PERSONALITY
- He has the same type of personality as Lee Jangjun: ENFP. However, even though they're both ENFP, you can sense that Jangjun is an Enfp, whereas Joochan is an enFp. Jangjun is more extrovert and lively, while Joochan is more emotional.
- He's very kind to his fans, so the nickname HongKind was born.
- He tends to have a rich sensibility so he's good at singing emotional songs, but he cries easily too. You can see him crying while singing during the concert or on the radio.# #
- He said that he's been told that he's an old soul since he was little.
- When they were trainees, he was doing his business in the trainee toilet and Jangjun thought that he was an old trainee, so [Jangjun] knocked on the next stall and sang, "Who are you~" and Joochan replied, "I'm a new guy~", startling Jangjun. During a V LIVE, Jangjun thought that Joochan was someone who could outsmart him because of this incident.
TRIVIA
- He's the self-proclaimed leader of GooGoo Child.
- Video of him performing while attending the Lila Art High School was uploaded to the Digital Sound Contents Department's Applied Music Facebook page. He also starred in an anti-bullying UCC (User Created Content) made in collaboration with the Seoul Jungbu Police Station.#
- He is friends with Produce 101 Season 2's Yoon Jaechan# # and Yoon Jaechan uploaded an Instagram post cheering for Joochan's debut.
- In 10th grade, he joined a nail art club at school because his friends signed him up while he was sleeping during lunch break. He was the only boy in the club.# He learned how to remove cuticles and apply transparent nail polish, so it was said that he applied what he'd learned to his members.
- He has good motoric skills. He'd learned hapkido since he was 7 years old and had won 15 gold medals and 30 certificates.
- He sang Noel's 'What If' for his audition.
- 181120 THE SHOW ending: he was seen talking to IZ*ONE's Kwon Eunbi, his labelmate.# It seems that they were close because their trainee period overlapped. Produce 48 aired at the same time as the Goldenness promotion, and [Golden Child] have talked about always supporting the trainees that appeared on the show in an interview.
- He has a lot in common with Y. Both were born on July 31st, are the main vocalists, have older sisters, and even their blood type is the same. Moreover, both of their MBTI dispositions are similar, _NFP.[10]
- He especially can't pronounce ‘S’.[11] He said a lot of people contacted him and asked, "Do you still can't pronounce 'S'?"
- On December 28th 2018, a news article came out saying that he would temporarily suspend his promotion due to a knee ligament injury, absent from year-end schedules, and focus on treatment.# On February 21st 2019, the teaser for his digital single 'A Song For You' was released, revealing that he could go about his day but he was still needed to be monitored for his protection.# Through the 13th episode of Joo.Bit.Bam on the 26th, he showed his face after a long time. On [Meet Hong Joochan] released on the 'Idol Olympic' channel on January 20th 2021, he disclosed his conditions at that time, saying that he injured himself on the stairs after going home from practice, tearing his ACL and knee cartilage and damaging his inner ligament. It was a severe injury, but he intended to get surgery after pushing ahead with the performance on painkillers, but the doctor said that he would not be able to do normal daily lives if he didn't have the surgery now. He had the surgery and needed a year for rehabilitation, thus he spent 2019 focusing on recovery. After nearly a year of hiatus, he worked like crazy for the 1st album 《Re-boot》 because he hadn't been on stage for so long. He said that he would feel emotional whenever the members checked whether he was okay.
- He has a habit of putting his finger on his temple when he's thinking of something, and he was also seen doing this in a video from when he was very young.[12]
- He is close to Ha Hyunsang (Hoppipolla member) because he was [Joochan's] senior from Lila Art High School and they were in the same band. They can't watch scary stuff, but it was said that they once watched 'The Wailing' together at night.
- He's the team's big eater. He can eat 6 burgers, 7 bowls of rice, and 20 servings of the buffet. Moreover, he even got kicked out of an all-you-can-eat restaurant because he ate 24 servings.# You can see him only eating in waiting rooms or filming sites. During the 2nd mini album promotion, he asked for more hamburger from the manager while saying that he's overused his Patrick Star impression. During the 1st album 《Re-boot》 jacket shooting, he ate a burger in 3 bites, shocking the members. When Donghyun said that Golden Child members generally had a small appetite, the manager denied it, saying that Hong Joochan was a food fighter.
