Information about his parents cannot be gathered as he hardly talks about them but not without mentioning that he came from a poor home. His parents did not support him initially in his chosen career and would rather he become a civil servant and live a stable life. But, they now give him their full support and has described him as a child worth being proud of.

Apart from music, one other thing that interests this star is basketball. He won basketball games quite a few times while in school and had played every Sunday when he was a trainee. He usually played as a point guard or shooting guard and is better at defence than offence. His position as a shooting guard earned him his nickname Suga which was coined from the first syllables. He’s cute, nice, has a charming smile and a delicate look which matches his sobriquet.
