PERSONALITY (ENFP-T / GRYFFINDOR)

★ Ambitious, Humble, Responsible, Disciplined, Easy-Going, Mature
☆ Fussy, Workaholic, Perfectionist, Stubborn, Paranoid

Seonghan's ambition knows no bounds. He's relentless in pursuing his goals, meticulously crafting plans to achieve them. His drive is so intense that he'd go to great lengths, even if it means pushing himself beyond limits. This ambitious streak sometimes fuels a competitive edge, a trait deeply rooted in his nature. Despite his soaring success with the group, Seonghan remains remarkably humble. He refrains from boasting about accomplishments, constantly pushing himself and the group to do better. Born a leader, he naturally shoulders the responsibility of guiding and caring for the younger members. Managers trust him implicitly for his unwavering sense of responsibility, a key factor in his selection as the group's leader.

Despite being the youngest in the Park family, his demeanor often positions him as the more mature figure between himself and Seonghwa. His disciplined nature and meticulous organization contribute to this perception. Yet, beyond these seemingly untouchable traits, Seonghan is remarkably easy-going. A simple 'hello' can easily pave the way to friendship with him in no time. Despite his calm and mature disposition, many perceive him as an introvert, a misconception that surprises people given the fact to his ability to easily connect with others. He never anticipated being the extroverted member of the group due to this misconception, but his approachability and calm demeanor often draw people in.

As a leader, he relentlessly pursues the best for the team, despite acknowledging his own talent limitations. His desire to lead well sometimes manifests as fussiness, which sometimes irking his fellow members. Moon Yong often finds himself needing to intervene and knock some sense into Seonghan's head when his fussiness goes too far. Aware of his talent gap, especially compared to his all-rounder older brother, Seonghan overcompensates by working tirelessly, earning him the label of a workaholic. He dedicates minimal time to the dorm, preferring the company practice rooms or company's studio. This intense work ethic also fuels his perfectionism. However, being in the public eye subjects him to Korean netizens' criticism, leading to paranoid about people's opinions of him. Despite his paranoid, he keeps it concealed from the members, shouldering the burden alone. Fortunately, he has his brother and Moon Yong to lean on when overwhelmed. Described as stubborn by the manager, Seonghan fiercely defends what he believes is right, refusing to let go of an issue until he feels satisfied with the outcome.
 

BACKGROUND

Seonghan's path to becoming an idol wasn't initially his dream. He didn't harbor any specific ambitions; his focus was solely on excelling academically to make his parents proud. Despite his lack of interest in music, he often tagged along with his older brother Seonghwa to school festivals and outings. Seonghwa's deep passion for music gradually influenced Seonghan, introducing him to names like EXO and cause his interest in music. It was through Seonghwa's influence that Seonghan's perspective shifted. Witnessing EXO's performances sparked a newfound admiration for their stage presence, inspiring a desire to perform himself. Despite being known as a brave person, it was a moment of courage when Seonghan disclosed his dream to his parents. Fortunately, they supported his decision wholeheartedly, granting him the opportunity to pursue his dream alongside his older brother by participating in auditions.

Seonghan's early journey in auditioning for various companies alongside Seonghwa resulted in multiple rejections. His lack of talent and experience left him disheartened, contemplating in giving up on his dream to focus solely on academics. This sentiment persisted until a turning point arrived when Fantagio extended an unexpected offer for him to become a trainee under their wing. Initially hesitant, the recruiter's assurance of support and guidance until he reached stardom swayed Seonghan's decision. Joining Fantagio in 2018, he dedicated himself to training for a year and two months. His path took an unforeseen turn when he entered Produce X 101, a show that introduced him to Moon Yong. Their initial meeting had a slight misunderstanding (I will leave the details up to your imagination), but despite that, a strong bond quickly formed between Seonghan and Moon Yong. They became inseparable, supporting each other throughout the show and forging a deep and lasting friendship.

TRAINING BG

Seonghan's trainee journey was far from smooth, contrary to popular perception. He encountered numerous struggles, particularly in mastering dancing, an area where he felt envious of his brother's natural talent. At one point, his dancing skills were deemed lacking, leading to his exclusion from a monthly evaluation which has been a setback that could have demoralized him. However, instead of succumbing to disappointment, Seonghan used this as fuel to pushhimself forward. He dedicated tireless hours to practice, spending day and night honing his dancing skills. His unwavering determination paid off as he made significant improvements. His efforts were recognized when he was selected to join Produce X 101 as a Fantagio trainee, alongside Han Gichan, showcasing the resilience and perseverance that defined his trainee period.

ALRIGHT...HOW DOES IT FEEL TO DEBUT?

"How do I feel? Well..." He paused, exhaling softly as he pondered the best way to express his feelings. "It'd be dishonest if I claimed I didn't have mixed feelings about this.
