Firstly when Seongwoo was in high school, his position was Jal Ddo (Handsome Weirdo/Dork/Crazy Guy)
Because he looked good, he was really popular from when we were in school and he received lots of signals from the juniors

He was in charge of the gag expressions or reactions for his friends, to the point where people often said “if you’re going to use your looks like that, give them to me”
Honestly, when he was filmed as a Ggondae (T/N: someone, usually old, who cares about ranking/seniority), I thought it would be a matter of time until it was resolved when they showed him getting along well with the other Produce kids
Guys kind of have a subtle tendency of being serious about their ranking, so it’s usually hard to become close amongst guys, but Seongwoo would be the first to say something funny or release the tension with an idiot-like expression, and he was good with the guys.
Also, another thing I think is Seongwoo’s strength is that he really doesn’t hold grudges. A real example is in past, there was a kid that said some really serious words that even mentioned about whether his parents were well (not me), but when school was ending someone bought Coke and Seongwoo was the first to open the Coke can for him. Of course that kid refused at first because of his pride but even later when their relationship because sort of awkward, Seongwoo didn’t care about that and treated him the same way as before
Also Seongwoo has a tendency of coming off as a broadcast genius but he actually practices a lot. It’s not that he doesn’t gain weight, and he reveals a lot about what he eats but even when he eats that much, his body is never still through out the whole day, and he moves subtly.
Although he may seem inexperienced at first he’s the type that will cover it up with practice and destroy everyone, so I was a bit afraid of him and also got jealous.
In the broadcast he sometimes comes off as being a heodang (T/N: looks smart but is rather blur/clumsy) or dazed, but that’s how Seongwoo actually is.
As he also knows that if he is expressionless or if he’s quiet, his strong features make it seem like he’s angry, if you meet eyes with him he often will either smile or make a funny face.
Also he really likes eating. When we decide to snack on tidbits, instead of the bigger sized kids it’s usually Seongwoo who’s left till the end.
Another actual example is that he was very fair to his friends.
There were friends that did well or friends that didn’t, but honestly if you make promises like “let’s meet 2 weeks later and eat at this place” in passing, the person that agreed will probably let it pass thinking it’s just words but Seongwoo would remember it first and remind through Kakao messages. He was a kid that would follow up on what he said. And he’s also one of the cases where he would be at the agreed meet-up location early.

I’ll just roughly write this much.
To me, he was honestly an unpleasant existence and was uncomfortable at first, but he’s really a friend that taught me loyalty.
Although this post has is rather business-y and it might make you uncomfortable, whether it’s through a positive or negative view, continue to watch Seongwoo and please cheer for him lots. Bye.
