The nicknames he has been lucky to earn are Technician, Mr. Wristband, Mingyu Shop, Kim-ssi ahjussi, and some others. He is currently signed to Pledis Entertainment as all other guys from the group. Rap artists of the group decided that the newcomer was much older than them when the guys got acquainted with him meeting him for the first time. However, later on, they started treating him as if he was their little junior brother.
