Weki Meki/IOI Choi Yoojung Official Thread

She is my spirit animal. Love her friendship with Doyeon too.

 

I can see why she's the center, she fits the song so well, works hard, and has charisma.

she's so cute.

Someone wrote a pann post about seeing her at school (they said it was orientation day? so I guess school just started again?). From google translate, they basically just said she's the same as on tv, very short and cute.

I found this on the pd101 dc gallery:

yoojung the meme queen

I've found a bunch of random facts/gifs from K-communities that spend quite a bit of time stalking stanning Yoojung and I thought it'd be fun to do a series of "Fact of the Day" posts!

 

Yoojung Post of the Day: Nicknames

 

Yoojung's notorious in K-communities for being one of the most meme-y trainees, and consequently, has the most nicknames out of all the trainees. Here are some of the most prevalent:

 

Yoodaeng (유댕) , also Yoodaengi (유댕ì´)

This is a combination of the 'Yoo' in Yoojung (유정) + the 'Daeng' in Daengdaengii (댕댕ì´). Daengdaengii is a word Koreans use to refer to cute dogs (throw ëŒ•ëŒ•ì´ into Google Image search to get an idea). Yoodaeng is by far the most common nickname used by K-netz and refers to how Yoojung looks and acts like a little puppy.

 

 

This nickname is often used by K-netz when giving pairing names to any Yoojung + P101 trainee ship, so Somi + Yoojung = SomDaeng, Doyeon + Yoojung = DoDaeng, etc etc.

 

Bbahyomi (빻요미), also Bbahyoojung (빻유정)

Please please please be conscious of any DC gallery icon or gif in general with the character ë¹» in it because it references this pretty controversial nickname of Yoojung's. "Bbah" used to be a derogatory term for someone ugly/someone with a blown out face, and Yoojung fans "reclaimed" the word to describe her not particularly pretty but cute, mochi-like face. At first they combined it with the term 'gwiyomi' (괴요미), which I'm sure you all refers to a cutie-pie, making the nickname bbahyomi, and they eventually began to use bbahyoojung as well.

 

While it's widely-used in the DC gallery/smaller K-communities, if anyone ever refers to Yoojung as bbahyomi or bbahyoojung in Youtube/Naver comments, other K-netz often reply angrily that the nickname is disrespectful, etc. To make an analogy, it's a nickname that a community like 4chan would use unapologetically while the general public would find it very inappropriate.

 

Overall, bbahyomi really is a harmful nickname because it suggests Yoojung is ugly and it could seriously give her some insecurities about her face (she's only 16 in international age after all), so it's an issue that her hardcore (and generally older male) fans are using it so freely.

 

Yoodyung (유뎡), also Yoodung (유ë©)

Pretty straightforward, just how a Korean would say Yoojung with a lisp. It pokes fun at how Yoojung is a bit of a crybaby and has a very youthful way of speaking. Also, Yoojung often lisps if she's speaking while crying (refer to her

 when she says, "I promised...Or else PD-nim would get in trouble" her lisp should be noticeable even to non-native speakers).

 

 

In general, adding a lisp to someone's name is often a way of creating a cutesy nickname in Korean, but Yoodyung and Yoodung specifically have a extra layer of meaning, as they refer to Yoojung's endearing crybaby tendencies.

 

Roe Yoojung (뢰유정)

Far less common, but a fun one nonetheless. Notably, Yoojung has not put any efforts to make a 'professional' autograph yet and simply writes out her name in standard hangul when giving out signatures. When she first went to school again after Produce 101 started airing, pictures of the honest but cute autographs she gave to classmates spread very quickly. She often wrote so illegibly that the ã…Š in ìµœ turned into a squiggle that looked like ë¢°, and it gave K-netz quite a laugh so they occasionally refer to her as ë¢°ìœ ì • instead of 최유정.

 

Fun fact, Yoojung's label-mate and BFF Doyeon also writes her name out simply when giving signatures. Guess Fantagio hasn't given them Autograph Creation classes yet...

Oooh thanks for this, yeah I saw an article about all the nicknames for some of the top girls and it mentioned some of the kinda negative ones. There's too much text on dc icons in general, so thanks for the tip on the negative ones! Roe Yoojung is hilarious.

Yeah I saw that on pann, but at least the reaction seemed pretty divided. It definitely won't impact her existing fandom though. I also think she might have chosen subvocal 6 partly because it was a pretty or impactful part and also because she didn't want to try for a high vocal position after trying it out briefly in Yum Yum.

 

Oh yeah and I like Yoojung's slytherin side
