· Insecurity: Believes he still has a lot to improve and cannot accept his achievements.
Self-criticism: Frequently badmouths himself, considers himself a "worthless" leader. Openly speaks about his body image.
· Mask of happiness: Always smiles in public, hiding sadness and anxiety behind a mask.

Food: Loves steak, chicken, and protein foods. He hates pineapple on a burger (it's a famous meme). He loves pineapple juice, though.
· Drinks: Doesn't drink coffee at all (says it's tasteless). And hates soda (it stings his throat).
Sports: As a child, he swam (he even broke the school record). Now he diligently goes to the gym for strength training.
Sleep and Insomnia: Suffering from chronic insomnia due to working night shifts, he may sleep only 1.5–3 hours a night. He also has breathing problems during sleep (sinusitis, apnea).
· Pets: He has a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Berry who lives with his family in Australia.

Face: Square face shape with a strong jawline, monolid (Asian) eyes with a piercing gaze and deep dimples.

· Features: Flat feet. "Vampire" skin due to constant studio work and lack of sun.

· A natural leader: He personally selected the members of Stray Kids, designed the logo, and served as the link between the company and the members.
· Caring and warm: Fans call him the "safe-space leader." He is very attached to the members and cares for them.
Jealous and possessive: Rarely shown, but when it does occur, it's very serious. He can even be jealous of a mosquito that bites Hyunjin.
· Hot-tempered (rare): Usually calm, but can experience moments of tension or fatigue. Early in his career, he could drive participants to tears due to his high demands.
· Perfectionist and workaholic: He stays in the studio until late at night working on music. His personal studio is called "Bang Chan's Lair."
