Reasons Why ENHYPEN’s Sunoo Is A “One-of-a-Kind” Idol That’s Worthy To Stan

Picking a K-Pop idol to stan should meet factors you find interesting, be it their music, dance, variety show skills, or even visuals. But one thing K-Pop stans are undeniably attracted to is their idol’s personality. The genuineness you see as time pass idolizing them brings a certain connection that forms like a bond between two persons.

More than skills as an idol, J.Y. Park (Park JinYoung), JYP’s founder, also often stresses the importance of a person’s character as a quality he looks for when signing an artist. 

Being dubbed as “Stan Attractor“ of his group, Kim SunWoo or simply Sunoo of ENHYPEN is living up to the name. Aside from his skills in singing, dancing, performing, while having that visuals you’ll never get tired of looking at, Sunoo has a charming personality that will pull anyone to his lane.

Listing down reasons and instances as to why Sunoo is a “one-of-a-kind” worthy-to-stan K-Pop idol, that will make sure you’ll be a certified or loyal Baragi (Sunoo fan) by the time you finish reading the article.

 

1. Chivalry is gone? Not for Sunoo

Behind-the-scenes, on-cam sightings, and even former classmates can testify to how much of a gentleman Sunoo is. From helping a girl schoolmate from menstrual cramps by going to the clinic to get medicine, to covering his staff’s face on live cam to protect her privacy, there are so many things he can do for the people around him.

 Even kids can feel his good nature, as they easily feel comfortable having him around!

 

2. Stems from him having a close bond with his mom and sister

It’s a no-brainer now how Sunoo grew up to be so outgoing yet gentle with everyone he meets. And that’s because he’s keeping a close relationship with his family, particularly his mom and sister (whom he usually talks about too ever since “I-LAND“). They even had a sibling date not long ago!

 

3. Humble to even acknowledge he is lovable enough to have fans

Hello? You’re THE Kim Sunoo, one of the recipients of the loudest cheers from the crowd every ENHYPEN world tour stops. He can feel the support but of course Sunoo will still ask why he’s deserving of those lauds.

Fun fact: There was even an unofficial spontaneous contest of “The Country with the Loudest Cheer for Sunoo” during the “Manifesto” tour.

But as he is an F (Feeling – in ENFP), and appreciative of what he’s receiving, he’ll send his gratitude towards ENGENE (ENHYPEN fandom name) with his genuine words and heartfelt messages towards them.

 

4. Sunoo is transparent with his thoughts, concerns, and feelings

Sunoo is a thoughtful person in a way that he’s wary of his surroundings and the actions he’ll do to not make the other party uncomfortable. But being considerate to others comes with him being considerate of himself and his feelings too.

In one of the YouTube variety shows he attended with another ENHYPEN member, Jake, he raised his concern about having sharp features which makes him look intimidating. He wants to remove the negative perception people have of him when he’s not smiling. He wants them to know that it’s just him having tired facial muscles from smiling.

 

4. “Sunoo’s Emotion”

More than just photos of nature, sky or moon, “Sunoo’s emotion” is Sunoo’s way of showing part of his current feelings, preview of his life, the world through his eyes, and just to share how beautiful life is. He constantly posts photos and even videos with different vibes, seasons, and emotions.

 

5. A bibliophile

Reading self-help books is one of Sunoo’s hobbies when he’s on a break or on standby for filming. He said that reading these kinds of books help him understand more of himself and his own emotions.

With such a vast list of healing book recommendations to ENGENE, we had to make  a compilation for it. Read more about it here: ENHYPEN Sunoo’s Healing Book Recommendations Will Make Life A Little Easier | Booked & Busy.

 

6. Mature mindset and positive outlook in life. He can even make people confident by his words and teaches how to embrace one’s self.

He can be a motivational speaker!

His love for self help books gives him a lot of wisdom for his age. He’s like your best friend who can give genuine advice in any situation you’re in. He can be like a life mentor who’ll always say to love yourself first more than anyone else, or a brother who will cheer you on and pats you on the back for doing well.

Sunoo is sunshine personified, not just because of his bright smile or happy aura, but because of his words that can bring light to your dark life. His heartwarming words can melt even a cold heart or bring a ray of shine that’s most needed in stormy weather.

 

6. Comfortable showing his randomness and expresses his feelings in the moment

That’s Sunoo and it is how he is. 

Doing a bird pose in a street?

On the outside, it might seem like a scary dark place. But Sunoo’s just having a monologue with himself while eating chocolate — with scary stuffed toys beside him. He sure is brave.

He has even been seen crying, showing it is okay to cry. Crying doesn’t mean you are weak, it only means that you have a heart, and you need it to get back and be strong again.

 

7. An easygoing person with a contagious smile

Sunoo, a person with a contagious smile and laugh, can instantly make people working around him comfortable. He has a great relationship with everyone as he’s easy to get along with, which makes him a good friend and workmate.

Helping the staff make their own props, in this case confetti, for their encore? He got it.

Even becoming an instant stylist for his manager’s hair together with the other staffs, while on standby. He got it covered!

He provides food, greetings, and any act of gratitude towards those working behind the camera, as a way of his appreciation for working hard for them.

He also had an immediate close bond, like they were working with each other for months already, with his co-MCs when he had the chance to be a special MC in Inkigayo for two Sundays.

 

7. So much more to offer up his sleeves

Despite all the details and information people observe of him, Sunoo is still a mystery. And he’s slowly unraveling the things he can still do. Some examples include:

He’s artistic

He can play different instruments; such as the piano and recorder.

He knows how to skate because his mom used to enroll him in a figure skate and gymnastic classes.

He’s a black belt in Hapkido.

All of these factors make people interested in Kim Sunoo, give fans and non-fans reason to cheer for him, and anticipate the things he can still do with his potential.

While there’s this long list of reasons to love him, yet this is still the tip of the iceberg. One thing’s for sure, Baragi, is one of the most loyal sub fandom. Are you in this long wild ride of supporting Sunoo now? Did he successfully use his charm to make you stan him? Which will make you stan his group too sooner or later?

Just like what Bang PD’s message to Sunoo when he became the Producer’s Choice to debut in “I-LAND”,

“Be the connecting point that gives joy to the world.”

And so Sunoo did, and he’s continuously being that bridge which connects and brings joy to everyone.
