Name

In a 2012 interview with allthatbreak, Seung-Ju Lee, the crew manager of Morning of Owl, explained the meaning behind the group's name:

"Our team name is "Morning of Owl." The meaning behind it is that owls stay up at night and therefore have the tranquility and the ability to see things that the public don't get to see. We wanted to get the kind of inspiration that other people can't see and deliver that inspiration on stage when the morning comes around."

— Seung-Ju Lee[5]
