Owner review 16 — rulings (2026-10-13)
Status: Active · Date: 2026-10-13 · Answers: "Any Korean adjective that might be related to good health, good fortune, or a nudge in the positive direction, social gathering, good feelings or just any other positivity in general?" Evidence:
Companion: review-15 rulings.
What the round did
- Generated 365 positive adjectives and adjective roots in six fields: health, fortune, a positive nudge, gathering, good feelings, and general positivity.
- Filtered on shape. Only 137 have a shape a non-Korean can read on sight. Most positive Korean roots use eo, eu, ae, ui or a y-vowel (든든, 넉넉, 즐거, 다정, 행운), so this round is thinner than the noun rounds.
- Screened for meaning, famous names and the stores: 26 survivors.
- Cleared all 26 on trademarks (KIPRIS, the USPTO and TMview, which all answered), domains and handles, and meaning.
The adjectives that pass
| Rank | Name | Meaning | Trademarks (KR, US, EU) | Web | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Bangsil (방실) | A beaming smile (방실방실 웃다) | Clear in all four classes; the only 방실 marks are for clothing and pharma | bangsil.com is unregistered, as are .app, .io, .co and .co.kr; @bangsilapp | English may hear "bang". Seven letters. 방실방실 is often said of babies |
| 2 | Hanchang (한창) | In full swing, at its peak | With conditions: a 2008 HANCHANG registration in class 9 (glass, optical and safety goods, no software) | .app and .io free | Eight letters; 한창 is also a Korean company name |
| 3 | Dangcha (당차) | Plucky, from 당차다 | With conditions: a sound-alike 당채 in class 35 | .io and .co free | Koreans hear a half-word |
Bangsil is the round's standout:
- It is clear in all three registers.
- It is the first name in three rounds whose
.comcan simply be registered. - Its meaning is a pure good feeling.
Not shown although they pass:
- Sunsu (순수, "pure"): too generic to be a strong mark.
- Dungsil (둥실, "floating"): English hears "dung".
- Mongsil (몽실, "fluffy"): "mong" is a slur in the UK.
The adjectives you would expect, and why they fell

| Gaman (가만) | Clear on trademarks, but .com and every alternative are taken, and no handle is free on X, YouTube and TikTok |
| Naran (나란, side by side) | A pending 나란 in class 9, and no clean address |
| Palpal (팔팔) | 팔팔정 is a well-known Korean generic Viagra (Hanmi holds 팔팔 across classes), and "88" is a hate-symbol code |

On the board
The "Name candidates" section shows:
- this round's three: Bangsil, Hanchang, Dangcha;
- last round's three: Dadok, Pallang, Dorang;
- Homil;
- today's name, TwoMore.
The other cleared names stay in the research documents.
My read across all rounds
Dadok (다독, the pat of encouragement) is still the strongest whole package: clear everywhere, a .com that can be bought, and the brand's spirit. Bangsil is the best adjective: clear everywhere, a free .com, and a pure good feeling. The two belong together, in fact: 방실 is what you do after a 다독.
Open for you
- Which name? Dadok or Bangsil (my two), or another on the board.
- For the pick: a 변리사 clearance (sound-alikes, deeper KIPRIS rows), then register the address and handles.
bangsil.comcould be registered today, before someone else does.
