✧ artist history pt. 3✧

on 2019.10.31, due to a deluge of false rumors, wonho parted ways w/ mx and sse*

on 2020.03.14, wonho's name was cleared of all suspicion. soon after, an interview was released. i highly recommend reading it, his personal growth is incredibly inspiring
* i say the neutral "parted ways" as there is many interpretations for what happened and i didn't want to get into it here
✧ artist history pt. 4✧

on 2020.04.09, wonho officially became an artist of the sse subsidiary company highline. over the last few months, he's chatted with wenee, posted selcas and pictures of his cats, told us cute little updates and slowly started his life as a solo artist
a few days ago, he posted his first vlive in 8 months. he's well-known for his vlives, winning mx an award even after his departure due to his dedication on the app

this time, his hands were shaking. despite being nervous, he bravely continued w/ a smile
the vlive started with 45M hearts, and ended with +100M

if you've made it this far, i recommend watching it. it's less than 40 minutes long with english and several other subs available. it'll help you get a better idea of the kind of person he is https://www.vlive.tv/video/200085 
okay, later i will add cute moments/interesting facts!! thank you for reading so far ♡

fun fact:
wonho comes up with designs for his stage outfits himself, even drawing them out for his stylist to use. here's some of the unique outfits he's worn
here's an interview from 2018 about his childhood, trainee days, the early days of mx, and his goals for the future. things may have changed a lot since then, but his love of fans and dreams of doing something he loves hasn't
one of my favorite vlive clips:
a fan mentioned how a worker at the ttg store was handsome, & wonho pretended to get jealous.
🐰 is he more handsome than me?
🐰 i'm not jealous, just asking *shrugs*
🐰 wow...really...you're talking about how handsome he is
he then pouted a bunch and asked his bear, bebegom, to play by themselves while the fans go play with "that ttg part-timer", then told them to go quickly and not call him anymore jkkjjfjdkjf
for my fellow gays, here's wonho and jooheon giving advice to a gay fan, telling them to stand up for themselves. it's small but i remember watching this and being so happy
he has two cats named bom (spring) and yeoureum (summer). they are ridiculously cute. his instagram pfp is yeoureum with "just summer" as the description where it used to be "just wonho"
wonho is super afraid of heights. if they had to perform on high up he held a member's hand and is afraid to look out glass elevators but still managed to bungee jump for a reality show
👤: would you like to call your mom (on the phone)?
🐰: 😖MOOOOM!!
he also managed to do this somehow??? brave af
i somehow made it this far without talking about working out lmao. he's very health conscious, and is strong enough to pick up and carry grown men (for a bit lmao). he's told fans before to send their bullies to him lmao
also while bm is the founder of the big tiddie gang/committee wonho was the first member~!!
not to mention he was one of, if not the first idol to mention wonho again......he a real one

here's some of fancams of his that have +1M views~

a laugh compilation, bc he laughs like a little kid does and it's very cute
this is an old video, but here's wonho briefly speaking english. since becoming a soloist, he's mentioned studying english a lot and he's improved so much in the past few months
he's studying japanese as well and seems to like it when wenee study korean. he says he studies so much because he wants to feel the sincerity of international wenee
a thread of some of his best fits https://twitter.com/wonhosANG/status/1220357156337344514?s=20
wonho's very good with animals and kids ♡
a therapist once told him that he worked will with kids because helping others made him happy and his gentleness with them is also how he wants to be treated by others
not to make this thread too sad but i felt this was an important moment to add. he tries his best to work hard not only for himself, but the people he loves. post-debut he was eventually able to buy his mom a nice apartment and goes out w/ her often ♡
anyways back to fun stuff. mx did a skit where they were acting as old women from a small town and wonho's character was a young newly-wed named wonhee!! he was actually great at the role, and it easily became a fan favorite
literally the loml but let's move on
here's a recent mini-cover he posted on fc of the song "changes" by @lauvsongs
also, another fun fact: wonho doesn't drink. he just gets soda or something when he's at events/dinners with alcohol
here's some of my favorite wenee fan accounts that do updates, translations, projects, and protect wonho. there's also ones specific to different countries so look for those if you're interested:
@WONHOfanship
@wonhourly
@mytomorrow_WH
@daily_wonho
@protect_wh0301
@ShieldWonho
there's a million moments that i could add of his talent and extremely lovable personality but i think i'll stop here. he's just a very wonderful person who loves wenee a lot ♡

if you have questions or want more info let me know!!
