Why Is 2NE1 Called Blackjack?

2NE1 is called Blackjack because the group’s name is formed by the first two letters of each of its members’ last names: Park, Bom, and Yoon. This acronym, when pronounced “two-n-e-one,” rhymes with “jack.” As the name suggests, blackjack is a card game in which players attempt to achieve a winning hand by combining two cards of the same rank.

In Blackjack, the player receives two cards face down and must decide whether to keep (or “draw”) one or both cards. If the player chooses to keep both cards, he or she has a better chance at achieving a winning hand than if he or she only keeps one card.
