Trivia[]
- The company name was used for a pun in the description of the “Singing in the Rain” music video.[13]
- “Each girl meets another girl like building ‘blocks’ stacking, and the encounters of each girl creates new synergies to bear ‘berries’.”
- The “block” in “BlockBerry Creative” was again represented as a literal block in the LOONA Cinema Theory: Up & Line teaser video.
- In English, the company name is usually abbreviated by fans as “BlockBerry” or “BBC”. In Korean, it goes by “블록베리” (Beullokberi), “벽돌딸기” (Byeokdol Ddalgi, “Brick Berry”), and “블베” (Beul-be).[14]
