Quotes

“I’ve trained at SM for 7 years. It was a long period of waiting. Often, when someone who entered later than me debuted, I was jealous. But I had my dream and did not give up. On the contrary, those painful memories became medicine for me as a form of self-reflection. As a result, it was a chance for me to build more external as well as internal talents.”

“I’m surprisingly a fun person. (laughs) People who have never talked to me and just seen me from afar might not know, but if we talk or message for 5~10 minutes, then you will know that I’m a fun person!”

“After finishing wine, I’ve been keeping the bottles with the signatures of the people I drank it with along with the dates. It’s really nice to see look at the bottles from time to time and recall those moments.”

“I’m not the one pulling the cart in the front. Neither am I the one pushing it from behind. I’m just a person who brings the members together in this cart. So instead of talking about myself, I try to listen to the members as much as possible.”

“Regardless of age, if you dream, you’ll continously be in your youth.”

“Musically, I think it is my dream to build a genre of ‘Suho’ so that more people can recognize it.”

“The motivation that always drives me is the sense of accomplishment in challenges and adventures. And it’s the fans who make me feel that accomplishment. No matter what I do, if no one has any expectations of me or looks at me, I won’t have any energy to take on challenges or go on adventures.”

“As much as possible I tried to bring people together — be a glue for when we went through tough times.”

“At first I really wanted to show a certain image of myself to get people to like me, but then more and more I’d try to express myself for who I truly am, and became more comfortable showing my true self to the audience.”

“I’m not scared about getting old, because I’m an artist, more experiences and [people I meet] actually make me more … perfect. So I’m happy to get old. Actually — not happy, but … I’m OK.”
