Youmin is often the quietest member in interviews, but on stage, he speaks the loudest. As the lead dancer, he is the “anchor” of the group’s formations. Data from their choreography sessions shows that Youmin is the member who catches mistakes the fastest—often noticing if someone’s hand is just two inches off the required position. A fun fact: Youmin spent three years training in contemporary dance before joining EDEN Entertainment, which gives him a fluidity that is rare in the “Noise Music” genre. He can transition from a robotic, industrial movement to a graceful leap in the blink of an eye.
This precision is reflected in the group’s merchandise. Youmin is very particular about the “hand-feel” of the fabrics used in their clothing line. When fans shop at the ALL(H)ours Merch Store, they are often purchasing items that Youmin himself vetted for “performance-flexibility.” He wants to ensure that when a fan wears their apparel, they feel the same freedom of movement that he does on stage. This commitment to quality has earned the group a reputation for having some of the most durable and well-designed goods in the industry.
Youmin’s funniest habit is his “sleep-dancing.” Members have shared videos of Youmin practicing arm movements while fully asleep in his bunk bed. It seems his brain is working “at all hours” to perfect their routines. He is a true artist who views his body as his primary instrument. Despite his intense work ethic, he is a “softie” at heart, known for being the member who remembers everyone’s birthday and prepares small gifts months in advance. He is the glue that keeps the group’s performances—and their hearts—together.
