"Our dear astras," Akira cooed. "Don't you think it's so cute?"

- That's it. I'm legally changing my name to Astra.

- Astra sounds so cute. But what does it mean?

"Zeth, do the honors of explaining the fandom name," Jaeyong said.

"First," Zeth started off. "Astra means 'star' in Latin. You are our precious stars! In other cultures, it also means 'extraordinary weapon.' In this sense, you are the people who help us level up in the idol world."

"That's right," Jisung said. "It is also related to our group name abbreviation, EVE, since stars can better be seen during the evening. That means you shine with us, and we also shine with you."

"Lastly," Ren continued. "We want to remember our humble beginnings. We will never forget we came from Rising Stars, and I know that most of you have supported us since the beginning of the show. You were our starlights, and now, you're our astras!"
