PERSONALITY
- The most fearful member in the group, Bomin, picked Donghyun as the scaredy-cat of the team, but Jangjun and Joochan said that they were more of the same.
- It's fair to say that he's a very quiet, diligent, and shy person, but once you get to know him, he is said to be very playful.
- He and his members acknowledge that he is a homebody. He loves being at home and he revealed that he doesn't enjoy going out that much. He always only stays in his room in the dorm and when they get a break, he only goes back home to his house in Gimpo.
- He is said to worry a lot. Even when [someone] hurts just a little bit he would worry too much and immediately look it up, and the members even made up the nicknames "King of Searching" and "Searching Fairy". He doesn't seem like it, but he is always a very serious person. For the year 2020, he said that his resolution was to get rid of his worrying tendencies.#
TRIVIA
- He has the skinniest body type and the most slender and delicate fingers.
- 210324 V LIVE: He revealed that he has 2.0 eye power on both his eyes (20/20). His parents have good eyesight, but only his brother has bad eyesight. Donghyun said that, interestingly, he had 1.0 power when he was little, but it got better as he grew older.
- He started dreaming of being a singer after watching music show when he was in 4th grade and started to regularly learn how to dance and sing when he was in 6th grade.# At the time of his elementary school graduation, he passed the Woollim Entertainment audition and became a trainee. He passed the audition by singing Navi's On The Road.#
- He had the longest training period along with Daeyeol: 6 years. Because he had been training since he was little, his agency's seniors, Infinite's Lee Sungjong and Lovelyz's Yoo Jiae, have mentioned that they were proud of how much Donghyun has grown.#, #
- He was crowned the best at high note when he reaches dolphin sound in the Hello Cleopatra game. #
- He cries when he laughs too hard. It's not an exaggerated reaction. We can see him crying for real often, and when Donghyun laughs while throwing his head back, that means he's laughing too hard. He also revealed that he's the type that cries a lot.
- He said he eats snacks more than he eats rice (a proper meal), and his members said that he also eats secretly. He can't eat mushy food, such as mushroom, kiwi, and tomato. He's allergic to kiwi. He also can't eat spicy food and doesn't drink coffee.# On Naver NOW radio's 'Avengirls', he revealed that he doesn't drink alcohol and so he often takes care of the drunk members often, mainly Joochan. Joochan's drinking habit is teasing Donghyun, but when he wakes up, he doesn't remember any of it.
- He is roommates with Choi Bomin and uses the bed that is the nearest to the door. They use a bunk bed and Donghyun sleeps in the bottom bunk.
- He and his same-aged friend Hong Joochan are known to quarrel frequently, thus they are called Bubuz (Married Couple). They have mentioned it on several shows, so everybody has acknowledged their Tom & Jerry-like relationship. It is a relationship where they openly argue because they are very close, not because they have a bad relationship. The members rather egg them on because they enjoy seeing the two bicker and think it's cute.
- He has a habit of going to bed early and waking up early, so he acknowledges on several shows that he is often in charge of waking the other members up in the morning.
- When he's flustered, his tone rises and his voice cracks. TAG and Joochan said that he always does this whenever he's excited. His first impression might be quiet, but when he's agitated or very excited, he will go all dolphin sound.
- He said that he's bad with technology.
- He said he hates playing in the water, saying, "I really hate water other than to drink it."[8]
- He writes what he has to do on his phone background, and one of them was "Be polite".[9] His motto is also "Let's be polite and work hard in everything".
- He was in the same class as Oh My Girl's Arin, NCT's Mark, Gugudan's Mina, ex-ONF member Laun, Romeo's Kangmin, and Favorite's Gaeul. He mentioned on his graduation V LIVE that he was close to Laun, Mark, and Kangmin. He was caught in a Show! Music Core fancam greeting Mark when their promotion cycles overlapped.
- He does not usually talk to his brother, but when Golden Child received their first music show win, his brother contacted him saying, "Congratulations." His way of speaking might seem like it would evoke a bad feeling, but [Donghyun] was really thankful that he congratulated him.#
- He mentioned that he has enjoyed playing KartRider since he was little thus he's very experienced and he said that it was his dream to later shoot a KartRider advertisement. He can be seen playing the game on the 1st episode of the game content taken from his nickname 'DongDong Game Center'. The fans who watched it acknowledged his skills and he even owns a special keyboard for KartRider. He's also pretty good at the mobile game KartRider Rush+ and participated in the 2020 Idol e-sports Athletics Championships. Although the result was disappointing, he was very active in the competition. He is also a fan of pro-gamer and commentator Kim Daegyeong. They met during the Championships filming and took a picture together, which he uploaded to Twitter.# He was in Kim Daegyeong's stream on May 23rd 2021 and they played KartRider together, showing his sincerity for KartRider.# Donghyun won against him and he promised that he would shoot a content together with Donghyun later.

[7] Jangjun kept calling Donghyun "Adeol (adeul)" but Donghyun said he doesn't know why he called him son. At first he wondered, "Why is he like this?" but other than Jangjun, the people around him also keep calling him "Adeol", so he seems to have accepted the nickname naturally after that.
