Weki Meki/IOI Choi Yoojung Official Thread

[YEO]

OMG I didn't know this thread exists    

[YEO]

So cute >.<

[YEO]

Yoojung went to school today (I assume she's been on some kind of break due to Produce 101) and students have been taking a bunch of creeper shots and sending them to their friends 

All the students staring from the window though 

Students crowding her while she's taking a selfie with a friend...

All the phones....

 

 

 

 

 

She's still in school right now so more pics are sure to come...There's some confusion over what grade she's enrolled in (some K-netz are claiming she's going to repeat a year) and there's some overall confusion as to why she's back at school when Produce 101 filming's still ongoing.

It is good to see her in school and has fans. lol

Since she is 17, shouldn't she be a junior in high school?

[YEO]

A video of Yoojung at school

 

[YEO]

She is a 99'er so she should be a junior (first year) of high school but if the rumor is true she have to repeat the middle school lol

 

 

If she is in school after the last performance i think they went on a break until the last episode. Like the EP 6 will be the first part of performances and EP 7 the second part until EP 8 the voting will end, right? Idk how many episodes Produce 101 will air...

rumor said PD101 will has 11 episodes.

[YEO]

I like her so much omg I'm going to miss her when the show ends :-( who knows when she'll debut

me too. I hope she really makes it, top11 with Doyeon.

[YEO]

new selfie (she kinda looks like Jessica here)

 

so cute >.<

Wait. I'm confused. She's studying at Seoul Music High School right? Why is she going back to middle school? Is the a photo of her with what uniform she is wearing that day?

She was attending school this week. No, she didn't goes back to middle school. Rumor said that she repeated a grade in middle school.

[YEO]

Then, why was she in the Seoul Music High School video with her fellow iTeen trainee Soomin??

I was wondering too. Both of Soomin and Yoojung are same age and attend SMHS. So I think it is just a rumor bout her repeating a year. I am not sure if middle or high school.

[YEO]

More fan-takens because i can't get enough

 

 

 

 

 

Slay meeeee

 

 

 

 

I want to see her in motion

just 2 more days until we get to see the performing (practicing).

[YEO]

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.

so this clear up why she is at school.

[YEO]

She will drop no. 2 but definitely not top 11.

[YEO]

OMG Look @ this shorty

 

But everybody, please move aside the short Queen is coming.

I can't see the first pic ><

 

But Wow Yoojung is a shy girl and don't like to be the center of everything (what irony, right?) but on stage she is always on fire tho She gains a lot of confidence when she is performing

The photo

 

 

True true, off stage, YJ is like a lost puppy but once on stage she is a dif. person and her charisma is on.

[YEO]

    

 

She becomes so pretty in the stage OMG i'm still spazzing

This is not healthy for me.

[YEO]

Some said that Jinhwan (iKon) looks like Choi Yoojung here. 

[YEO]

I didn't know Yoojung fan base is that big. Lol I am happy she is no.1 in Bang Bang team.

[YEO]

her korean fanbase is quite big. i think her korean fanbase is bigger than intl one so maybe that's why you didn't notice?

I guess that is it. Everytime I search "Choi Yoojung" there is not a lot of update of her like "최유정"  

Yesterday (Friday), she has 3 trends on Twitter in Korea. It was amazing.

 

What I dislike about Yoojung in the same team with Somi is the youtube comments is overflooded with somi fans blabbered on and on. lol, hard to find Yoojung fans comment in the top comments.  yeah I know she has huge intl fans... hahaha,,,,  and I can figured out, if the final top 11 and the group debuted the somi fnas will bark more, like she is the only one in the group. lol,,, I dont like it... hahaha

This is one reason why I was shocked about Yoojung's fanbase in Korea. Most of the comments in Bang Bang or Produce 101 videos are Somi.

This can't be the same person.

[YEO]

HI guys! Just came here for some Naver updates because I'm tired of the downvotes when I say things on Somi and Yoojung in main thread

 

So Yoojung's video has passed 800 000 views and 6 000 likes. Bang bang overall has almost reached 800 000 views and passed 6 000K likes. Let's go for the million!

WOW 800K views already.

She is so awkward lol

 

^I don't know. For now, I can't imagine her with any hair style. Maybe lighter brown ?

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)

I actually notice her speech is dif. from other kpop idols or other PD101 girls. I found it very cute, one reason why I like her.
