Jinyoung is GOT7's intellectual prince — thoughtful, precise, and quietly sophisticated. He is an avid reader who often recommends books to fans, a sensitive actor who loses himself in characters, and a perfectionist vocalist who takes his craft seriously. He shares the deep JJProject friendship with JB that dates back to before their debut.
