Personality:
Even though he is  known as the bad boy, Jason is not exactly what people think he is. He just has the image of a bad boy, smoking, charismatic performances on stage, deep dark brown eyes and his body full of tattoos. Yes, he does look like those good looking actors we see in Hollywood movies, the type of boy that all the cute and good girls dream of, but his personality says otherwise! In fact his personality and his appearance doesn't match at all.
Through all his journey as a trainee, Jason was many times called insecure of himself, insecure of his talent. But if there's something that he is not, is insecure!
In his audition for Jellyfish he was confident to the point that even the judges made a point of telling him “you weren’t as good as you thought you were.”  While in the audition he almost seems cocky, it's not the case! Jason is just too caught up in living his life to worry about such things as insecurities. He gets up on stage and he enjoys himself and if that comes across as overly confident then it’s simply an accidental interpretation. He isn’t the kind of guy to waste time on the negative things in life.  It's interesting how Jason can literally befriend anyone, but doesn't make it often. He is very cautious of those he choses as friends and even seems distant and cold most of the time. Believe me when I say that Jason is not easy to get along with, even if he seems very friendly - which he is -  he is just selective! Many trainees were afraid to approach him because of his strong looks. Yes, they were afraid of the "book cover", not the inside! However, once he feels comfortable around you, once he considers you as his friend, believe it will be forever.  And even if he is cautious about others, in love however, he might get hurt easily. He would give himself completely to his other half and in that way he’s more easily at risk of heartache. 

Jason would brighten a room almost instantaneously. It doesn’t take much analyzing to realize that he laughs at literally everything, and that kind of attitude towards people is infectious. He doesn’t seem to have an off switch either and that would possibly be the single thing that would put people off. Not everyone can handle that sort of continuous energy. His band members say that he is the happiness of the group, the one that makes all the days count, he either make them laugh with stupid jokes or running around the dorm with a cigarret between his lips! 
Jason is also called 'dumb' a lot of times! He seems to be always in his own world, sometimes falling for looking at the sky instead of seeing where he was going! He obviously didn't had any sucess in school, but he is smart! In interviews, he is always the one that answers the hardest questions, when the other members have blank stares, he will just answer with a huge smile and confidence. It would be wrong to label Jason as simple, because he isn’t and he knows it. He doesn’t take anything for granted, and he literally lives his entire life as though every single aspect is extraordinary.

Background:
His parents both had successful jobs so money never was a problem for them. Growing up, Jason had a fairly normal childhood until his parents decided to get a divorce. Things just weren't working and he could tell from their constant fighting. His father moved to London, and his mother decided to stay in Korea. During weekends and breaks from school, Jason was always flying back and forth to London to visit his father.  His parents were really young when they found out they would become parents! Jason's mother was just 17 and her father 18! Even though he was born to young and still immature parents, he always had the best things available to him, the best clothes, the best toys and the best educational systems. He never was a boy that used to have good grades, so as soon he told his family he didn't wanted to become a doctor, it was a shock to all of them, since the whole family history was about doctors or business people! The boy decided to stand up for himself and fight for what he really wanted - being a model-.
But as soon he is scouted to be a trainee under a music company, his dream life changes completely. The question is: it changed for the best, or for the worst? Possibly both. Even though music was always a big part of his life since he was a child, Jason always had doubts about becoming an artist. His grandfather gave him a guitar when he was 10 years old and he fell in love with it as soon as he started to learn how to play. However, he never thought he could become far as a singer because his voice was nothing extraordinary, his dance moves were worst than a drunk man dancing and he was too shy to be in front of cameras. 
Jason was scouted to be a YG trainee when he was 16 years old, while he was shopping with his friends. A man complimented his style and happy personality saying that he should try to audition. However, YG saw nothing special about him. His dance moves were weak, his voice was unstable and he was too shy to even sing in front of a small audience. He had the looks, yes, but his talent needed to be nailed. YG accepted him though, deep down they knew he had something hidden. But he was transfered to Jellyfish Entertainment after 2 months of training under YG. It was a shock to him, he was already warming to everyone in the company. However, it was in Jellyfish that Jason left behind the shy personality and became a true star. With 5 years of training, he easily became a boy worth of a main vocalist position!
