ORIGIN OF NAME
His real name, JADE, is a kind of precious green gem which has been considered valuable especially in Asia since the ancient times.
In English, when "-ed" is added to a verb, it means actions in the past or the receiver of an action. He added a suffix to make his artist name even more unique, and he aims to become a singer who can bring something new to music by harnessing the beauty and goodness of retro, or things that are considered "classic".
