Personality: He may look like he's conceited, but he's definitely not. He is a fun person to be with and really entertaining. Mooshin is known to be a happy virus. He is a real goofball. When you first meet him, he's like an awkward turtle, but once you become closer with him, you will see a very funny, kind and weird little guy. He is just ADORKABLE. He loves to joke around and is an energetic and cheerful person. You will see him smile a lot. Like he's smiling his worries away. Mooshin has also a very 4D-ish personality. His humor is gold. Also people tend to think he's cute. It's not the things he says that are cute, but how he acts. One of Mooshin's best traits is that he likes to do silent acts of kindness - like he would put a jacket around you to keep you warm, put a blanket over you when you're asleep, buying you snacks, making you lunch, etc.

He is definitely not a very serious guy. But you will enjoy his company, because of his pure, innocent and sometimes dreamy mind. He might sometimes appear to you like a lost puppy, staring at you randomly or all smile to himself. But his inner flame is something not to be taken lightly as he's really hardworking and goal-oriented. He is a great athlete and has been practicing Martial Arts (Kungfu) since he was 6 years old. Mooshin's also very open-minded and altruistic.
Unlike his goofy side he is also a very caring and sharing person, a loyal friend and he has great social skills. Listening to your problems, helping you out and being there fore you when times get rough come in the package. He will also surprise you with his great general knowledge, even though he tends to be more playful and childish than wise and mature. You'll never know if he's a genius or a fool.

But even though he has such fun traits, he does have his sort of dull traits. He can be BRUTALLY HONEST, letting others know exactly what he's thinking or feeling, even though it might hurt them. But due to his soft heart, he will make it up fast and apologize (you see, he doesn't have a diva-like ego).

On stage you will finally be able to see his very manly and y side. He will not be shy at all, but a y dance machine that knows how to use his skills and his fit body to make the fans swoon. He's got abs and would show them off of course with a cute happy smile on his face that even makes this hot scene look a little cute. On stage and in front of the camera he's pretty mature and charismatic. He will grab the given opportunity to show his best. He's concentrated and powerful. No sign of nervousity, enjoying every single moment. Even though he is a little more shy off stage, sometimes even insecure about how to interact with the fans, it will only make him cuter.

He's a good boy with a heart of gold and the power to make the people around him laugh and have a good time.

Family Background: Mooshin was born and raised in Seoul as the middle child of three sons of a rather wealthy family. He was a fairly chubby kid. But that changed when his parents sent him to practice Martial Arts/Kungfu when he was six. Mooshin was always a mischevious and excited kid that loved to play with his hyung. He hung around more with his huyng than he did with his peers, showing his love for his older brother. He got along with him as if they were friends. In his 2nd grade of elemantary shool he gained more friends due to him playing in a soocer team since then and then he played a lot. Playing like this everyday he would put his studies behind. But once there was a kid who got 100 points when he would have 0, so he started studiying because he became jealous. So he got a 90 and felt proud of himself for studying so hard within a short amount of time to get such a good result. In his school time he was a popular kid, his personality of being able to get along with others being the most important factor.

In middle school Mooshin joined a dance club at his school, where he saw his seniors bboying and fell for the charms of it and wanted to try it for himself. He even hoped to become an awesome senior of the dance club in the future. Around the end of his 1st year in middle school he went out to bboy competitions or school festivals where he showcased his skills. It was really fun to the point where he'd practiced dancing more than playing with his friends.

Trainee Background: Mooshin was one of the last trainees to leave a practice room. He was good at dancing, wanting to become even better. His singing was lacking in the beginning, but he became better, because he actually had good qualities. He felt comfortable performing, but he had a fear for the future in the final phase of the group's member selection. He got along with the other trainees well and also with his choreo hyungs. He concentrated on practicing as well as on studying due to his wish to graduate. He successfully graduated from Seoul Arts High School.
Training Duration: 6 years
Audition: At one point of his competition he met the person who was in charge of recruiting for the first time. He caught his attention, but not by his dancing in general, but also because of his looks. He later got a phone call to audition for JIB Ent. and he didn't have anything prepared necessarily, so he danced to one of Usher's songs that he did for the qualification exam for his art high school. That's how he got accepted as a trainee.
