Hello ONCEs!
I’m sure we’ve all seen this iconic move from Chae! I saw Twice members doing this pose live for the first time during their III Concert Encore in LA.
Was curious on if there’s an “official” name for this amongst the fandom? I’ve seen some like Fake Punch, Punch Pose, Fist Move but was wondering what you guys think.
Context: Trying to see which keywords would help make this pose easier to search for on the internet lol

Punch pose
people consider this a staple emote for Chaeyoung 🙂 I’ve heard it called the baby punch, baby fist, tiger fist, tiger fighter… anything to do with a fist/punch and a nickname for Chaeyoung lol!
sometimes it’s just “Chaeyoung signature fighting move”
however, using the word “fighting” specifically can be confusing; in Korea, “fighting” is used like, “good luck, fight the best fight you can!” Instead of the more globalized definition of a conflict between one or multiple parties. So be wary of your word choice!
Also, if you speak English mostly, it can be hard as there are “freaky” meanings to every word. You maybe don’t want to google “chaeyoung fist pose” everywhere LOL.
I think this all comes together, and can explain why there isn’t a perfect name for this pose. It doesn’t translate across many languages well, it’s never been officially named by TWICE, and can be hard to explain without a visual representation.
I still don’t know who is original creator of this thing in Twice because sometimes I think Momo did it first. I know it started on their Vlives but I just can’t remember
here in south america I’ve seen some young girl artists doing it too
I personally like to call it Chaeyoung going Beast Mode since she does it probably the most, but I know NaMoSaJi all use the move in varying degrees.
I would not recommend calling it “Fist Move” and then using it as a search term lol.
I always called it like Chae Taunt, or Baby Beast Taunt, since it looks like she’s taunting you.
The Knock Knock pose.
I would call it Baby Beast
Angry baby tiger go grrr ✊😬
