Thanks to Pulp Live World, Yugyeom will return to the Philippines on August 19, 2022 as a solo artist, three years after the renowned sold-out show #GOT7KeepSpinningInMNL.
Let’s take a look at what else you can learn about him ahead of his solo concert on Friday at the New Frontier Theatre.
Yugyeom grew up in Saudi Arabia
In 2016, Yugyeom disclosed in their STAR Interview that he was born in South Korea but spent some time growing up in Saudi Arabia before settling to his hometown due to his father’s job.
Yugyeom said that his mother got pregnant in Saudi Arabia but he was born in Seoul. Then they moved back in Saudi Arabia because of his dad’s job and he grew up there for a while (STAR Interview GOT7) I like how #GOT7 influence their name in every places they grew and born. pic.twitter.com/b9VAV31jgr

Yugyeom is one of Hanlim Multi Art School’s legendary F5
Hanlim Arts High School is one of the best-known schools among K-Pop stars. Because of this, it is not uncommon when well-known artists are associated with one another. The five celebrities who make up Hanlim’s infamous F5—GOT7’s Yugyeom, AB6IX’s Woong, OnlyOneOf’s Yoojung, Pentagon’s KINO, and Cho Seungyoun—particularly captured the attention of netizens.

Yugyeom is a loving furdad
Animals are close to GOT7’s heart. In particular, Yugyeom is a furdad to Dalkyum, a black male Pomeranian, which frequently appears on his lives. Yugyeom even created a special Instagram account for his beloved dog.

Yugyeom is GOT7’s tallest member
Yugyeom is the group’s tallest member despite being the maknae (or youngest) in the group. Because of his height and mature appearance, he has sometimes been misidentified as the oldest.

Yugyeom choreographed “If You Do” with Jinyoung
Along with Jinyoung (another GOT7 member), Yugyeom participated in developing the choreography for their smash track “If You Do.”
Yugyeom is part of the famous ‘97 liner squad
Same-age friendships are a norm in the K-Pop industry. The ’97 Liner Squad, which consists of his bandmate Bambam, BTS’ golden maknae Jungkook, ASTRO’s Cha Eunwoo, NCT’s visual Jaehyun, and SEVENTEEN’s Mingyu, DK, and THE8, is one of, if not the most, well-known friendship groups. When this gang posts, even a simple group selfie sends the internet into a frenzy.
