Just by looking at Yeosang — his handsome features, his ripped physique, and his on-stage charisma and talent — someone unfamiliar with him might have a hard time believing he was ever shy or unconfident.

However, fans of ATEEZ know that Yeosang, despite all of his skills and attractive features, has been one of (if not the) shyest members of the group. He’s an introvert at heart with an ISFJ personality, and there are numerous instances caught on camera of his shy personality on full display.

Over the years that he’s been an idol, though, we’ve seen him grow in his confidence as a performer as well as just a person in the spotlight. While he certainly still has his shy moments, he’s worked hard to become more confident and self-assured, and during a recent live audio, he revealed that he has his members and fans to thank for it.

During the stream, he said that if he hadn’t become a K-Pop idol, he thinks that his shyness would have become even more severe than it used to be, rather than getting better. And he thanks his fans, Yeodoongies, as well as the other members of ATEEZ for helping him to overcome that struggle.

Fan reactions to the audio are filled with pride and happiness for Yeosang, as they should be!

We’re so grateful that Yeosang ended up becoming an idol and a member of ATEEZ, for our enjoyment seeing him perform as well as for his own self-esteem!
