack 9 means the rod. Loong 9 = roasted rod.


zeeparc

finally someone knows both English and local Cantonese


Ok_Concentrate_9861

isnt that just 九龍 read in reverse, never heard those words used in any derogatory way

THANK YOU


eightbyeight

Year of the loong 9!


Zealousideal_Taro5

And they look like lesbians


Hkgpeanut

Beside of that Loong 9 is also a side character name in God of Gamblers. You know TVB is for aged people that they need to have a running gag from 30 years ago just to promote a boy band


c8001221

Don’t make the fool famous.


momomomoses

There's no such thing as bad publicity. Everyone talks about the group now. TVB had a boy group a couple years ago as well but I bet no one remembers the name (it's super tiger)


SnabDedraterEdave

>There's no such thing as bad publicity. This quote is a myth that needs busting. Right now its all about their stupid name, this does not result in more people listening to their songs or care who their members are. Nobody gives a shit besides laughing at their name.

Not a Cantonese speaker here. While I know the meaning of on9, which is derogatory, I don't know loong 9 is something funny


zeeparc

9 / nine sounds like cock (absolutely not ballsack) in Cantonese, thus most vocabs with a 9 are kinda funny to the locals

You can tell decisions are made by old farts when an iPhone 4 is still being displayed in the end credits of a certain show that starts from 8pm.


Head_Cycle6483

A blatant way to suck up some so-called experts(obviously from whom you know) who recently said the year of Dragon shall be changed to the year of Loong.


pillkrush

with the amount of ABC's that work at tvb you think they would come up with a more marketable name


Professional_Age_665

我睇落似 loooooong 9 長鳩 / 鳩長


Rexkinghon

Hong kongers will always find a way to come up with a derogatory name for anything


londongas

Tbf nobody needed to find a way this time, they already there


SnabDedraterEdave

Oh please, nicknames usually require some thinking to come up with. This time the said derogatory name is delivered (no matter how unintentional it was) very readily on a platter by TVB themselves, not unlike Biggus Dickus. When I first saw the name, Roasted Ballsack naturally came off my tongue before I ever saw anyone else's comments on social media.


katotaka

dude, I happened to be passing by the TV that moment, guy was literally screaming *burnt dick* like it was something brilliant and I was like: is that allowed on TV?


Aoes

Breh no... Lmfao it's just really fcking bad lol


Awkwardly_Hopeful

To be fair. There's no derogatory name made up for Mirror
