- The name 윤기 (Yoongi) can be written with different Hanja (Chinese characters), which can change the meaning from 'glossy/shiny' to other concepts like 'standard' or 'benefit'.
- The name 민윤기 would rarely be used by fans or colleagues in a professional setting, as Korean social hierarchy usually requires adding a title like 씨 (ssi) or 님 (nim) to avoid being impolite.
- In Korean, surnames are written before the given name, so 민 (Min) comes first as the family name and 윤기 (Yoongi) follows as the personal name.
