100 things i love about johnny
“his english name means “god is gracious” and it’s derived from hebrew words יוֹ (yo) which is the hebrew god and חָנַן (chanan) which means “to be gracious” and i mean,, true
his korean name is written as 英浩 in hanja characters and they can mean “flower, petal, brave, hero” and “great, numerous, vast” - also true
his bad puns and pickup lines
how he donated his voice by recording audio guides to aid artists with development disabilities
how much he loves haechan and taeil :((
how much he loves nct in general
how he never fails to include both female and male fans when he’s talking so nobody gets excluded
the way he furrows his eyebrows and one side of his upper lip goes up when he says something sassy or tries sounding smart
the little, cute wrinkles that appear on the sides of his mouth when he’s smiling
how hard he works on his chinese and tries to communicate with chinese members in their native language grfsregkajeg
the way he discreetly comforted yeri on enana when she was sick
how he noticed that on the vlive commentary function it said “say something nice” and found it really nice
how he’s really humble about the things he does and his qualities, oh my god !!
he thought his selfies weren’t good and asked for advice and didn’t believe jaehyun and doyoung when they told him his selfies are really good indeed, he was so surprised when they told him!!
his wannabe raps LMAO that rap he wrote in high school still haunts me
he stayed in sm for so long, ever since 2008, but he didn’t give up and made it to debut with nct! he had to watch his friends from exo debut before him while he was left behind but that didn’t discourage him one bit ;((
how he always finds a way to play on enana during the commercial break, and it’s usually playing with the cameras, which is really cute
his smile when he’s talking with the fans
how he always does that dance where he swings his arms left to right constantly while doing the same with hips, in sync with the arm swing and embarrasses others but does it anyway
he always thinks of nct’s international fans!! he always adds a sentence of two in english so everybody understands what’s going on
he has a lot of trouble learning japanese but he still tries so hard ;((
his “boku wa johnny desu”
he’s really shy when someone compliments him, but never fails to compliment others
he has such a nice relationship with enana staff members and always helps them and encourages them
“to everyone out there, i just want to say that whoever’s listening to this is absolutely beautiful, and there’s nothing you need to change about your appearance, you’re already as perfect and unique as you are. don’t let anyone tell you differently. if you ever feel like you’re not worth anything, seek help or change your environment, don’t let the bullies get to you. life is long, life is beautiful. don’t stop right here because of these mean people. live for yourself, live happily, and show them you’re stronger than them.”
saying “bless you” when people sneeze a lot of people overlook, but he finds it meaningful
he always encourages either the nct members or complete strangers when they’re speaking english even though they make mistakes and makes them feel confident about their language skills
that one time he started randomly meowing on enana and made jaehyun laugh
ok but on a serious note tho. johnny likes to,,,meow around. idk if it grew into a (weird) habit of his but he just,,,meows. he meows around jaehyun, he meows around mark, he probably meows around everyone in nct. can i pls get this limited-edition cat too
his super broccoli and super corn t-shirts
how he never hesitates to do aegyo but regrets it straight afterward so he lowers his head and covers his face with his hands
he said he loves running through the rain when it’s raining and it’s so unusual but cute!
lmao he’s such a hopeless romantic tho, i bet he got that running-in-the-rain idea from a romance film or smth
“to do and regret, rather than not to do and regret”
his hobby is photography and he takes really nice photos which he posts on nct’s instagram!!
his signature is really pretty!! it’s one of the most beautiful signatures i’ve seen an idol have tbh
he plays the piano really well and he used to play it together with jaehyun in their room when they were roommates
during the time he shared the room with jaehyun, jaehyun used to always light up scented candles and it sometimes bothered johnny but he never said anything about it so jaehyun wouldn’t feel bad
also,, he sleeps naked?? but like,, he’s so open with it. he’s like oh? clothes? i don’t wear clothes when i sleep lol and taeil is ????? so c o n f u s e d but johnny is just there, with a big grin on his face lmao
he’s a bit clumsy but it makes him adorable ;-;
his laugh!! it goes from a simple giggle to a high pitched laughter and it’s so recognisable and funny to hear, but it never makes you tired of hearing it
the dimples that appear on his face when he’s smiling, #help
he always gives other members the chance to speak in english if they want to or if they’re confident but never forces them if they don’t want to
how he’s so passionate about photography and he uses his camera more to capture the nature and his members than to take pictures of himself
also. that one photo of a smiley face written on a foggy car window (probably?) that he took is so, so, so important.
seriously, i love the style of photography he is going for!!
how he always participates when nct does volunteer work, like how he went to that school and made meals for children or how he went to a p.e. class and taught the kids how to dance
the way he laughs!! he always laughs in little fits, like, it goes hahaha hahahaha hahaha and it’s a d o r a b l e
how he’s secretly a meme king and loves sharing memes with nct members on their gc but they never reply to him and it’s so sad but so cute fsdjkghs
the way he looks at cameras like they’re the most precious things in the world
he never fails to hype a nct member up!!
how much he loves his family. he doesn’t talk about them a lot but when he does you can see it in his eyes how much he misses his parents. also when he cried when they sent him a video message for his birthday during his smrookies days!!
also when he was so surprised and teared up when his mum sent an audio message to enana back in 2018
“love starts with a smile” - johnny, 170327
he always sees beauty in some things that would usually get overlooked or wouldn’t be seen as beautiful and pretty and he never fails to express how he finds them nice!!
his relationship with mark. it’s not only that they’re english speakers so they’re close, you can see just how much johnny cares for mark. mark is like johnny’s little brother
he has a tendency to say things in a tone someone could find sarcastic but he really means it. he uses these phrases that have grown to be seen as sarcastic only to convey his true feelings and i find it so unique and beautiful (like when he said “it’s beautiful, mark” in the first relay vlive when mark, jaemin, winwin and kun were making standees for the sprouts - one would think he’s saying it just so that he wouldn’t hurt mark’s feelings but if you listen closely enough, you can hear the sincerity in his voice)
how he uses “your one and only” when writing to the fans
also the message on a photocard for the regular-irregular album where he wrote “from your one and only to my one and only” i literally blushed okay.
seriously though, the messages he writes on photocards are so thoughtful and cute, for example on the regulate pc he wrote: “simon says... smile!” and like,, i might have cried.
his face with no makeup on!!!
his thighs that are both muscular and soft, you can’t really tell if he’s really fit or a bit chubby and it makes my heart go whoosh whoosh bc!! my bias!!! is chubby!!!!! and i love it!! !!!!
seriously though, the songs he recommends and/or plays on enana
he says he’s a really clumsy person or it’s just his height so he always bumps into things and i find it adorable even though it must hurt him but how can you not love these small things about this giant man shjsjs
how he sleeps with so many plushies and gives them names and always changes the one he’s hugging at night om g
“pandas. OmG PANDAS” - johnny in ikea
have i already said this but he’s so empathic and compassionate and conscientious and always tries to make people around him feel comfortable with his jokes and warm smiles
he’s also so patient and laid-back and doesn’t get angry so easily, like, someone would probably get angry with yuta were it his phone number that was exposed (even by accident) but johnny was just liek,,,yah it’s okay and forgave yuta and sgjdjsh he’s just so nice :(
how he thinks make-up shouldn’t be limited to girls only and doesn’t believe in gender roles!!
in addition to that, he even appeared in an episode of netflix’s bill nye saves the world that touches on the topic of sexuality & identity and it’s such a big thing for an idol, especially a rookie idol to talk about how kpop is changing the traditional ideas of what gender norms are in such a conservative country??
“just be yourself. i feel like that’s a big point” - johnny in bill nye saves the world
*serious, with a smile on his face* “do you have a boyfriend?” *serious* *can’t contain the cringe and laughter* *turns away in an adorable way*
johnny’s fashion evaluation much?? it’s just him giving weird names to nct’s outfits and pretending to be an expert by giving them star ratings but it’s all just random and it’s so funny shjsh
while we’re at being funny! god of humour!! right there!!!! johnny suh invented humour ok i don’t make the rules
like,, his humour is not the normal kind, i saw many people actually say he’s not funny but LMAO joke’s on you, his humour is the galaxy brain type of humour, it’s like,, a bit dry but it’s so funny if you’re on the same page as him
when he went to ikea with jaehyun to buy a lamp but they only ended up looking at plushies and johnny immediately made friends with two snake plushies, fred and jason. “fred, what are you doing here??” “jason, jason! no, he’s my friend, jason. jason, he’s my friend.” - johnny in ikea, after saving jaehyun from jason’s bite. like that’s so random but it’s working because i’ve melted
him wearing hoodies and putting them over his head while taking photos of his members is so precious and soft!!
the way his pinky kind of drifts away from the rest of his fingers when he’s waving or covering his mouth or doing anything with his hand really
his plump lips and the way they curl upwards a bit and it makes them look so c u t e but they’re also a bit sexy???
he has these scars on his face (a lot of them on his chin) that are almost invisible because of the makeup but i think they’re from pimples, perhaps? but they’re so beautiful and precious and i love them when he smiles and they get a different shape and it’s art?? on someone’s face?????
he speaks so confidently in korean even though it’s not his native language! one would think it is by the way he never stutters or has a loss for words but it’s just because of his never-ending friendliness and confidence that’s a part of his personality
remember the rolling paper event during the 127 1st anniversary party? all of johnny’s messages were the longest ones and were so heartfelt and sincere. he really poured his entire heart while writing those and that only shows just how much he loves his members
his role inside the group may seem unimportant but he’s one of the few people holding the group together. there is taeyong as the leader, but johnny is like a leader from the shadows who puts everyone before himself first - and it is not easy to do
he cares for the foreign members so, so much. out of all the nct members, he’s been in sm the longest and as a foreigner he understands and knows what it’s like to suddenly be in a completely new country surrounded by nothing but strangers. he kept on conversing with ten, both in english and in korean, so ten would feel more comfortable and he’s the main reason ten’s korean has gotten so much better. also, he takes so much patience with the chinese members who have language barriers with both him and the rest of nct and never fails to correct them when they say something wrong or when they can’t think of a word/phrase to say. when they were touring seoul, he was always next to lucas and closely listening to how lucas speaks so that he can help him learn better!!
johnny knows how to flirt and seduce but what he doesn’t know is how to act afterwards so the embarrassment that comes after he says something cringy is just the most adorable think ever (take “do you have a boyfriend?” ig video for an example). he’s just so awkward and he can’t compliment someone without blushing ;(
also oh boy, johnny is just so bad at lying like fksjshksh he can’t keep a secret to save a life. were we, nctzens, not so dumb, we’d get so many spoilers he accidentally gave lmao
while we’re at this, he also can’t have a nice phone because he literally doesn’t care about it, hE THREW IT IN THE FLOOR in that one video, isn’t that enough as it IS
also,,,,,,he put a metal fidget spinner on its screen and somehow expected it not to break?????? just how lovable this idiot is.
he’s so,,,,awkward and cute around girls,,,like,,,,,,,help me. him confessing to yoona (kind of?) is the cutest thing ever and it just fills my heart with love and i!! wanna protect!!!!!
the thing i always look at when i watch enana are his ears because he always fiddles with them and touches the earring(s) and it’s cuuuute
but lmAO somehow the earring(s) always fall out when he does touch them and it’s somehow so,,endearing because he’s so cute jfc
he once said he tries using “thank you” and "i love you” a lot because those words are so powerful and he seems to always want to bring smile to other people’s faces..
also!! his parents call him prince as a nickname and,,well. i might be crying because that’s s o f t
do you know that johnny always tries to wear colourful clothes on rainy days so that he breaks the monotony and the nostalgia of rain?? fdkjhsrgahkdsg
“you can overcome everything with laughter”
also,, have you noticed how he always makes a double peace sign when he’s embarrassed? cute.
