[leaffx04]

Omg yess keep coming 

 

 

 

Yaas this show can end in episode 5 that i will be happy lmao

 

Which episode did yoojung cried??

[leaffx04]

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

 

Anyway, the group will only last 1 year.. I wish she debut with the rest of fantagio girls later. (if Pledis girls can't debut together I'll be a kinda sad too TT)

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)

 

That's all the charming part I love about her.. The moment she greet "Happy New Year" to me, I fallen for her polite and gentle charm. She talks so slowly and genuine. <3 I hate when people said she is not pretty like her fans see the beauty of her so shut up, you can't see it doesn't mean she doesn't have it.

[leaffx04]

My #1 yoojung.. I will vote for you

[leaffx04]

I don't know what to say.. think I might cry too.. they're gonna be divided I really wish soyeon and siyeon can join the 11. They are now in my top 11 too and Im nayoung too

Then accidentally clicked this and started asking "Who is this adorable girl?! What is Choi Yoojung? The center girl?"

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?

 

well.. I actually think that's a good part so everyone wanted it and of course DoDaeng..

It's not like Hyeri didn't move Doyeon's tag.. I mean if Mnet didn't highlight the issue of yoojung and make it a fuss no one would think it's bad, right? Everyone is moving each other's tag no one need to be blame.

I think Yoojung fans will think it's cute. We all know they have strong sisterhood so CUTE

DoDaeng!! YooYeon!! 

[leaffx04]

they mentioned about something related to 19+ the word "bbah" in what the fan told yoojing to say. It seems like it's not a good word. They did mention yoojung might not understand it so they were blaming the fan for making her said that. But... I don't really understand about this word though? is it bad?

Edited March 27, 2016 by leaffx04

[leaffx04]

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 

 

no wonder.. but yoojung was still smiling so bright.. I guess the fan was referring to "not so pretty but charming people" that's how they describe Kim Woobin

[leaffx04]

this 5 are my favs so let's all debut together!!! Soyeon, Doyeon and Chaeyeon the 3 yeons fighting!!

[leaffx04]

Why is there a difference in the way her name is spelled in English (Choi Yoo-Jung vs Choe Yujeon)?

 

Choe is definitely wrong. To be more accurate it's actually Jeong some koreans used Jung

[leaffx04]

where is SoDaeng??? Soyeon x Yoojung (my fav otp..) I choose DoDaeng my 2nd fav

[leaffx04]

FanGIRL (13 votes [100.00%])

 

 

 

im a bit surprised. i know in korea she has a lot of male and female fans but internationally, a lot of female fans.

 

I'm more surprised she had more fanboy than fangirl in korea.. I thought girls will love her more
