APPEARANCE
Tyson is a pretty tall person with a height of 177 cm. His natural hair colour is black but he dyes his hair a different colour once in a while. In his point of view, the colour that he liked the most is blonde.
STYLE
Tyson's type of style is that he would normally dress smart casual. His best combination is a nice button-up shirt, with a nice blazer and a pair of dark colour jeans. When people look at how he dresses it seems that Tyson gives off a sense of vintage style. In a suit, he looks classy and elegant like he's a young master from an 'old money' family. But he can also go causal eg. a simple v neck top, black jeans, sneakers and either a bomber jacket or leather jacket.

PERSONALITY
+Positive: Creative, Kind, Social butterfly
-Negative: Clumsy, Daydreamer, Forgetful
Tyson is the type of person that is like the brother that always treats their siblings. Whether his friends or fellow trainees wanna go out to eat, buying snacks or wanna go places; Tyson would make it happen. He would get scolded for always spoiling the other younger contestants that he got to know in the show so he would tone it down a bit for a while. He is also the type of person that would volunteer to do something if no one else wants to do it. Most of the time you would see him doing the dishes since no one else wants to do it. He really looks after the younger contestants and sees them like the siblings he's never had. He loves meeting new people and most of the time start the conversation. Growing up he read a lot of comic books. His favourite hero was Captin America and Thor. He looked up to the two but mainly Captain America due to a sense of bravery and honour the character has. When he was younger he wanted to be just like him; I guess that some of that made its way into his own personality.
He would play the cello in his free time and it's like he gets lost in another world when he's playing the cello or composing music. When this happens it takes a lot to pull him out and back to reality. This also happens when he's listening to jazz music. He can also be forgetful especially when he goes to buy groceries he would always forget something. So everyone ends up writing downs what they need from the supermarket and give the list to him. He remembers when schedules are but would forget when dance practices are.
BACKGROUND
Tyson Woo was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA on the 18th of April in 1996. His parents were pretty well off so Tyson grew up comfortably. They lived next door to an elderly couple who were later known as the Harrison couple. In his younger years, he used to go over to their house to keep them company and play with their granddaughter Charlotte; his family was always welcome. But as he grew up his parents would always fight, so he would stay over at Harrison's place more often. The elderly couple would play old vinyl records of jazz/swing music ranging between the 1920s to the 1950s which Tyson grew to love. When he turned 13 years old his parents got divorced and his dad got custody over him. From middle school through to high school he would hang around with Charlotte as friends. During 8th grade, he and Charlotte enrolled to an after school academy where he learnt to play the cello while Charlotte learnt how to act.
In senior year of high school while he was exploring New York City University he met with Scott Bradlee and his group of friends. Scott pitched the idea that he was starting a group that takes current pop songs and gives them a jazz spin. Tyson thought it was an awesome idea and asked to join Scott and his friends welcomed him and he really enjoyed it. He ended up doing Art's course in Uni majoring in classical jazz music. Near the end of the second years, he wanted to explore more genre of music and found that kpop was rich in styles of music so he decided to quit uni and told his dad that he wanted to try out in the kpop which his dad supported him. So he flew to Korea and lived with his aunt in Seoul. He tried to audition of JYP but was rejected then auditioned for Maroo Entertainment which he got through.

STAGE NAME
Tyson (타이슨) - It's just his name and it makes life easier
POSITION Vocals
TRAINEE LIFE
1 Year and 8 months at Maroo Entertainment. Being trained in jazz and swing music before arriving back in Korea made him noticed by the trainers that trained the trainees. When practising his vocals a unique style shines through his singing which he was praised for. However, he found that he was falling behind the other trainees when in dance practice which is why he spent most of his nights practising until he caught up with the other trainees. While training as a trainee and watching how kpop has grown. Tyson thought that bringing back jazz to the mainstream would give him a sense of originality and uniqueness. So he would not only compose music that would suit the mainstream media but he would find a way to add the jazz/swing background that he grew up with.
LIFE ON HEXA⬣GON
Seeing how Tyson really is, he would probably become the older brother to a lot of tainees. Some of the other trainees would flock to him to try and get under his 'wing'. He'll be the designated Hyung or Oppa that protects his younger dongsaengs.
