His father is an economics professor, and his mother is a teacher, indicating a strong academic background.

Bloggers highlight Suho's dedication, noting his efforts to maintain his studies even amidst a demanding trainee life. They emphasize his regret over not completing his studies at Hanyejong, yet acknowledge his continued passion for acting, which led to his film debut in 'Glory Day' in 2016.
