When I first saw the name Pabo, for a second I thought it might be Korean for "ba bo" which means "stupid"..-__-;; and sure enough that's the case. Mai mentions how it's good that the name's not Japanese, and Yukina thinks the name is cute~I guess it's an OK name for this "baka trio" promoting Quiz! Hexagon... but I hope this isn't like the next step of UFA reaching out to Korean fans. "ba bo" has a very strong negative connotation, and now whenever I see Mai or this group, I'm going to think "ba bo" >__<I love the group, the song is cute and catchy, but I am not a fan of this group's name =/
You are correct !!! According to Wikipedia Japan, it's really comes from 바보 (the Korean word for "stupid") ....
