A true star that shines brightly wherever he goes. His eyes are so captivating and so is his personality. Weird, most of the time, but you'll get to love him because of his uniqueness and craziness. One of the most hardworking people you'll meet. A loyal and genuine friend. An inspiration and a role model. You'll never get enough of his amazing voice. Plus, his looks are to die for~ A handsome weirdo who makes girls scream at the top of their lungs! Ooh~ He looks so damn hot with glasses, too.
You're one of a kind, Sungjae.

Sungjae, Yook can do it.
Oh my me!
