« fun facts ! »
𝄞 he was born in south carolina, but after his parents divorce when he was thirteen, he moved to daegu, south korea with his mother. mother and child moved again after he was accepted into clockwork creative at fifteen.
𝄞 despite having chinese roots, he has never once set foot in his mother’s homeland. he hopes to one day visit with his members, but has not yet had the opportunity to do so. he enjoys learning more about his culture through leishen.
𝄞 eli is the most vocal when it comes to expressing hope for a world tour. he wants the opportunity to perform live for every one of their fans, no matter where that might be.
𝄞 he’s known as one of the more reserved members. despite that, he often logs into the company’s twitter—simultaneously refusing to make his own at the current venture—and discussing shows on popular streaming services such as netflix and hulu. he likes to get recommendations of things to watch from ciphers, and leaves some of his own. when he’s not discussing his interests, he leaves very vague posts on social media, even on the accounts of other members, as a way to mess with fans before spoilers are dropped by the maknae line.
𝄞 eli has two cats; a british short-hair named whiskers, and a siberian cat named daisy, both of whom were named by fans in a live featuring jin and kiha.
