brown hair with bangs is how we know Yoojung but what hairstyle do you guys want to see her debut with? for some reason I think dark red hair would suit her :P

[hyotmess]

Yoojung's fanbase in Korea is HUGE compared to the her international fanbase. Just compare the number of views on her Bang Bang fancam on Youtube (180k, lots of other fancams have similar viewcounts) vs. Naver (800k, easily 2nd most viewed) to get an idea.

 

It's interesting because I think the reason why there isn't as much international chatter for Yoojung is because a lot of her "stan-attractor" charms fly under the radar for I-fans simply because most are not fluent in Korean.

 

For example, the way Yoojung speaks is very unique, and K-fans often comment things like "Yoojung's speech mannerisms are sooo cute ã… ã… " on social media. In fact, just the way she said "I'm okay" after she tripped during episode 1 was different than the way someone would normally say it in Korean, and many viewers thought that it was adorable. Since that kind of difference in speech cannot be translated with subtitles, I-fans really are missing out on one of Yoojung's 'charms'. For a native Korean speaker, it's obvious that these unique mannerisms are natural and not "forced aegyo" and it adds to Yoojung's title as the trainee who is effortlessly adorable. K-fans are quite averse to idols who fake their cuteness so they find Yoojung's natural cuteness a work of art lol

 

Also, Yoojung's genuinely kind soul is harder to pick up if you're an I-fan. Though many can tell Yoojung's a nice kid in general, there's absolutely no doubt for native Koreans that this girl's niceness is totally ingrained into her being. For example, during the hidden camera Yoojung stayed on the line and said "Goodbye, I'll hang up now" when the rest of the trainees simply hung up or yelled something like "You're terrible!!" into their phones. It was hilarious that Yoojung even bothered to say something so formal while hanging up and it shows that Yoojung's politeness and consideration for others is practically a reflex. A small detail like that would probably go over many I-fans heads while it'd be super obvious to any K-fan.

 

In general, Yoojung also hits a lot of Korean 'appeal' points (genuine kindness, candidly cute, funny reaction faces), the biggest being her "gap moe", for lack of a better term. She's the ideal cinnamon roll offstage and incredibly charismatic and confident onstage. Usually shy idols are lacking in stage presence and confident idols have more blunt personalities, so Yoojung is 'the best of both worlds' for K-fans because she is a candid, adorable baby who transforms into a true performer when need be. And for Yoojung, neither side of her personality is forced, as she is cute without trying and she genuinely loves performing.

 

I hope this sheds some light on why Yoojung gets a lot more attention from K-fans, from someone who is a native Korean speaker (and who has lost a lot of fluency over the years lol)

The way she's a total badass on stage will get her a lot of international fans, her personality and looks arent exactly what attracts international stans but her stage presence does. I can totally feel her international fanbase growing fast everytime a performance happens

Hey guys I've made a Somi x Yoojung OTP Thread! Pls vote to wich name you think this ship should be called

http://onehallyu.com/topic/298483-the-official-jeon-somi-x-choi-yoojung-thread-produce-101/

 

they were spotted in the subway ♥♥♥ Yoojung is so tiny ♥

[hyotmess]

<p>

A good number of Yoojung fanaccounts have popped up for Yum Yum, beware of slight spoilers.

 

 

• Sadly, they cut out the "killer" wiggly high note Chanmi and Yoojung were practicing and replaced it with a lower/shorter note
• Chanmi and Somi took those parts (I assume since Somi's the center and there could only be one main vocal once the 7 member group was solidified)
• Yoojung therefore took some rap/singing lines, but was definitely more of a subvocal
• K-fans in general thought it was a shame because the broadcast made them look forward to the wiggly high note and they were let down when the new note didn't have that much impact
• The lack of "killing" parts like the wiggly high note, etc kept the performance from being "legendary" but it was good nonetheless
• Yoojung's expressions/dancing were obviously great
• Yoojung, Somi, and Soyeon had the most charisma
• Yoojung's fanservice when not performning was surprisingly on point
• She made hearts with her arms and hands towards her fans and kept smiling whenever she looked at them
• Her fans were shocked at how good she was at fanservice because they thought she'd be shier about it
• In general Yoojung just seemed really thankful towards her fans
• K-fans who attended the showing think that Yoojung's fandom was potentially bigger than Sejeong's
• During the post-performance interview, Yoojung started crying (probably out of sadness of this being P101's last set of performances until the final group debuts)
• She was full on sobbing for like 3 minutes and first Somi and then the rest of the team started crying
• The whole time she was crying the audience chanted "Don't cry, don't cry"
• 

   

• When Yoojung was turned away from the audience trying to compose herself Siyeon said "Everyone, you guys get upset too when Yoojung-unnie cries, right? Don't cry unnie"
• K-fans noted that Yoojung has gotten to be really close with the whole team, evidenced by:
• Somi squeezing Yoojung's shoulder and wiping her tears away when they were crying
• The already infamous SoYooMi kidnapping
• Somi and Siyeon acting like Yoojung's unnies (they're both younger than her lol)
• Somi pulling Yoojung by the arm while they left the stage
• (Just compare those accounts of skinship/friendliness to the slight air of awkwardness between Yoojung and Somi in their scenes together in Bang Bang rehearsals)
• During the final goodbye when appealing for the audience to vote for their teams, Yoojung made a 'clicking a button on a remote' gesture even though this time the audience had to vote by dropping off their wristbands lmao

Aaaaw I really hope Yoojung, Somi and Soyeon debut together. Yoojung is older but she does seem younger in mind, more fragile. We know the idol group world is wild so I hope she debuts in a group that everyone will take care of each other

[hyotmess]

 

ok i just started watching the ep and this already got me (unmute it)

she's tooo cute 

 

 

this whole episode was an explosion of Yoojung cuteness I can't deal. 

Yoojung fangirling over the b1a4 guy was soooo cute

[hyotmess]

I don't watch Produce 101, but I occasionally stumble across some of the videos and clips from Mnet's channel and

I happened to watch a particular video of a bunch of the girls performing Bang Bang and there happened to be this one girl who fucking slayed the life out of me AND HER NAME IS CHOI YOOJUNG.

 

Honestly what the actual fuck. She looks like such a shy and timid girl but she's actually really outgoing and onstage she's an absolute beast. I love how she's so adorable yet charismatic af.

One moment you wanna protect this precious child then the next moment you're trying to save your own ass cuz it's getting slayed hard by her. 

This is so accurate ahahahah

If you haven't watched yet you should watch Pick Me (because Yoojung was the center so she appears a lot) and her individual Bang Bang fancam too

Yoojung Post of the Day: Momma Haein

 

If any of you are also Haein fans, you'll know that Haein, despite her 'tough unnie' appearance as a 94-liner, loves cute things and skinship. It seems she has a soft spot for Hyeri and Yoojung's cuteness in particular, as she's always the one reacting the most when Hyeri or Yoojung do something cute. K-netz have noticed Haein's a go-to reaction shot for things Yoojung-related now   

 

When deciding the main vocal for Yum Yum rehearsals:

Yoojung (oozing with cute) : I'll do it~

 

Haein (donning the Proud Mother Smileâ„¢): My child is so cute 

 

During the 24 Hours dance party:

 

Yoojung: *pulls up her dongsaengs to jam out*

Haein (in the back with the Proud Mother Smileâ„¢): Look at my child having fun with her friends 

 

After imitating Jessi from UPRS:

 

Yoojung (oozing with cute once again): *leaps offstage and scurries back to her seat*

Other trainees: *slightly amused*

Haein:      

 

The highlight of Bang Bang:

Yoojung: Who's said cute was my only shtick? 

 

Haein: *converted to the Church of Yoojung*

omfg my fave post of the day!!!! I have a produce 101 account (that I barely use) wich is @LeaderHaein and as name I put "Yoojung's mom" lol

[hyotmess]

 

 

Everything was going well and smooth until 2:54 yaaaah Choi Yoojung what was thatttttt

[hyotmess]

I fell for Yoojung when I watched Pick Me. Her stage presence was too much for me. Its so rare to find girl group members recently that have this amount of charisma and she hasnt even debuted yet. I spent a while calling her Produce 101's HBIC bc I didnt know her name lol

[hyotmess]

Yoojung and Doyeon is just too precious. Do koreans call them DoDaeng? Like they call Somi and Yoojung SomDaeng?

 

Idk who Haize is but

[hyotmess]

I was hoping she was at least 2nd lol Somi's fandom is too huge to beat but Yoojung can definitely beat Sejeong

[hyotmess]

I've been seriously considering changing the YooMi thread to SomDaeng. Idk calling them SomDaeng makes more sense now? lol

[hyotmess]

it definitely fits better

 

is there a dodaeng thread?

I think there isnt one

Yoojung Post of the Day: Avenger

 

Looks like we have our first Yoojung controversy on our hands courtesy of episode 10...I mean it had to happen at some point, right?

 

During the scene where the top 22 were choosing parts, some of you might have noticed that the camera spent a lot of time focusing on Yoojung's expression when Hyeri took Doyeon's spot in Subvocal 6.

 

 

And then there was that weird flashback to Hyeri right before surprise, Yoojung took her position.

 

 

So what happened? Simply put, Yoojung took revenge on Hyeri for Doyeon 

Staff: Yoojung-yang there's been talk that you got revenge (for Doyeon)?

Yoojung: A...ha...heuehueheuhue   

Yoojung: When Doyeon was switched I felt a kind of sting in my chest, so it may seem that way—but I had other reasons (for choosing that position) 

 

There's been discussion of the situation (Hyeri fans seem to be taking it a little more personally because she was saying "My heart was crushed" etc etc) by K-netz and the basic reactions have been:

• If it wasn't revenge why would Yoojung pick Subvocal 6 over Subvocals 3, 4, 5?
• Well lots of trainees were fighting for Subvocal 6 so it could just be a pretty part
• This is total DoDaeng fuel lolololol
• Looks like Yoojung and Doyeon are close enough that something like this would bother Yoojung enough to take revenge
• The staff asked her first if it was revenge and it seemed like she was just joking/playing along
• All the trainees were moving each other around anyway and Yoojung was cute so people need to chill

The general consensus is that yes, Yoojung was being rash, but it really wasn't that high stakes of a situation so it really isn't a reason to drag her. Most agree that getting revenge for Doyeon was the primary reason Yoojung chose Subvocal 6, though.

 

When I first watched the scene I thought it was funny (I didn't know Yoojung had it in her to be that petty lmao) and it's not like Hyeri was innocent either, as Doyeon looked a little betrayed when Hyeri moved her.

 

If anything it really is DoDaeng fuel (lots of K-net livetweets during that scene were "DoDaeng ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹", etc) and some people on twitter are talking about how Yoojung is a total Slytherin now (instead of Hufflepuff? lol) What do you guys think?

 

I think she was already planning on taking that spot the revange for Doyeon was a bonus lol

[hyotmess]

I've been really worried about the criticism on her looks she might get when she debuts but I never thought it would come from her own fans. This is ridiculous, it can take a tool on her self esteem. I really hope fans stop with the nickname

[hyotmess]

Yoojung is always the baby no matter if she's older than some of them or not lol The only pairing I sometimes feel a unnie vibe from Yoojung is DoDaeng

 

As for a trio I love Somi x Soyeon x Yoojung. I call them Park family in my head lol bc Somi and Soyeon take care of Yoojung they look like her parents lol

[hyotmess]

Park family XD

[hyotmess]

wow OH turned pink for produce101

 

I love Yoojung's interaction with hyungeun sooo much and how she praised Suhyun looks pretty   and calling Siyeon child

 

She's so short everyone else appears with their head cut lmao

My dream has been granted !!! A YOOJUNG badge!

I want oneeeee 

[hyotmess]

to get a yoojung badge I need to request a gfriend badge?

[hyotmess]

sadly yes

gladly I almost never request badges so I have post count lol at least when we get actual Yoojung badge we can just swap them

[hyotmess]

the name of the group is hideous lmao but I'm happy we will finally see them as a group ♥

[hyotmess]

I really liked Yoojung's lines in Crush!! Even if they get another debut song I hope top 11 perform this song again. Did you guys see Yoojung rapping in the ep? I was blown awayyyyy

 

And I hope they get rid of Yoojung's bangs, she looks really pretty with her forehead showing tbh
