( elaboration ) : Yon Soo grew up as a quiet, obedient child. He had always been content to do what made others happy instead of what made him happy. After a while he decided that he was tired of being walked all over. He forced himself to appear confident until he actually felt confident in himself. People started to notice him as he became more confident. He started to shine and people found that they were easily charmed by him. He could flash a smile and fans would melt. He was unaware of this new trait so he was unable to abuse it. While he was more interested in his own well being than before he still tended to put others first. He tended to be rather caring and he often looked out for those he was close to and sometimes he even went out of his way to help strangers. He has always been the kind of guy that will help old ladies cross the street and parents tend to love him.

He has become more sarcastic over time and upon first meeting people tend to notice them about him. They assume that he'll be a lot more cruel than he really is. In reality it's more a style of humor that he's acquired from hanging out with his sister so much and he tries to make sure people know that he doesn't have malicious intent, but it can still get him into trouble. It also doesn't help that he's still rather quiet. He might be more confident, but he still prefers to let others talk first. He doesn't have the need to fill every silence and so people that don't like silence become grumpy because he will sit and enjoy their company instead of filling the silence. It can also put people off when the first thing that comes out of his mouth is sarcasm. It can be a rather off putting combination.

He tends to have trouble when it comes to being open with strangers or during interviews. He's often more vague with his answers than other people. He wants to open with people about his experiences and share the lessons he's learned, but he doesn't want to get people into trouble. After his departure from SM entertainment he has come to fear what can happen when people disagree with certain things. He also has trouble making decisions. He spends too much time weighing each option and trying to decide which will best. Even then he can still find it difficult to come to a decision. Even though something sounds logically good his feelings for one option can get in the way. He will eventually come to a decision, but it takes a little longer than most people. At least it can be said that his decision has been given plenty of thought and he's spent a great deal of time picking the best option.

Yon Soo has always had a more adventurous spirit. Whenever he had the opportunity to go somewhere new and experience something different he jumped at the chance. He would eagerly agree to go with his sister when she wanted to travel around Canada. Once he moved to South Korea he made it a goal to go to as many interesting places as possible. He indulged in a few more touristy destination with other trainees from other countries. Unfortunately he has to strictly budget himself. He has the tendency to become caught up with things that are too fancy to be justified. He has always been fascinated by pretty things. The intricate designs of fancy things has always entranced him. He has tried to learn to trick himself into thrift shopping to keep him from over spending and sometimes it works. Other times he finds himself buying a model of a cool looking bicycle.

 
( background ) : jun sang and eunji cho moved to Canada shortly after their marriage to run the canadian branch of the cho business. A year after they had their first child. Yon soo was their third child and he tended to be overshadowed by his older siblings. His sister was rebellious and active while his brother was business minded and ambitious. Yon soo was more quiet and obedient. He did his best to get good grades and stay out of trouble. This caused him to be overlooked by his parents. They were more concerned with his sister's rebellion. For the most part this didn't bother him and he focused more on his life outside of home. He found at an early age that he liked to act and so he tried out for all the plays he could. He liked that he could be anyone on stage and that people would take notice of him. It wasn't until he tried out for his first musical and discovered another passion. He became absorbed in music as well and he dedicated his free time to learning all he could about music. his parents agreed to let him take piano lessons as well if that would get him to leave them alone. His sister, victoria, was all too happy to take him to practices and concerts so she could get out of the house.She was happy that she could help her brother pursue his passions. his brother aiden was more focused on learning about the family business. victoria was the one that introduced him to kpop and she was also the one that supported him when he decided to submit an audition for sm's global audition. he managed to pass the audition and his parents agreed to let him travel to south korea if he agreed to check in with his grandparents as often as possible.
life in sm was all yon soo expected it to be. He had spoken korean a little bit at home, but not enough to prepare him to live in south korea. he also had to attend high school there as well so he had to study korean on top of his class work and training. sm overworked him at any chance possible. After almost three years of training his was rumored to be debuting with Sm's new boy group exo. That was until a scandal cropped up involving him and another member. Yon soo agreed to be the one to leave the company if that meant the other man involved in the scandal would be able to stay. He was able to keep the company from blalck listing him with a peaceful resolution. If he got in trouble later it would reflect badly on him or another company and not on them. He stayed away from the idol world for the next year or so while he finished high school. exo became very popular in that time and his partner in the scandal refused to have anything do with him to prevent further scandals that might ruin his career. yon soo was frustrated by the direction his life had taken so he decided to make a change. he was no longer going to be someone that could be walked all over. After he started at university he decided to try out for another company. Jellyfish was the only company that seemed to be interested in giving him a chance.
