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...

 

i see most yoojung korean fans refer to her as ìœ ë© esp on twitter. anyways, thanks for this!

[lovestal]

I was just reading this thread anonymously until I couldn't bear my fangirling heart is explodinggggg T_T

Yoojung is so precious! I fell for her the moment she tripped in ep 1 lol x)

I kinda hope the rumored ranking is not true :( I want her to be no1 at least once..

me too, i wanted her to be #1 once she'd be so happy

i fell for her when she fell too

[lovestal]

I need more Yoojung, last week episode wasn't enough. 

same! when will she get on instagram 

[lovestal]

at 2:00 they ask yoojung to do her bang bang point

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 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

beautiful post

this makes me so emotional. that feeling that they made it to another round together and you can tell how proud of doyeon yoojung is

Yoojung and Doyeon is just too precious. Do koreans call them DoDaeng? Like they call Somi and Yoojung SomDaeng?

 

Idk who Haize is but

she was in unpretty rapstar 2. she actually appeared in the audience on p101 as well

from chaeyeon ig

 

 

[lovestal]

do you guys think yoojung has a chance of getting first?? 

i hope so but from the rumors it seems like she doesn't. she is #2 which it's great. i wonder her position for today's episode.

[lovestal]

the gap between somi and sejeong was huge but between the latter and yoojung wasn't as huge. yoojung is doing well ♡

I've been seriously considering changing the YooMi thread to SomDaeng. Idk calling them SomDaeng makes more sense now? lol

it definitely fits better

 

is there a dodaeng thread?

[lovestal]

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?

 

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.

she sings so much more now that the other girls left

[lovestal]

cr

what a baby

[lovestal]

she's a bit rude in this fancam 

Edited March 26, 2016 by daoko

[lovestal]

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

 

 

Edited March 27, 2016 by daoko

[lovestal]

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. 

[lovestal]

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?

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 

[lovestal]

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).

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

[lovestal]

there's something in common yoodaeng ships share

she's always the baby i think they just feel the urge to take care of her

 

 

[lovestal]

im going to make a dodaeng thread you guys, i've been slacking because i got no ps on my laptop yet
