Yoon has talked about her feelings regarding her stage name.

On a social media platform, netizens reacted to the STAYC member's comment about her stage name, Yoon. During a live stream on a social media platform, she shared her feelings of regret for debuting as 'Yoon' instead of using her birth name, Shim Ja Yoon.

In her candid statement, Yoon explained, "I feel like the name 'Yoon' aligns more closely with the image my company wanted me to project."

In Korea, the syllable 'Ja' is usually seen in the name of older generations. This led netizens to speculate that the decision to go with 'Yoon' was an attempt from the company to create a 'trendier' image for her.

While many netizens sympathized with Yoon's feelings of regret, they also expressed strong support for her current stage name.

Reactions include:

"I don't think there was much of a choice since she was part of a girl group, due to the image. Her name is unique and valuable perhaps as a solo artist or an actress, but she had to fit in with the rest of the group as well. There were probably opinions that the real name sounded a bit rustic/out of date. Yoon suits her as well."

"She suits Shim Ja Yoon for her current image, though. Can't she change it now?"
"It's not too late to change it now"

"Yoon is fine with everything"
"I like the name Yoon as of now"
"Isn't it okay to change it now? Binnie from Oh My Girl is now promoting under her real name Yubin and the name Yoon is too common..."

"I like Ja Yoon"
