Why 6002?
When Yuchun had a twitter account, the twitter name he chose for himself was “6002theMicky”. Since then, 6002 is always used to refer to him. Why did Yuchun use this number? Many chunsas may not know. Yuchun has explained before, that it is because “six thousand two” when said in Korean sounds like his name “Yuchunnie”.
Time for another Korean lesson.^^
Koreans like to add the “ee” sound at the end of names to make it sound more endearing when they call that person. So Yuchun is sometimes called Yuchunnie. (The “ee” vowel ‘이’ is also a subject marker in a Korean sentence.)
6002 is a Sino-Korean number; Chinese characters: 六千二 (there is a similarity to the Chinese sounds)
Pronunciation:
Six thousand two = 육 천 이 = yook-chon-ee
———-Yuchunnie = 유 천 이 = yoo-chon-ee
So you see, the two are very similar.
When spoken, the sounds are linked together and “chon-ee” becomes “chon-nee”.
Yuchunnie= yoo-chonnee
The romanisation of his name as “Yuchun” is actually very misleading because the first vowel of his name is totally different from the second vowel but they are both represented by the letter “u”! This is because our English alphabet cannot fully represent all the vowel sounds in Korean. If you have not seen our post on how to say “Yuchun”, please see here:

Like I said in my first Korean lesson, Yuchun should rhyme with “you John”. So Yuchunnie would be like “you Johnny”!!! hahaha…… now isn’t that easy to remember?
Ok now time to practise. Say one hundred times: “Yuchunnie (yoo-chonnee), sarang hae!!!”
Below are some photos with 6002.
A tweet mentioning Yuchun and Jaejoong. When Yuchun explained 6002, he also explained JJ’s twitter name, mjjeje.
m= micky Yuchun; j= junsu; jeje= JJ himself
But JJ’s account was hacked into recently and he closed it. His new name, bornfreeonekiss, is from his new song.

@melodysky: Now I know! Thanks for all the Korean lessons and for sharing these details. You really feel for all of us esp. new Chunsas like me.
what is his real twitter name? I’m so confused with all the similar twitter names with his @_@
I am confused by your question. I thought I stated very clearly above that his twitter name was 6002theMicky. But he has no more twitter now. He closed it on 1 Aug 2012.
