about:
- he has composed over 40 songs for ateez
- you know he's about to rap in a song when you hear a laugh before the verse
- he likes reforming clothes
- he is known as the 'dad' of the group (mostly because of him being the second oldest and also the leader)
- he doesn't really like affection
- his name means 'to be the center of the big wide world' (pretty well suited to him, me thinks)
- his nicknames include hong-leader and mini-hong
- he is especially close with seonghwa who inspired hongjoong to write the song 'thank u'
- he is probably the best english speaker in the group and has been learning through shows on netflix like modern family

- he once said that he would like to make an album with atiny
- when writing songs, he never writes anything for himself but rather writes them for the whole group
- hongjoong and mingi often participate in writing the lyrics to their songs
- he is lowkey an activist. a prime example is his participation in the polished man project, which is a campaign to help end violence against children. a way to express one's support for the campaign, men paint their fingers with nail polish.
