He likes reflecting on his day and has a habit of turning his demise into comedy. The athlete takes his training very seriously and would even go out of his range to perfect a skill. He rarely complains to his coach while on the rink, though he easily gets frustrated when things don't go his way.He is an attentive and observant person. Contrary to his modest facade, he becomes talkative around people he is comfortable with. He likes conversing about different topics that pique his interests.Jihoon is an ISTJ.
