Other Members Opinions:

Hyunwoo: "He may look like he's got everything under control, but Jaehyun hyung is secretly the most chaotic one among us. You should see him trying to decide what to eat; it's like he's planning a military operation! But really, he's the glue that keeps us together—sometimes with just a glance or a word, he can calm us all down. It's magic."
Minjun: "Jaehyun hyung is the emotional backbone of Phoenix. His voice? Pure emotion. Even though we bicker about who gets the last piece of cake, I can't imagine anyone else leading the way he does. And don't get me started on his playlists. They make you feel things you didn't even know you could feel. Honestly, his emotional depth sometimes makes me rethink how I write lyrics."
Seojun: "Hyung? He's like... imagine if a teddy bear and a zen monk had a baby. That's Jaehyun hyung! He's always there to listen, and then out of nowhere, he'll drop the funniest joke, making you laugh so hard you forget why you were upset in the first place. But just don't mess with his skin care, okay? Trust me on that."
Yoonho: "Jaehyun hyung is the ultimate paradox. He's visual of group, right? —YOU ARE ALSO THE VISUAL— Taehyun wants to get killed today! Anyways, He is all cool and composed, but behind the scenes, he's a total dork. He has this habit of talking to his plants like they're his children. It's weirdly adorable. Also, he gives the best hugs—like, scientifically proven, best hugs ever."
Taehyun:"Hyung, let's be real. You act all serious, but everyone knows you're the biggest softie. Remember that time you cried during that one drama? No? Oh, I do. But that's what makes you great, Jaehyun hyung. You've got the heart of the group, and don't worry, I won't tell anyone about that stuffed animal collection you hide under your bed—oops! (Someone cracking their knuckles) bye I need to go for recording—YOU BITCH COMEHERE—-"
Evara: "Jaehyun hyung is the kind of person you want to keep on your good side. He's like this giant, warm security blanket you can always rely on. But don't let that fool you—he's also done phd in scolding and lecturing. But seriously, he's the best at making you feel loved and appreciated, especially when you're having a rough day."
