{Mini Mark}

Yu-Yu gained the nickname Mini Mark due to how alike and similar they are to one another. Mark was the one who actually gave Yu-Yu that name. Mark came up with the name back when they were both trainees. This specific nickname has alway stuck between the two and no one else. Yu-Yu really enjoys the nickname, because he thinks of Mark as one of his biggest role models.

The nickname actually perfectly describes Yu-Yu. Mark raised and treated Yu-Yu like a miniature version of himself. Mark will glare at the other members if they even try to use that nickname towards Yu-Yu. The nickname also symbolizes a promise that the two idols made with one another.

The promise consisted of them promising that no matter what happens in the future, they'll always be there for one another and never forget the impact that they've made on eachother. Mark and Yu-Yu have and will always have a strong sibling bond.

{Tiger Cub}

Yu-Yu's nickname Tiger Cub is used by all the members in the group. The members came up with the nickname after hearing Mark call Yu-Yu the specific nickname. There's another reason he's called tiger cub mainly because when he yawns and eats he looks like a tiger cub.

The members have been calling him this nickname since trainee and SM rookie days. Yu-Yu overall acts like a tiger cub 24/7. It's just a cute nickname that the members use around Yu-Yu. Yu-Yu likes the nickname cuz one of his favorite animals happens to be a tiger.

Tiger Cubs are so cute just like the young Maknae himself. Mark is known as baby tiger and Yu-Yu's known as tiger cub. They're like the only two members who can be called tiger/ cub.

{uwu Yu-Yu}

Jungwoo gifted him the nickname uwu Yu-Yu due to the fact of his natural aegyo. Jungwoo's the only one allowed to call Yu-Yu uwu. Jungwoo came up with the name one day at practice and it stuck around since then. The nickname was the last big thing that helped the two members become close best friends.

Yu-Yu loved the nickname only when Jungwoo was using it, but he disliked when the others would call him uwu. Jungwoo usually refers to Yu-Yu as baby uwu, and Yu-Yu usually refers to Jungwoo as uwu hyung. The nickname is just the cutest shit to exist.
Yu-Yu's known as Jungwoo's uwu baby.

Yu-Yu thought that uwu meant ewww, but then Jungwoo told him that it meant cute or something like that. The nickname is kinda like a mood booster for Yu-Yu for whenever he's sad.

{Baby Kai}

Yu-Yu gained this nickname way back in his trainee days. Many of the SM artists at the time and currently called him baby Kai due to his similar dance style. Kai himself started calling the young child baby Kai. A lot of artists didn't really know
Yu-Yu by his name. Most of the SM trainees would refer to him as baby Kai or mini Kai.

Kai started calling Yu-Yu baby Kai once the two got to know one another. It took the older about two hours and five banana milks later for him to start calling the child baby Kai. Kai noticed how him and Yu-Yu were very similar. He thought of the child more as a son then a little brother.

Whenever Kai would see Yu-Yu, he would call
Yu-Yu baby Kai to make the child smile or laugh. Since the two are in the same group now, he calls Yu-Yu that every chance he gets to. The nickname is kinda a cute nickname that makes the both of them laugh.
Kai believes that the nickname suits the younger quite well.
