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

[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

[Knock Chu Out]

Aww her hair looks so much cuter in the ponytail

It might be the video quality or haters.

It might be the video quality or haters.

i think it might be something to do with the thing they asked her to do. so i wonder if there's another meaning they didn't know or something. 

[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?

I thought it was a line from sailor moon or something. :(

[YEO]

rip i was hoping it wasn't anything pejorative. in the long fancam i posted, they actually had a hard time pronuncing the word, like they didn't know what it meant/like it was the first time they heard it. at 1:27

 

 

This is so cute.

truly a baby

now you got yoojung without bangs 

[foo]

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 

[YEO]

I will faint if she looks at me like this

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

Not a Yoojung Post of the Day but to clear up the confusion about the dislikes of that first video, it really is concerning the "bbah" (ë¹») controversy that I mentioned before concerning nicknames some Yoojung fans use: bbahyomi (빻요미) and bbayoojung (빻유정).

 

"Bbah" is a slang term used to describe blown out/ugly faces and is very derogatory, to the point where even Koreans don't always know what it means because it's so rarely used in verbal speech because it's that harsh and crude. Mainly Yoojung fans on her DC gallery use it and claim it's a joke ("She's not good looking but she's cute") but basically everyone else thinks it's super harmful and disrespectful.

 

The 18+ comments on those Youtube videos are saying something along the lines of "How could you say something like this to someone who's not even 18 yet..." etc, because giving someone a nickname including "bbah" is a surefire way to make someone feel like terrible, good intentions or not. 

 

So what happened in Yoojung's interview? During the interviews, Hwang Auntie was relaying requests from each trainee's fans, and the fan that was picked for Yoojung (presumably from her DC gallery) asked her to say "Shimkoong Bbah Power!" (심쿵빻파워!) which is something like "Heart Attack Bbah Power!" Basically, the fan wanted her to strike a generic magical girl power-up pose (hence why Hwang Auntie mentioned Sailor Moon) and act as if she were harnessing the power of "bbah" or "ugliness".

 

It seems the staff member chose that fan's request didn't realize that the fan was saying "bbah", as it seemed Hwang Auntie and the other trainees thought the fan just meant "bba" or "bbak" (generic action-y sounding sound effects). "Bbah", etc, is used so frequently only inside a small niche of Yoojung fans that the general P101 fan (basically anyone who's not Yoojung-biased) would not realize that the fan actually meant "bbah". Even the fancam uploaders were oblivious and put "bba" (ë¹ ) or "bbak" (빡) in the video titles, but I think Yoojung really might have understood what the fan meant. Just look at her expression when Insun first says "Shimkoong Bbah Power":

 

 

Her smile falters and she hesitates, almost as if thinking "Did I hear that right??"

 

 

She eventually ends up laughing it off, as Insun and the other trainees appear to think the "bbah" is referencing something else or some nonsense phrase.

 

Fans in general are angry because it was already bad enough that some Yoojung fans were using "bbah" so liberally, but for one of them to put Yoojung on the spot like that when they don't know how she's taken the nickname is incredibly disrespectful and potentially damaging to her.

 

I personally couldn't believe my ears when I heard "bbah" and hoped the fan was referring to a pre-existing magical girl phrase...I hope Yoojung doesn't mind the nickname, but knowing how emotionally fragile she can be I'm totally side-eyeing the fan who sent that request

thanks for the clarification! I'm sad she had to hear it like that

[GVK]

That fan who sent the request really didn't think this trough... 

[black_pearls]

Omg this makes me so sad. And to think that it's yoojung's own fans who gave her that nickname? I feel so bad, yoojung's already pretty sensitive, she doesn't need "ugly" for a nickname regardless of how endearing these fans think it is

 

Ughh poor baby

[YEO]

This one hurts my heart :(

 

 

Korean fans should stop using this nickname.
