Suho’s really, really well-mannered. He’s bowing 90 degrees all the time to everyone. He was spotted politely bowing to even the sasaeng fans. One time, the EXO-K members were walking ahead and then stopped because Suho was suddenly missing. They looked back and saw that Suho was giving his autograph to a sasaeng fan who had begged him for one.

At one fan signing, a Chanyeol fan brought a bunch of gifts for Chanyeol: bags full of bottles of Vitamin Water just for him and everything. She stood in line, and Suho was first. He was signing her “MAMA” CD & she was thinking that he was extremely handsome. She gave him a really small gift, but the security guard was nagging at her to hurry up. She was struggling with all those other gifts for her bias, Chanyeol, when a voice called her back as she was about to move on in line. “You only gave me this…so for whom are all those for?” She turned around and Suho was leaning back in his chair, arms crossed, giving her a teasing smile. This fan was so taken aback that she stuttered through her words and couldn’t reply properly. After that, when she was getting an autograph from Chanyeol, she couldn’t think straight because her heart was fluttering from that encounter with Suho. From that day on, her bias became Suho.

Suho is really, really good looking and pictures don’t do him justice at all. This is pretty much what every fan says when they see him in real life. The Korean Exo fans describe Suho as “성스럽다,” which basically means “godly.” That’s the reason why Suho’s nickname is “Junmen” which stands for Junmyeon + Amen. His other nickname is “Myeoncael,” stands for Junmyeon + Michael. 

Suho had a lot of fans during his trainee years compared to the other trainees. It’s mostly because he was very caring to every single one. He’d talk to them too in his free time. He was always a smiling face, and all the fans who waited outside the SM building for groups like Super Junior remembered that he had a very nice personality.

One conversation Suho had with a fan during his trainee days. Fan: “Junmyeon oppa! Isn’t it cold today?” Suho: “Yes, it is. Should hurry and go home now~” Fan: “Huh?? Oh, okay. Hurry and go home, oppa.” Suho: “No, not me. keke I’m heading home myself right now. I meant that you should hurry and go home. It’s really cold out.” Fan: “Okay. ㅠㅡㅠ Oppa, see you next week!” Suho waved goodbye and kept watch until she boarded the bus before heading home himself.

Another conversation about his appearance in TVXQ’s “Hahaha Song” MV. Fan: “Oppa, the MV was daebak!” Suho: “Ah…! You saw it…?” Fan: “Yes, I saw it. You came out really cool.” Suho: “I heard that Jongin came out looking cooler.” Fan: “No, oppa. Really, you came out looking the best. Really!”  Suho laughed shyly at the fan’s compliment.

Suho wore a sweater that a fan gifted to him during his trainee days really often.

This is an account from one of Suho’s really close high-school friends. He said that Suho wasn’t the type of kid who played around too much during his school days. This means he paid “just enough” attention to his schoolwork too. Anyways, he was pretty clumsy and unexpectedly had a lot of “weaknesses.” A lot of his friends joked, “Hey, when are you even debuting? You’re just getting yourself into some slave contract kekeke” And Suho would laugh and jokingly put on a very troubled expression. To the girls, Suho would sometimes jokingly “act cool.” When a girl would pass by, he’d call her name and say, “Come over here~ ” And then he’d lean on her and “act cool.” Then, his friends would laugh on the side, saying, “Ah, this kid’s putting on a cool front again~” When this friend first heard about Suho finally debuting, he sent Suho a really long text saying how proud he is, congratulations, you deserved it, you worked so hard, etc. The reply he got from Suho was, “There was an error in sending this message. Please try again.” LOL Suho was trolling him.

This is an account from someone who lived in the same neighborhood as Suho: Suho was relatively famous in his neighborhood because of his good looks. He wasn’t that tall, but he was handsome & if you mentioned his name to someone in the neighborhood, nearly everyone knew who he was. When I first met him, it was in a cram school, and we were in the same class. For six months, he took a break from cram school to go overseas, and when he came back, he was so tan that I really couldn’t tell if he was as handsome as everyone made him out to be. But as time went on, I started to see it. I still remember him walking into class, wearing a wife-beater and shorts, having this brilliant aura about him. I’m not the type whose heart flutters upon seeing a guy’s face, but Suho was really handsome, and my heart started to naturally beat faster around him. There was even a time I made signals to the class teacher to let me sit next to him when she was making seating arrangements. The teacher was actually pretty intimidating herself, but I couldn’t help myself because I really wanted to sit next to Junmyeon. keke And then, a few days later, the news of him being scouted by SM started spreading like wildfire. There was one thing that was widely talked about by all of us. Junmyeon usually sits in the way back of the bus, and whenever someone (especially a girl) sat next to him in the back, he’d go say, “Do you know who I am? I am Kim Junmyeon.” I remember laughing so much over this with the other kids in cram school. He also made his own fan cafe and posted selcas of himself. (Some of those selcas from the daum fancafe, Best.K, were taken by Junmyeon himself, and that’s why those were all released out to the public.) Like the below selca:

At a fansigning, Suho was in the middle of signing a fan’s CD when she mentioned that she came here skipping study hall. He was surprised and stopped in the middle of his autograph. She looked at him and down at the incomplete autograph, and he followed her gaze, realized his mistake, and looked pretty embarrassed. He tried to “continue” his autograph from where he “left off.” The fan commented that in her seven years of attending fan signings, she’s never seen this kind of case. LOL Below’s a pic of the result of Suho’s attempt to “fix” his mistake.

Adding this other old post onto this compilation b/c predebut!Suho is relevant. Suho’s Past Cyworld Comments & “I’m the best/coolest” catchphrase here!

Old posts: Suho’s Academic Background here & regarding, Suho’s brother/family background: “He has a brother who’s 4 years older than him, who went to Sogang University. Another prominent school that’s actually ranked first in the nation between schools that don’t have a medical department. A bunch of famous alumni, not celebs but famous conglomerates. For example, the CEO of NHN, which operates Naver & me2day, and the former CEO of Hyundai~ Suho’s brother is rumored to be even more good-looking than him…;; And well, Suho apparently comes from a pretty smart & rich well-off household, considering Suho’s lived in Gangnam, too. .___. (His dad is also a professor Soonchunhyang Uni.)
