Asahi has a so-called unexpected charm. He claims to be in charge of charms and facial expressions which he made time to train himself.

Asahi is a quirky oddball of the group, as he has a very introverted personality and an endlessly surprising spurt of humour and jokes. These qualities were characterized through his LINE TRUZ IP character, a robot named Hi-kun. Asahi is a soft boy, he is very gentle with his gestures, his demeanour, his talks, all of which complement his soft-looking facial features.

Asahi's MBTI is an INFP-A. Introvert - Intuitive - Feeling and Perception. His emoticon is 🤖.

Nicknames: Sahi, JoKwang (from Jihoon), Hi-kun, Robot, Flawless Looks (fans survey).

↫Quotes

“Good attitude, good mood, good music” - Asahi

↫Anecdote

- He is the type who gives T.M.I (too much information) without knowing, inexplicably saying there wasn't hot water in the tap the morning he showered.

- He always goes to the back or the corner of the room as he can get weary of social gatherings. Junkyu, his groupmate also does the same, they both scored high in the introvert personality test.

- He doesn't like tomatoes but he asked a young girl child to try it in a Treasure map Season 2 episode.

- He told fans in J-line (Yoshi, Mashiho, Haruto and him) vlive he would like to have long hair, as long as Disney Rapunzel's.

- He is one of the lightest (weighs the least) TREASURE members, members joke his weight to be 20 kilograms, since he is lifted so easily. He got manhandled by members a lot, they almost treat him like a play doll.

- Asahi said he wanted to model for a Japanese beer brand name registered the same as his. The members turned into a laughing mess in that interview. And a short while later, in their T-map web drama, 'It's ok, it's friendship', he played the son of a beer company 😄🎉, he was one step closer to his wish ㅋㅋㅋㅋ.
