PERSONALITY
Hyunwoo is an absolute sweetheart. Slightly on the innocent side and with a wealth of bubbly energy, Hyun can make almost anyone smile. He's outgoing and talkative, and loves to make friends. However, he is pretty sensitive, and it's easy to hurt his feelings on accident. Hyunwoo also has this... air of needing to be looked after. He may not be the youngest around anymore, but he's very much everyone's baby.

BACKGROUND

Hyunwoo is the youngest. That's always been the best way to describe him, as he's both the youngest of his siblings and the youngest grandchild on both sides of his family. He was raised with love and a lot of pampering. He was never overly spoiled, though, instead turning out sweet and lovable—much to his parents' delight.
As he was the youngest, Hyunwoo grew up following his older siblings and cousins around everywhere, making them include him in their games and such. This annoyed most of them, but his older sister Jihu and cousin Yeosang never seemed to mind—they always indulged Hyunwoo, and to this day are his favorite family members.
Nothing much of note happened in Hyunwoo's life for the longest time. He realized he was bisexual in middle school, after he accidentally kissed his best friend at the time (they stayed best friends, being only twelve years old), and his cousin debuted as an idol a little later. That did inspire Hyunwoo. He loved music, loved singing—he was a fan of several idol groups, most notably Seventeen, and if Yeosang could do it, why couldn't Hyunwoo?
His parents wouldn't let him try to become a trainee at only thirteen, though, forcing him to finish high school first. He took some extra lessons in singing and dance, so he would be ready when the time came, and earlier this year auditioned for JEM Entertainment, the label his cousin's girlfriend Aemin is under. He loves it at JEM, and is so excited to learn and hopefully debut soon.
