PERSONALITY
- During their debut days, his image was of a very tense person. He was quite active on variety shows but he would sometimes pause in the middle, whereas he's very different now. He leads the conversation, but most importantly, his bluffing and shamelessness have improved, such as saying that only those born in 1999 gathered on a birthday radio[7], deciding that the prize if they won a game would be the vacuum cleaner and TV from the set, and when he was threading beads with his eyes closed he asked for something more. In addition, when he was playing Jenga and it was collapsing, he righted it with his other hand.# Seeing as how he's gotten better at aegyo that he was once struggling with# we can see that he's gotten used to it.
- He is brutally honest. Of course, he's just telling the truth, but he has said things like a member looking the same from the side while [the member] was implementing the 'importance of angles' when taking a picture, and he called the saying "You can see the future of South Korea while looking at the flower buds" as nonsense. He's the type to straighten things out.[8] # # When the other members were making fried rice and said, "Let's start by frying the rice," Y didn't hesitate to say bitter words, "Wait, are these for human consumptions?".# However, according to Joochan, he is the warmest person in the team. He's a tsundere, but he's like affogato: after the bitter taste comes the sweetness. Kim Affogato
- When he was a trainee, he was the disciplinarian in the practice room, but after debut, he always tries to be with his members and takes good care of them.
TRIVIA
- He joined Woollim in 2012 through a private audition.#
- He went through a long period of training with Daeyeol, Jangjun, and Donghyun[9]. According to him, it was around 5-6 years.
- Since he and Daeyeol spent a long time together as trainees, they became the team's solid hyung-line[10]. They share a deep bond with each other and he very much agreed [when Daeyeol said] that they are friends for 7 years.# However, even though he was a dongsaeng that the leader chose, he was sometimes chosen as the scariest member. He used to be obedient, but after 6 years, he evolved into a wild rabbit.#
- He is known as the "SOPAz" with Jangjun and Donghyun. They were each in the 3rd, 5th, and 7th graduating class, respectively. They were in odd-numbered classes, but they didn't remember their student numbers.#
- He was a track and field athelet when he was in school. He's received a 100m gold medal and when he was even younger, he also said that he received a silver medal for long jump. Before becoming a trainee, he received a track and field recruitment offer but he turned it down to become a singer. At his first ISAC appearance in 2018, he got up until the finals of men's 60m, but he placed 5th with 00:07:89 and didn't get any medal. However, he finally renewed his ISAC results with 00:07:60 and grabbed the gold medal in the same year.# In addition, he was the last runner during the 400m relay and led his team to victory. He managed to get gold medals in men's 60m running for 2 years in a row when he recorded 00:07:52 in 2019.#
- He worked part-time at a shabu-shabu place when he was in high school. It is said that he's good at making the porridge that is eaten at the end of eating shabu-shabu.#
- He is famous for resembling a rabbit. Even now, he never loses the nickname "Y Rabbit" as if all the members agree with it. If you watch his videos, he gets called up whenever they are talking about rabbits. TAG, especially, likes to call him a "Cheeky Rabbit" or "The Pet Rabbit I Got".#, #
- He and TAG are the ones who have stage names in the team. The other members called him by his real name at first because they weren't used to it and often got surprised, but now that everyone has gotten used to it, it doesn't surprise them anymore and they call him by his real name. Rather than a simple reason as to being named Y, he was named after the last character in his name 'Yoon'. [11] He said that when he first heard his stage name, he thought, "What does Y mean...?"
- He drinks a lot of coffee. He's recognized as the team's coffee mania. He played a game on a show where he had to guess the coffee from the his agency's cafe and he succeeded at once.#
- He tends to wear earrings a lot. He didn't wear them for their debut song Damdadi, but from It's U, he started to wear one, two, and it gradually increased. Now, he wears cartilage piercings, long earrings, and various styles on stage.
