Youngjae was scouted through social media and trained for 3.5 years before debut. He dreamed of becoming an idol since age 9 and grew up as a fan of INFINITE. His vocal technique anchors TWS tracks with stability and emotional depth that elevates the group's boyhood pop sound.
Members describe him as someone who likes to take care of others but is bad at lying. He loves reading and badminton. His favorite color is green, though he expresses himself through sky blue. Youngjae rooms with leader Shinyu.
As main vocalist, he carries the vocal load on TWS title tracks while maintaining precise choreography. His dual-threat capability as vocalist and dancer makes him a core performance asset for the group.
