He also did the forward rolls, and sang EXO’s “Call Me Baby” as “There are many shiny things in it, so look at Donghan.” He was trained for about a year and a half before joining Produce 101 Season 2.

On the filming set of JBJ’s music video for “Fantasy,” he accidentally set his hair on fire. He has an older brother with a 12-year age gap named Donggeun. His specialties are Hapkido (Korean martial arts), Aikido (Japanese martial arts), and cover dances. He was doing Hapkido for 10 years since he was six. His hobbies are watching movies, doing entertainment, and dramas. Before his debut, Dong-han was quite famous as a member of the Daegu Dance Crew “THE FACE”.

He likes bowling, ping pong, swimming and hapkido, basketball and soccer.
Hardships as a Trainee on Mnet’s Produce 101 Season 2
In the first ranking announcement, Dong-han won 175,170 votes and survived at 37th place. Dong-han was in EXO’s “Call Me Baby” group. Dong-han’s position was sub-vocal 3. Later, when a mentor, Ga-hee, evaluated the group, Dong-han showed off the choreography at the center seat as the recommendation of Ga-hee, and got a review saying, “It’s great that Dong-han is in the center.” After that, by communicating with the team members, the center will be replaced by Kim Dong-han.

I’m going to tell you, and I’m going to write you a letter. I’m putting it up. I ranked 78th at the first ranking ceremony. When I gave up thinking I was going to fail.. Thank you for supporting me day and night. As a result of your interest and love, I came in at 37th. Thank you so much for letting me do the next mission.
