Having a family lineage of a Taekwondo coach, it's no wonder that Yohan eventually ventured into the world of martial arts. His father and grandfather are both coaches, while his mother is a former Taekwondo athlete. Not only is his father a coach in Korea, but he is also a Taekwondo coach in Japan. Since childhood, Yohan has been introduced and trained to become an athlete by his father, including his two younger sisters who are now junior National Taekwondo athletes in Korea.

2. Giving up Taekwondo Scholarship to Become an Idol

Thanks to his achievements in Taekwondo, Yohan received a full scholarship to pursue a degree in sports. He was even prepared to become a backup Taekwondo athlete for the Korean Olympics, although he eventually left the world of Taekwondo that he had been dedicated to for 10 years in order to pursue his dream as an idol. Despite being opposed by his father, Yohan continued to persuade him, and now he is known as one of the talented idols.

3. Former Ulzzang

It cannot be denied that Yohan indeed has handsome looks and a height of 181 cm, which makes Yohan look very ideal. Since his debut, he has attracted attention with his small face, sharp nose, and tall and muscular body. Previously, he was also known as an ulzzang with the nickname ulzzang Taekwondo oppa. According to his coach, since he was active in Taekwondo, many teenage girls have been interested in Yohan, but he didn't respond much because he was too focused on Taekwondo. His visual appearance was also acknowledged by the trainees and coaches when he joined PRODUCE X, which led him to rank 3 in the top 11 visual centers.

4. Cameo in the Drama 'QUEEN SEONDEOK'

Having an interest in the entertainment world since childhood, Yohan has indeed received many offers for drama casting. He once appeared as a cameo in the famous historical drama QUEEN SEONDEOK and this has been confirmed by Yohan in his live broadcast. Although he received many offers since he was young, his father always rejected those offers because he only wanted Yohan to focus on his Taekwondo career.

5. Causing a Stir Because of 3-Month Trainee Period

The fact that he only underwent a 3-month trainee period under OUI Entertainment agency surprised the judges, participants, and also the viewers of PRODUCE X. But unexpectedly, when he performed the song Se7en titled Come Back To Me using Heelys or shoes with wheels at the back, he managed to impress the judges with his unique and simple concept, which led him to receive an A class.

6. Ranking First Despite Never Being the Center

Even though he was just a trainee, Yohan felt that he still needed to learn a lot, so during the concept evaluations in the survival show PRODUCE X, he never became the center of his group. Always being in the top 5, Yohan continued to hone his skills until finally in the final round, he was announced to have achieved the first place and became the center of X1, proving that he deserved the position with his vocal, rap, and dance abilities that continue to develop.

7. Dislikes Anything Horror-Related
