Fun facts

He can speak English fluently. He’s the member with the best English in MONSTA X.

I.M joined with other trainees in No.Mercy – Mission 4. (When he was announced as a new trainee the other members weren’t too happy about this decision.)

I.M said that he was more nervous when he performed "Mirotic"by TVXQ than he was in the finale of No.Mercy.

Purple is his preferred colour.

He confessed that at first, he had a hard time being an object of public attention. He even said that he felt strange seeing his face everywhere as he did not like his own face.

His motto is “A good thing is a good thing, so when we look classy and sharp we get confidence from that”

He was the 6th trainee announced as a member of MONSTA X (after survival TV show “No Mercy”).

He shares a moisturizer with Kihyun and keeps it in a fridge.

He prefers outside more than being inside.

I.M lived for 3 years in Boston and in Israel for 4 years.
