He’s childhood friends with Glitz’s Joomi, and the two have recently reconnected.
Jihu can play the guitar and drums, and was in a band for the majority of his high school years.
Despite being the group’s maknae, the members oftentimes joke that he belongs more in the hyung line than Jukyun does.
He has freckles, but they’re unfortunately usually covered by makeup.
Jihu admits that when he was a kid, he wanted to grow up to be a cardiovascular surgeon, but obviously his plans changed.
While he isn’t actually allergic to bananas, he just hates them, so he claims that he’s allergic as an excuse to not eat them.
The hanja for his given name, 智勳, translate to “knowledge” and “merits deed” respectively.
Fans refer to him as the group’s puppy, even if he hates it. The other members occasionally call him Jjigae, which is a double play on words with his name and the Korean word for dog/pup, as well as his favorite food, kimchi jjigae.
His favorite colors are salmon pink and rich purple, though never together.
Despite his occasionally prickly demeanor, Jihu is physically very clingy with the other boys, and is usually seen hanging off of Taejoo or Jukyun’s arm or draped over Rowan’s lap. Basically, his rule is he can only be babied when he initiates it.
He has a filthy mouth and if he’s being irritated by the others, every other word is going to be bleeped out if they’re being recorded.
Fans say he fits FEYWILD’s concept especially well, because he seems like a faerie himself due to his fine features and shorter stature.
According to him, he was very athletic in high school, and played soccer in addition to being in a band.
