#jushing

his infinite amount of passion and relentless enthusiasm!

he’s incredibly humble as well, modest to the point he’ll praise his fellow members while he’s getting praised

he’s been in showbiz scene ever since he was young (starting around 2005!)

he loves animals and he has three cats!

bongshik was his first cat, when he was younger he found her abandoned on his way home

nal and seol were adopted later, even though he has a cat allergy he loves them to bits and overcomes his allergy as best as he can!

his voice is so soft and gentle, though it’s also really deep and he can also be really loud

he has an AMAZING sense of humor and doesn’t deserve being called “boring” or “no jam” at all

he’s more mature than he gets credit for: he’s compassionate and wise that even mark lee, the leader of nct dream who is one year his senior, will confide in him for advice

he’s also way funnier than people make him seem, he comes up with really witty retorts too

he doesn’t stay still! even if it’s the slightest bit of movement, he’s always up to something

also fiddles with other objects, anything he can get his hands on

in most cases they’re items present wherever he is

though there are various cases where he has kept a fidget spinner in his back pocket and he’d just whip it out and start spiNNING

sometimes (read: often) he’ll be doing something to his members, the victim tends to be whoever’s closest

he plays with their ears or tickles their chin, amongst other cute gestures

It’s so cute when he takes selfies or videos with other members! no explanation needed because you’ve probably seen evidence to support this claim

It’s also really cute when he does something wrong or gets called out and he just freezes up with a funny expression on his face

speaking of which, he really is the KING OF FACIAL EXPRESSIONS

he can display such a wide variety of expressions, it’s extremely impressive

and he can change them really quickly too, the way he fluctuates between expressions is almost as cool as it is endearing

sometimes he’ll have a cute smile on his face and it’ll morph into an intense gaze, or vice versa

THERE IS SUNSHINE IN HIS SMILE! It’s absolutely radiant and contagious!

on a side note, his teeth are absolutely perfect?

his cheek moles are also really lovely and it really sucks when they cover it up with makeup

it’s also a huge shame when fansites photoshop their pics of him so you can’t see his acne…

he does have a lot of it which is completely normal, and when he’s given the opportunities he does embrace it! even though he’s this perfect and loveable, he’s also very much human

he really has the most endearing habits in the entire world!! The gestures he does are super cute

like when he rubs his nose with the back of his index finger

or when he’s biting on his index finger? lol

he also tends to touch the lobule of his ears

puffs up his cheeks very cutely

rests his chin on his palms and wiggles his fingers

his salute!! it’s not a “real” salute but he does something like it with two fingers

it’s really adorable when he waves or makes peace signs

notice that when he’s performing or even just saying certain words, he’ll bite his tongue :o or it’ll peek out for a moment

he also bites his bottom lip a lot

and he has a tight lipped smile that he tends to do, it’s especially endearing if he looks in a different direction while he’s doing it

HIS HAPPY DANCE!! there’s a lot of variety to it, like when he’s jumping up and down, or when he’s… doing That (there’s really no way to describe it ngfng)

and when his nose scrunches up… actually, while we’re still on the topic of his nose it’s really distinct and beautiful!!

the expressions or things he does while listening to others! he reacts a lot too!

like when he furrows his brows and/or looks all confused

when that happens and he has creases on his forehead :’)

also sometimes he does that really cringey fake sob ognfdkgndfkjg

it’s really nice when he nods as people are talking to show that he’s following along with what they’re saying

Jeno is extremely attentive in general!! he really gives others his undivided attention

in some cases, like during vlives, he’s looking at his phone instead though. but he’s still being attentive because he’s trying to keep up with comments from fans!

HE’S SO TALENTED!! he’s honestly so impressive

even though sm doesn’t let him do much, he’s still capable of SO MUCH. he’s a vocalist, a rapper, a dancer, and the visual and that’s A LOT

even though he doesn’t get the amount of lines he deserves, the way he delivers them is so captivating

and there’s a reason he gets all those notable points of choreo, as well as hoverboard time in chewing gum!

and why members will say he’s the best at riding hoverboards too because he really is :/

he’s admittedly rather clumsy, but he truly does his best to overcome that especially on stage

please consider his IMPROVEMENT, especially since chewing gum era when he would make various mistakes or slip ups during live performances! he’s come a long way and is constantly improving

also consider his great acting skills, he’s been acting since a young age and he’s still improving as well

he’s really great with skits and reciting scripts, his voice and gestures suit the characters he portrays

he also has various hidden talents, and I’m sure we’ve only gotten mere glimpses of what he has to offer

for example, he’s really good at winking! he can also wink with both eyes

he’s also pretty good at tongue twisters, and he can say them at a fast pace

the thing he does where he lies down flat on the floor and pushes himself back up?? (he did it in the ot18 and 00 line vlives)

he’s excellent at speaking and is very charming while doing so, which makes him a great MC as well

never forget that he represented nct at the smtown conference in dubai!!

he’s been wearing glasses since a young age, apparently has really bad eyesight :’)

used to get called “harry potter” when he was younger, probably because of his round lensed glasses

was very well praised for the powerpoint presentations he would make in computer class

impossibly well rounded as a student, he excels academically, athletically, and musically

in middle school (year 1) jeno placed 2nd during the first exam!

he was a member of track & field and was especially good with relay races, so his class would rank high because of him

he was also a mischievous student though, there was one instance where he put glue on a desk and ran away lol

but to this day he’s still pretty mischievous, you might want to keep an eye on him!

apparently he can play a huge variety of instruments, not just the guitar

his instrument specialty is the violin!

HIS LAUGH IS ARGUABLY ONE OF THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS YOU’LL EVER HAVE THE PLEASURE OF HEARING

even the way he laughs is absolutely divine and genuine and WHOLESOME

he just lets out his laughter unapologetically, often with an eyesmile too!

it can also be super extra when he laughs: sometimes he’ll clap or hit something (in some cases, someone), or he’ll lurch forward or fall backwards… sometimes he even falls to the ground from laughing

he also tends to laugh after answering questions, or while he’s answering the question

horror movie lover, likes to watch them with renjun and has made a horror movie reference lol

anime enthusiast!! he really likes one piece and naruto in particular

he also likes figures, especially putting them together

on a side note, he’s really crafty and creative! when he was younger he liked to build things with toy blocks and he also had an affinity for puzzles

don’t forget nct school dream mate where he made a bento box completely out of clay… it was really well made, of course

he’s liked cars since a very young age and enjoys drawing them, he actually wanted to be a car designer when he was young

but because he wasn’t pleased with his drawing skills he decided to become a singer instead :’o he’s really good at drawing though!

he uses emoticons very cutely :’)

like when he draws a little smiley face that looks like =) beside his name… <3

he also started using TAT because of the fans which is really sweet

suspenders and him don’t go well together… not in a visual aspect, jeno looks good in everything, but every time he wears them they always slide off his shoulders lol

really likes t7s and practices the choreo with jisung (sm let them do a t7s cover!!)

he plays pokemon go on his ipad (no promises, but I think he was on team mystic)

he’s interested in photography and also takes really good pictures!

meme king… never forget the various times he’s dabbed, nae naed, played with a fidget spinner, and brought up ppap

does really cheesy things and does them SHAMELESSLY. but it’s all for us and it’s lovely (yes! even the aegyo!!)

he’s recommended the song “breath” by park hyo shin multiple times, he also listens to it (almost?) every night before he goes to sleep

he’s very considerate and kind hearted! It’s so sweet when he checks in with others or reminds others of things too

that’s a big reason why doyoung really cherishes him, because jeno is really thoughtful of others and also very grateful

his stage presence is no joke. he’s so professional and bold, it’s practically impossible to watch him perform something and not get spell bound…

...but even though he gives every stage his all, jeno still has so much fun while he’s at it and you can tell!

he doesn’t think of his role as an idol as a “job”, but rather something he does where he can have fun with others

it shouldn’t be treated as a “term of endearment” because it negatively affects his self confidence. jeno has always been so humble, and although he appreciates the compliments he gets he doesn’t agree with it and is often in denial. notice how many of his personalized messages to fans involve him stating how he’ll work harder “to become a better jeno”. he’s always striving to be a likeable person and as long as people treat him like he’s not fun, he’ll never be pleased with himself.
