1. Outline

A South Korean singer, member of boy groups EXO and EXO-K. The leader of the group and the lead vocal.

His dream since elementary school was to become a singer, but due to his parents' objection, he was only going to prepare to become a singer after he entered university. However, when he was in middle school, while doing community service at a park, he was cast by SM's casting manager who had come to watch a contest. After that, he got permission from his parents to audition and then joined the company. He began his life as a trainee at the end of 2005. His trainee period was roughly 6.5 years, the longest in the group. 


2. Personality

He has a model, upright personality that you can tell from his kind and gentle looks. He is very leader-like and tends to take responsibility for the members and care for them considerately. (However, sometimes his aegyo and cuteness bring out the smiles of those who are watching him). The most rebellious thing he has ever done up till today is sleeping overnight at a sauna with his parents' permission (...) after a fight with this brother. At that time, his own phone wasn't working, so he even borrowed his mom's phone before leaving the house. 

[Magazine article about idols who are the best husband material]
EXO SUHO.
Ideal husband who doesn't seem to have any flaws.

In order to maintain a long, happy marriage, men need to put in all kinds of effort. When things are tough, you can comfortably depend on him, and he exercises lateral leadership where you can share anything with each other and exchange opinions. He has positive thinking and wittiness that can make your relationship more enjoyable. When you imagine a person with all these qualities combined, if EXO's leader Suho came to mind, then you got the right idea. The various ways Suho handles situations when EXO are on variety shows or during unpleasant occurrences are not much different from the qualities of a good husband listed above. For girls who disregard these conditions and just want to live looking at her husband's face, Suho is undoubtedly a good husband in that respect too.

[Anecdote]
Because he's a leader that leads all the members, I had vaguely guessed what his image would be like. Actually, the Kim Junmyeon I met in real life was completely different from my expectations. He was delighted by small compliments, and he gave off maknae-like vibes with his angelic, cheerful cuteness.
source: 160404 [Interview Q] 'Glory Day' Kim Junmyeon, AKA EXO's Suho's "Actor Debut", "Rather than 'when', the 'how' is more important"


3. Vocals

He is the lead vocal of the group. Just like his face, he has a holy clear and clean vocal colour, and presents a different kind of charm from the main vocals D.O. and Baekhyun. His clear vocal colour is similar to member Lay's vocal colour, so their parts frequently overlap when divided into Korean and Chinese versions. His voice is high-toned, he can pull off high note choruses quite well. When he has to do the main vocals' (high note) adlibs, Suho holds up pretty well. 

He has the best singing skills after the main vocals, so he receives the most parts after the main vocals. He's currently the lead vocal, but because his position used to be sub vocal, his skills tend to be a little underrated. If you take a look at the MR removed videos on Youtube or other video sites, you can see that Suho's live singing skills are quite good among EXO. He's a member that improved a lot in order to be just as good as the other vocal members.


4. Character


4.1 Brain

When he was a trainee, he hurt his leg and was going for rehab, so he was unable to dance for a year. Due to that, debuting became hard for him. Even while he was training, he still went to school faithfully at the same. As a result, he was in the top 50 in his grade and managed to enter Korea's National University of Arts on his first try. At the time, the acceptance rate was 64:1. He completed a written test and performed 'Romeo and Juliet' for his practical test. He was given situations like 'arrogant doctor' and 'threatening gangster'. He broke other people's expectations by acting out the situations in his own interpretation. If you watch "090314 Korea's National University of Arts 3-day documentary", you can find Suho when he was still studying there, After he started university, he became the Korea's National University of Arts' cutie...


(t/n: You can find him at 2:48 ♡ 
The game is when your number is called, you have to act something out on the spot)


4.2 Golden proportions


The class of his public TV news visuals

Cosmetic surgery experts pick the #1 star with the best golden facial proportions: EXO Suho
Surpassing tough competition, the star who ascended the throne of golden facial proportions is Suho. Experts give him the thumbs up, saying, "You can see that Suho's face has the golden proportions of 1 : 1 : 0.8 for his forehead, the distance between his forehead to his philtrum and the distance from his philtrum to his chin."
source: eNEWS24 [Idols, facial proportion gangsters BEST4] 2015.01.07
The face with golden proportions
He's blonde... so holy...


Just like what they said, Suho can be said to be the standard beauty. With his undeniably handsome face and kind nature, he's known as the engagement* free pass holder. 
(t/n: more accurately, 상견례 sanggyeon-re is the meeting between the bride and groom's families before they get married. basically saying that he gets an immediate free pass from his spouse's family)


4.3 Engagement free pass holder


8 male celebrities whom their girlfriend's mom would approve of no matter what - EXO Suho
If someone has a heartwarming face and a faithful, gentle image, when they go for their engagement meeting (sanggyeon-re), they won't get nitpicked and can pass on the first try. These people are known as 'engagement free pass holders'.

Seungil Hope Foundation support

  • Took part in Ice Bucket Challenge [Sehun's instagram]
  • Donated to Seungil Hope Foundation [The foundation uploaded the anecdote of Suho's donation on Facebook] 
(t/n: the post states that Suho donated 200 dollars. the director? said that at their age, they don't really know the current popular idols but they know EXO because fans had donated to them on the members' birthdays)
  • Wore the WITHICE donation bracelet [link]
  • Wore the WITHROSE sweater 

  • Constant interest in the foundation and frequent donations 
(t/n: Suho said that he would love to attend the Shall We Walk walking event if he had time, but couldn't because of his schedule. After the event, he sent some donations.)

Conversation between the foundation director and Suho
Director: Suho-ssi! How are you? Thankfully, the event that you couldn't attend ended successfully. I felt very reassured because I was able to share my stories with Suho-ssi in the midst of preparation. Also, did you donate to the foundation by any chance? The sender's name was Junmyeon-ssi~~
Suho: Yes, that's right. I want to say that I'm thankful for the sweater and that I'm wearing it well. I'm also sorry I couldn't attend the event so I sent some donations. I hope you have a nice day!

Polite attitude
  • He was an MC on a music program. He was wearing a hat throughout the broadcast. When Beast, who were giving their winning speech, gave an eulogy to the late Shin Haechul, he immediately took off his hat, not caring about his hat hair.
  • When athlete Kim Yeona was having a hard time coming down from a high place, he offered him his arm instead of his hand, so that she wouldn't feel burdened (to hold his hand). 
It even appeared in a hospital coordinator's manners manual
  • Before he shook hands with a senior, he buttoned his open jacket. 
  • It had rained, so, in a pinch, he used his sleeve to wipe the seat the fan was doing to sit on. 
  • Being considerate to the fan who was wearing a skirt, he took off the jacket he was wearing and gave it to her

Donation to Fruit of Love, Community Chest of Korea
  • Since 2013, he has been consistently donating to Fruit of Love annually at the end of the year. His total donations amount to 141 million won (as of 2020). In actuality, his annual donations were only made known in 2020 after he donated to the COVID-19 fund. He is spreading great positive influence. 
Suho donates 50 million to COVID-19 relief fund via Fruit of Love, Community Chest of Korea. [,,,] He has been donating annually at the end of the year since 2013 and has donated 141 million won in total.

4.4 Others

  • He has a lot of money?
It's said that he's been treating the members to meals since they were trainees. When member Baekhyun was asked 'if you had a little sister, which member would you want to introduce her to?', he answered Suho. The reason was that he treats often.

Only Suho was a university student when they were trainees. He said that he received more pocket money than his high school student dongsaengs, so he could treat his dongsaengs.

In conclusion, rather than a chaebol who just blows his money, it's more accurate to say that he has a tendency to treat others kindly. That combined with his upbringing in a well-to-do household of educators was how this image was formed. Noblesse oblige?

  • Started school early
Even though his birthday is in May, he started school early and went to school with 90-liners.

He joined the company in his third year of middle school in 2005 and was same aged friends with 90-liners Yoona and Jonghyun. After that, Xiumin, who joined in 2008, was in the same school year and they became same aged friends. When Xiumin later found out that even though they were in the same school year, there was a 14 month gap between them, he suggested that Suho call him hyung one time before they become same aged friends.

Although he spent his trainee period as a teenager with Seohyun and Minho, who were also born in 1991 but one school year below. After he graduated school, they became same aged friends.

In addition, a fan who was born in April 1991 couldn't call him oppa, so she asked him how she should address him. Suho asked her to call him Suho-ssi.

  • Junhee unnie
At the SMTown Seoul Live Tour concert that was held in August 2014, Suho, along with labelmates Changmin, Kyuhyun and Minho performed Girls' Day's Something. Suho was in charge of Hyeri's lines(!). Hyeri was promoting with short hair at that time, so he came out wearing a wig that was just like that.

However, because he seriously suited crossdressing, the fans were collectively having a mental breakdown. Because he even dressed(!) similarly to Something's concept and performed the choreography with an air of sexiness, he showed a voluptuous(...) side to him, causing fans to have a bigger mental breakdown. The second from the left is Suho. 

His unique milky-white skin.

After his performance, the nicknames 'Kim Junhee', 'Junhee unnie'(...) were used among fans. After the performance, the realtime trend 'Junhee unnie' even trended on Twitter in Korea. Junhee unnie's appearance made fans feel bad about their own looks.

A continuous string of victims, whether they were acquaintances or on SNS, asked who this new female idol was.  
Q: Please tell me this girl's name
The first picture is the profile picture of my relative noona. Who is this girl? She looks 19? 20? Also, is the girl in the second picture an ulzzang? When it comes to singers, I was a SNSD fan but I think I'll switch to this girl. Please tell me the group that this girl is in and the name of the ulzzang. It's really urgent. Please let me know ASAP

Q: Who is this girl?
My noona showed me this picture and said "isn't she pretty?" She's totally my f*cking style; I like Girls Day's Hyeri, she danced to Something, so I tried to search her up but I couldn't find her. Please tell me what group she's in, her name, her age and her details. It's f*cking urgent


Q: Who is this girl?
A girl from my school has this as her profile picture. Who is this? I think it's my first time seeing this female idol. She's really pretty... I'm a little embarrassed to ask my friend


Q: Which girl group is she from? She's totally my style
I checked my kakaostory for the first time in a long time. My noona uploaded a photo so I went to check it out. She's f*cking pretty though..
She's really my style. Please tell me which girl group she's from. I'll reward you with points.


Q: Hurry. This girl
Seriously, who is she?? No, f*ck, I was on my phone and my noona sent this picture to me. Wow f*ck, she's f*cking pretty. Her hair is so shiny, she's so f*cking pretty. Is she an actress? Or a singer? She danced to Girls Day's Something. Please give me her name and other pictures


Q: My female friend told me this is EXO's Suho, she's lying right?
I asked her who this is and she said it's EXO's Suho crossdressing, but everyone can tell she's a girl. Who is she? Please reply. I think I've fallen in love..


Q: Is this person really a man?
My noona showed me this picture. She said it's my style so I took a look. She's f*cking pretty. But my noona said this person is EXO's Suho? Or D.O.? Is this true???????
I'll reward you with 50 points. Are you really telling me this is a man??


Q: Who is she? Please, this is f*cking urgent
She's so f*cking pretty. Who is she? I can't figure it out. Please....


Q: Who is this?
This is someone's profile picture I saw by chance on Kakaostory, but she's so pretty;; Who is this girl? She's my f*cking style. Please tell me her name and her group. It's urgent

Even celebrities can't look past Junhee's beauty.



If you're curious, you can type Junhee unnie in the search bar.

In Suho's own words, he said Junhee is his little sister. He also said it's hard to see Junhee now because she went to study in America...

The f*cking handsome Suho in this video said that Junhee unnie actually has stage fright so she gave up on becoming a celebrity. Please come back ㅠ

5.6.1 The Last Kiss


Rudolph (aka Myeon-dolph)
He was cast as the lead of EMK Musical Company's musical The Last Kiss. He proudly smashed the concerns people had as he was an idol and a lead vocal, not a main vocal. He demonstrated his amazing vocals and improved acting skills. A fan left the following review, "The Suho I know has a 10 point (scale) voice that he can release for a 10 point (scale) duration, but at the musical his voice was 50 points and for a 100 point duration". Director Robert Johanson was not stingy with his praise for Suho, "Suho really surprised me in 'The Last Kiss'. I already knew that he can sing, but his acting was also excellent and touching." His role was that of a crown prince so he wore a uniform; he really suited that look. As expected of Bunny Prince


5.6.2 The Man Who Laughs


5.6.2.1 Premier (2018)
Gwynplaine (aka Myeonplaine, Cottonplaine)
Group EXO's Suho (EXO, SM Entertainment) perfectly transformed into Gwynplaine in musical 'The  Main Who Laughs'
For this project, Suho did not hold back his efforts in various areas such as action training, stage acting and musical vocalization despite his busy schedule. Evidencing this is Suho's presentation of the various numbers with his rich sensibility, perfecting the Gwynplaine only Suho can do. Especially for the unique boyish charm and synchronization with his character that Suho expressed on stage, the more shows he did, the more good reviews he got. At every curtain call, he received a hot response of a standing ovation. Following Suho's vigorous activities as a singer, he is expanding his own territory with dramas and movies. Naturally, he also received good reviews for this project 'The last Kiss'. He is expected to be able to establish himself as a new star that has both ticketing power and talent in the musical industry.
source: MyDaily newspaper ["Boyish Charms"...'The Man Who Laughs' Suho, dominates even the musical stage] 2018.08.09
Having gained the title of the musical industry's rising star, Kim Junmyeon, who pulled off his first musical The Last Kiss perfectly, played the lead role of Gywnplaine in EMK Musical Company's nezt project, the world premiere musical The Man Who Laughs. He was recast by the company he debuted with. He played the lead in both musicals and became a topic in the musical industry. He was cast successively, which only actors who have everything are able to achieve. Musical actor Kim Junmyeon managed to achieve this difficult feat. Suho made the entire Seoul Arts Center's Opera Hall's seats sell out on the day of his first show! His nicknames from his project are Myeonplaine and Cottonplaine.

5.6.2.2 Rerun (2020)

Gaining recognition for his ticketing power, singing ability and acting skills in the premiere, he was cast as Gwynplaine in the 2020 rerun too. With this Kim Junmyeon too enters EMK's embrace...

8. Trivia

  • Dorm: When they were promoting MAMA, he shared a room with member Sehun. When they were promoting their 1st full album XOXO, he shared a dorm with the EXO-M members and shared a room with kai and Chen. Afterwards, the K and M dorms were divided again. While sharing a room with Sehun and Baekhyun, Baekhyun left the room to set up his own space in a corner and stayed in the living room. He was rooming with Sehun again. Then a manager's room was vacated, so now they each have their own room. Suho's room is different from his clean and holy image. He doesn't clean his room and it's hard to even walk through it. Chanyeol revealed on broadcast (Happy Together Ep 456, 160707) that even though he is particular about hygiene, he's the type that doesn't straighten up his room. Regarding this, Suho also agreed. He has a hard time throwing things away so he keeps hoarding them, so they pile up. Nevertheless, Suho said his room has changed. According to Kai (Choi Hwajung's Power Time 181122), when he entered Suho's room, all his clothes were folded and his movie posters were also framed. He said that it had become so clean it can be shown on broadcast. He didn't forget to compliment Suho, "Our Suho is all grown up."
  • When he's standing with D.O., Chen, Xiumin, their heights are similar. When he stands with Baekhyun who is 174 cm, he looks slightly shorter. He's estimated to be around 172, 173. He is part of EXO's shortie line.
  • In 2008, on the Hahaha Song Campaign, during a visit to TVXQ's practice room, he appeared along with Chanyeol and Kai.
  • He came back in 2014 with their 2nd mini album with blonde hair. He attempted a shocking image transformation. Suho had always had dark, natural hair colours. At the time he was thought to have the neat image of a model student or student council president, so it was quite a shocking attempt.
  • He was unanimously voted as 'the member who cares most about their looks' by the EXO members. Chen explained on Suho's behalf that it wasn't like 'I'm handsome', it was more like putting effort into skincare. He said that the scariest thing at airports is DSLR cameras. He is busy covering his zits with his hand at airports. The zits are non-existentㅠㅠ
  • His skin is very pale in real life. According to witness accounts by students who went to Korea's University of Arts with him, there was a very pale person sitting at the back of the lecture room. They thought that it was definitely a girl, but when they took a closer look, that person was Suho. His pale skin and his pretty looks added together, one wouldn't be able to tell whether it was a girl or a boy at a glance. As expected of the Korea's University of Arts cutie. Also, when he was promoting Lotto, the wardrobe concept was exposing a lot of the chest. At award shows or event stages and the like, 'Is that really his bare skin and not a white t-shirt underneath?', 'I just see white and nothing else'. Suho at 1:32.  His paleness is no joke. He's really not wearing a white t-shirt underneath. He also wore this outside that day, and if it was a broadcast day, the white t-shirt discourse(...) was endless. When member Sehun suggested giving him a cucumber massage (EXO second box DVD), he replied that if he got any paler, he would become transparent. Based on this, it seems like he knows how pale he is. Because he's too pale, he gets toned down makeup a lot ㅠ Even if he didn't get toned down, Junmyeon shines on his own.
  • He is said to be EXO's pharmacy. Although he's not like this anymore, he used to give out health supplements like vitamins, Omega 3, mineral supplements, red ginseng, propolis etc. (He said not anymore. He doesn't eat vitamins nor does he eat much health supplements. BOATTA EP8, 200411 He also said he doesn't eat medicine the hospital gives when he's sick. However, Kai said he happened to see Suho eat his vitamins once. (He said Kai seemed glad at that time. "It's to be shared among the members right.. we're family though!) Kai: You're a vitamin mania who seems to have vitamins A to Z, why did you eat mine? However, another testimony said that even though he seems to carry around whole bottles of vitamin tablets, if you ask him for one, there are times were he's stingy. Chanyeol asked him for one more because it was tasty, but he was reluctant to give him one more because the vitamins will be passed through the urine if two or more are eaten, which is ineffective.
  • He is sensitive to cold, like Baekhyun. Sehun, who shared a room with him, is the opposite. Suho was feeling cold so he wanted to sleep with the window closed, but Sehun felt hot so he asked Suho to sleep with a blanket. According to Kai, Suho's room is as hot as a sauna, in actuality he just can't stand the heat. Even in mid-June, you can still see him wearing a knitted tee look. It's shocking. Chen and Kai were his roommates when they were promoting their first full album, but before of Suho, even in August on days when there were heat wave warnings, Suho said that they can only turn on the air conditioner for an hour every 24 hours. The other members said that they would sweat just standing in their room, stating that it was like a wet sauna. Suho did claim that it's because their throats would get hoarse easily if the air conditioner was switched on frequently and that he's just a leader who's looking out and worried for his members... but Chanyeol answered a fan's question during a chatting event that 'he himself switches the air conditioner on first!' In the case of extreme heat, besides your health and whatnot, staying alive is the most important.
  • He said his ideal type is 'a girl who has long, natural hair who likes to read on the outside, but wild and cheerful on the inside'. Specifically, a girl who reads books by the window is his idea type. On 130802 'Yoo Inna's Volume Up Radio', he changed his ideal type. He said it's no longer long, natural hair. He seemed to have found out that fans were grumbling about his ideal type standards being too high. Then, Sehun mumbled beside him, "Looks are important too..." His recently revealed detailed ideal type is 'Shorter than me. Her skin colour isn't important. She has double eyelids and her hair is quite long. Her hair colour isn't too colourful. More than anything, she's a girl who smiles prettily'. He also revealed that she would be a girl who listens to him well.
  • He is frequently mentioned in other SM idol group members' thanks so such as Shinee and f(x). Because he had a long trainee period, they naturally got close. Besides, he is estimated to have a wide personal network. He was quite close to Shinee's Jonghyun since they were trainees. There were anecdotes about them even before debut. When Jonghyun debuted as Shinee, he showed Suho support by saying 'Junmyeon-ah, hurry up and debut!' on a radio show. Other than this, he was also mentioned in several other celebrities' interviews and frequently appears on their instagrams. He is frequently mentioned in Super Junior Kyuhyun's thanks to. He is especially close to Byun Yohan, who went to Korea's University of Arts together with him. Byun Yohan has mentioned him several times in interviews. To be precise, they both mention each other. He also said in an interview that he has a supportive friendship with Im Jiyeon and Kim Goeun. There are also photos of them together after his debut. He, Byun Yohan and Im Jiyeon are from the same class of 2009. Kim Goeun is from the class of 2010, so Suho is one year her senior. According to Kim Goeun, they have worked together as acting partners before. Min Jinwoong is his school senior. He has been taking care of Suho since predebut, and even congratulated him for becoming successful after his debut.
  • He has a pretty wide personal network. Because of his long trainee period, he's well connected in the idol industry. He is also close to Rhythm Power and Park Kwangsun from Ulala Session. Before he became a trainee, he even went to seek out Yoon Jongshin for advice. It appears that they met right after he was cast by SM. Yoon Jongshin told him that if he really wanted to do it, he should give it a try. Because of Yoon Jongshin's words, he gained the courage to go for the audition with the mindset that it was the first and last time. Thus, he attended SM's audition with Na Yoonkwon's 'Her Back' and passed. He said that he sang this song the most during his trainee period. Meanwhile, he was friends with Eddy Kim in middle school, who called him a friend from a neighbouring school. It also appears that he got close to Jang Jane while working on the songs 'Do You Have A Moment' and 'Dinner'. She said that they still keep in touch and that Suho calls her 'Jane-ius' (t/n: 천재인, genius + jane, another pun ><). According to Jang Jane, Yoon Jongshin is quite stingy with compliments even when it comes to her vocals, but when he heard the song she sang with Suho, he gave high praises saying, "Who is the person singing this song? Was he always this good at singing?" When Chen appeared on Radio Star, Yoon Jongshin revealed that he was fond of Suho, probably because he has a connection with him. Not just that, Hwang Kwanghee has great love for Suho. He has mentioned him on broadcast several times. He also made banquet noodles, which Suho likes, on a cooking program that he hosted and brought it directly to him. 
  • Kai said that Suho sleeps in foetal position. He could just sleep lying down comfortably, but he insists on curling up a the corner to sleep... It feels strangely pitiful
  • He himself said that he likes Evangelion. He even sang the famous Cruel Angel's Thesis! He said that when he does concerts in Japan, it's the song that he will definitely want to sing. (lyrics) Young boy, you'll become a legend. Oh, this is the dignity of a successful fan. He said that his favourite thing about Evangelion is not the characters but Shin and Kaoru's robot. Evidencing this is him wearing an Evangelion bag in EXO's Showtime. Interestingly, the character designer of Evangelion, Sadamoto Yoshiyuki revealed that her daughter is an EXO fan.
  • Besides Evangelion, he also likes other manga. According to Kai, when he read The Fighting, he would ask Kai to practise sparring with him; when he read One Piece, he said he wanted to become the pirate king(...); when he read Shouta no Sushi, whenever he went to a sushi bar in Japan, he would roll his rice and sashimi into sushi(...). The staff who was making sushi even brought him the water used to roll sushi. On the chinese variety program Happy Camp, he revealed his bookshelf that was full of manga.
  • At SM's Halloween Party in 2014, he cosplayed Phantom of the Opera. In 2015, he and Sehun cosplayed Kingsman agents. Actually he (Harry Hart) that we all thought died came disguised as Suho. In 2017, he dressed as the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics' mascot Suhorang. Suho heard about this mascot's name that was similar to his own name even before the Olympics began at an official event and had been promoting it consistently. As expected, he picked Suhorang's costume for the halloween party, showing his sincerity. The Olympics committee said that the sales of Suhorang goods increased because of Suho's influence and they had to restock it. Naturally, this was before the Olympics started. Suho asked the Olympics organization committee to send him a Suhorang costume of his height. At the Halloween party, Suho, inside the suit, did the pose where he extended one leg while balancing on the other. During the Olympics, the volunteer who wore the Suhorang suit was seen losing his balance and falling over when he did this pose, thus Suho once again garnered attention on Halloween. He is indeed a dance group member
  • He seems to use the internet as much as the member known as Byun-tizen.. He knew about the reactions from regular people and on SNS regarding his crossdressing. He also knows about the nicknames fans call him (...) 'Myeon-bunny' is a nickname that's famous among fans. On 1st Septmber 2015, a chatting notice that was uploaded contained the nickname along with the du dum chit meme. The fans were so suspicious that they thought SM got hacked. Following that, at the end of a concert in 2017, Suho told fans 'See you on twitter', astonishing fans. It was because he knew that Twitter is where there are the most EXO fans.

  • He understands fans' behaviour as well as Kai does. Especially during his 190721 EXplOration ment, he asked fans, "Are you pretending to be a commoner?", evoking fans' screams. He then told fans to not make their wallpapers vague (using pictures of the members' backs or pictures from afar) and instead proudly set pictures of the members' faces.
  • It appears that he is quite close to S.E.S' Bada. He attended her wedding with Lee Sooman and even took photos together. Before she got married, Bada revealed in an interview that she first met Suho at the 2016 MBC Duet Song Festival (Ep 10, 160610), saying that she's Bada (sea) and Suho is water, so they matched. From the same interview, she complimented Suho, "Even if the other party is EXO, I'm the type that speaks my mind and I don't care about what their fans think, but Suho was really an okay guy."
  • If you receive Korea's cramming learning style for such a long time, you will have many creative thoughts that no one else thinks of. For example, Gocheok dom-dom-dom (Actually, there is another point in this video, that is, spoon, chopsticks and napkin! (t/n: he brought those on stage because he wanted to hold them during Tender Love stage because of that one line in Tender Love) How does he think of such things? It's really commendableㅠ Also, his Instagram ID @kimjuncotton that he thought of himself is one of the representative examples.
  • Official SUHODUCE youtube
  • In pokemon crossover fanart, he's mostly crossed over with water type pokemon such as Chinchou, Azumarill (t/n: Azumarill is an Aqua Rabbit) etc... Among the Eevees, he's crossed over with the water type Vaporeon. 
  • When he was promoting his first solo album, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he communicated with fans via various online contents instead of offline. He performed on the three main broadcast companies' music shows without audiences. He held 3 video call fansigns and an online fanmeeting. Notably, Suho's video call fansign was also mentioned in the news, becoming the talk of the town. He is Su-dam, the successor of cyber singer Adam.
  • He is a fan of Nell. In the commemorative interview for his solo album, he said "I want to collab with Nell sunbaenim". Also, on Yu Huiyeol's Sketchbook, he sang his solo album's title track 'Let's Love' and covered Nell's 'Vain Hope', exposing himself as a hidden Nell stan.
