• Has Onew condition, haha, when he tries to be funny, but instead freezes the atmosphere awkwardly... But there's always that odd occasion once or twice a year that someone actually finds it funny :P
• Has an obsession with NG-ing, quote Key: "You just can't not NG, can you!?"
• When he was little and had long hair, he used to tie his hair up with the string used to tie up the bread bag
