Yoojung's in the beginning, but I think she also makes an appearance later in the video

 

Another Fantagio trainee, Lee Soomin is also in the video.

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*

Haha. She's a total fangirl 

[foo]

 

 

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

The monster came out haha

Yoojung Post of the Day: Friendship 101

 

Initially, Yoojung was introuduced as a shy introvert in P101, and said herself that she is slow to open up to strangers. As a result, it's interesting to see the friendships she's made, as the huge difference in her demeanor when dealing with strangers (quiet, awkward) vs. close friends (bright, weird af) makes it easy to tell who she's close with nowadays.

 

Here's a breakdown of the friendship 'tiers' and how Yoojung acts within them. Please note that the example trainees for each tier of friendship isn't exact, as some could be argued to be more or less close to Yoojung. Open the spoilers for example pics/gifs.

 

Strangers

Behavior: Quiet, awkward

Skinship Level: Non-existent

Examples: Everyone in Group D during the beginning of filming

 

 

Lonely Yoojung in the first few days of rehearsal within Group D 

 

 

 

Acquaintances

Behavior: Smiles more often, can goof around if within a group

Skinship Level: Low (linked arms, not initiated on Yoojung's part)

Examples: Juna, Hwang Auntie

 

 

Yoojung with a group of acquaintances jamming out to EXID's Hot Pink

 

 

 

Friends

Behavior: Can converse/talk freely, more expressive with emotions

Skinship Level: Average (sidehugs, linked arms, handholding, at this point Yoojung initiates more skinship)

Examples: Seokyung, Chaeyeon, SS Suhyun

 

 

Seokyung and Yoojung were both on the Bang Bang team

 

Chaeyeon and Yoojung (often dubbed Mother and Child)

 

Suhyun took good care of Yoojung when they were in D together (they also planned on performing Hot Issue together before they realized that they would be competing against each other lol)

 

 

 

Good Friends

Behavior: Excitable, pretty darn silly/dorky, very likely to find Yoojung taking selfies with these friends

Skinship Level: High (hugs, butt-slapping/patting, more 'rough-housing' in general)

Examples: Hyungeun, Somi, Soomin

 

 

Hyungeun and Yoojung are surprisingly close

 

P101's newest big ship, YooMi (or SomDaeng) Lots of casual skinship and rough-housing with these two

 

tbh Soomin could be in the Close Friend category but she just doesn't get enough screentime with Yoojung to make an accurate judgement. Since they've known each other for years they could be such comfortable friends that it's hard to find showy skinship, etc.

 

 

 

Close (Best??) Friends

Behavior: Weird af, lots of teasing, few to no boundaries, frequent selfies/videos

Skinship Level: Intimate (tight hugs, lying on laps, mutual 'violence')

Example: Doyeon

 

 

Honestly though there's a reason why Doyeon and Yoojung (DoDaeng) are one of P101's biggest OTPs, as there appears to be a layer of emotional closeness that's exclusive to these two.

 

Casual rough-housing moments caught by eagle-eyed K-netz

 

No words needed here 

 

A rarely seen gif in which Doyeon and Yoojung are dorky af and Doyeon gets spooked by how extra Yoojung is with her cheering

 

A hard-to-catch bit in Somi's (Dani's) Self Cam, Doyeon was actually resting on Yoojung's lap before she got up so Yoojung could talk to Dani

 

 

Honestly this could also be a shipping guide for Yoojung lmao

arghhh I loved this post so much

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?

dodaenggggg

[foo]

 

i want to creat a dodaeng thread

+ from eysterday's ep i loved this part.. i think yoojung suggested they raised their hands because that guy wouldn't pick them and he didn't

they were all moving each other around and i feel like yoojung tried to protect doyeon indeed but doyeon's heart was just as crushed as hyeri's so. it's obvious she was trying to protect doyeon and i approve. though i definitety think she would choose subvocal 2, 3 or 4 if hyeri didn't take doyeon's place. 

 

Dodaeng is life

[foo]

does anyone know the deal with this video? there are some comments about something i don't understand and it's so heavily downvoted.. compared to the second one

 

 

I think it's because the word "bbah" is used to refer to an ugly face

 

I'm not too sure though

 

And I'm not sure why they would make Yoojung say something like that 

[foo]

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

I agree. I know that her fans mean well, but continuously saying that she has an "ugly" face can make her insecure.

 

Hang in there Yoojung :(

DoDaeng is life

[foo]

Yes lmao

 

Yoojung Post of the Day: Pre-Fantagio Days

 

Here's a super long post of the day to make up for the days I missed!

 

Yoojung's one of the P101 trainees with the longest training periods (4+ years), pretty impressive considering she's one of the younger trainees. Amazingly, she's actually been dancing and training longer than that, literally since she was a kid. For about 2-3 years before she joined Fantagio, Yoojung trained with Def Dance Company, a very well known dance company in Korea.

 

Can you recognize Yoojung? Turns out Yoojung was actually tall as a kid lmao, but she still had the same amount of swag

 

(Open spoiler for more pics) 

 

 

There's a video of this dance later on in this post (Yoojung's on the left)

Yoojung on the left

Yoojung looking cool on the right

Her hair though 

Too much swag 

 

 

 

Here are some videos of fetus Yoojung dancing. They're very low quality since in 2010 Def sadly didn't know how to upload high quality videos   At the time of these videos Yoojung was around 10-12 in international age:

 

 

Yoojung dancing to Miss A's Breathe (she's the one in the purple sweater)

 

 

Yoojung's generally on the left, she's the tall one (weird I know) with layered hair and bangs

 

So how'd she end up at Fantagio? So Def Company hosts auditions occasionally and partners with different companies (ranging from YG to Key East, etc) and in 2011, they partnered with N.O.A. Entertainment and hosted auditions. Guess who the lucky winner of the audition was? 

 

A clip of Yoojung's audition:

 

 

In 2011, N.O.A. Entertainment revamped its image and changed its name to Fantagio Entertainment, which is where Yoojung practiced as a trainee until Produce 101 started. Yoojung wasn't kidding when she thanked Fantagio in her speech for raising her—she really did spend most of her childhood there 

 

Interestingly, Def Company still supports Yoojung even though she only spent a few years there. On their social media accounts they told people to vote for her and occasionally linked to her fancams:

lmao all those pictures are too cute 

[foo]

I'm kind of interested to know yoojung fan's I.O.I bias list though

Yoojung - Doyeon - Mina = Somi = Chaeyeon - Chungha - Nayoung - Sejeong = Pinky - Yeunjung - Sohye

Mine is

 

Yoojung>Nayoung=Doyeon>>Pinky>>>Chungha=Somi=Sejeong>Chaeyeon>Mina>Sohye=Yeunjung
