Meaning and background
The story behind Gaeul
Gaeul has a contemporary music namesake in IVE. The group's official Japanese profile displays GAEUL alongside 가을, identifies her role as rapper and dates the six-member Korean group's debut to 1 December 2021. That directly documents the Roman-letter spelling in a performer's name. A dog owner may intend that musical tribute, but the artist profile does not establish a general name etymology or justify a translation of the Korean writing.
