it's kinda weird seeing the latest translation choosing to opt out of using honorifics and having yoohyun addressing yoojin by his name when that's like one of his main traits as a character. in the novel, yoohyun very rarely uses polite speech apart from public announcements, and when he does, he talks as if he's in equal footing regardless the other person's ranking or age, which is seen as a huge disrespect in korea. the only person he uses the correct honorifics with, such as the usage of 'hyung', is yoojin. not only he doesn’t call yoojin informally (speech), he never skips the honorific either. i can't remember rn but i think they even have a character point that out lol i hope the officials keep the honorifics in.
