They are words of the Korean language, not the names of Korean teams or pop groups. Each one was looked up that day in its own entry, in the Korean section, of the English Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org/). The name is printed in Latin letters in the Revised Romanization that Wiktionary gives for the word (its mark between syllables is left out), with the hangul spelling in brackets, and the line under it gives the meaning, in our own words. Wiktionary text is under CC BY-SA 4.0. A word with no entry was left out, and so was a word whose entry has a sense labelled vulgar or derogatory, or a sense about drink or unfaithfulness. Every name, in hangul and in Latin letters, was searched as a title on English Wikipedia and was dropped when the page of that title is, or leads to, a film, a song, a singer, a company, a television season or a religious movement. A title that is only a disambiguation page, a list of given names or of storms, a place, a page about the animal, plant, thing or idea the word names, or a page about a different word with the same spelling was no reason to drop a name. The Latin spellings of one-word names were also searched as book titles on Open Library (https://openlibrary.org/), and one was dropped.
