[Info] BEAST, the fan's nicknames make them happy
Yong Junhyung explained their names on UFO radio. At first, those who see his name see 'Yong Junhyung' but some mistake it for 'Yongjun hyung.'
Yong Junhyung said, "Even new BEAST fans in the café ask why it’s ‘Yongjun hyung’ instead of ‘Yongjun oppa.’ My name Junhyung has turned into 'Yon Sama' and Yongjun.
“Some fans are calling me ‘Yongjun hyung’ on purpose now,” he added.
Another Beast member Son Dongwoon is called ‘Son Arab’ by fans because of his appearance.
Son Dongwoon said, "When I was younger, a lot of people asked me if I was a mixed race, if I was really Korean, but now I think positively."
“And being called not just an Arab but an Arabian prince makes me feel good,” he revealed.
Yoon Doojoon, who almost was a member of 2PM, revealed his experience of being on 2 real documentaries. Before BEAST debut, Yoon Doojoon and the members of 2PM and 2AM appeared in ‘Hot Blood,’ and Hyunseung was in the show ‘Big Bang’ before Big Bang’s debut. Yoon Doojoon watched Jang Hyunseung at the time and thought, 'I want to fulfill my dream of becoming a wonderful singer,’ and now he says, “I’m amazed I’m in the same group as Hyunseung.”
In addition Hyunseung said in his spare time he goes to BEAST fan sites, galleries, and boards, wanting to strengthen the relationship between fans.
BEAST member Lee Gikwang, formerly AJ, is on a sitcom 'High Kick Through the Roof' as the role of Seho. He reminded fans that AJ, Gikwang, and Seho are all the same person. And Yang Yoseob, who is commonly mistaken to be the youngest in the group because of his young face, expressed his sorry heart to Son Dongwoon, who is actually two years younger.

To those that don't get Junhyung, it's because 'hyung' is what guys call older guys and 'oppa' is what girls call older guys. Anyway, Dongwoon never fails to make me laugh. He's so adorable. What do you guys call them? I've actually translated a few other nicknames that they got from fans. Some might be incorrect because I wouldn't think it's a person they're named after and will just translate the name, rofl. ex. 공유 = share BUT it's meant for the actor Gong Yoo.

Just so you guys know, I switched parts of it to make it more easier to say. Also, if you guys can read Korean, some reasons as to where the nickname originates can be found at the source. For example, Yong Jumyeom was a typo on Junhyung's part where he wrote that instead of Yong Junhyung in the cafe without fixing it.
