- Childhood dream was to own a supermarket so he could eat all the cookies he wanted
- Ran away from his home in Gongju to move to Seoul so he could be a singer; dropped out of high school and picked up various odd jobs in order to make rent. It was overall a horrible period in his life and the habits he developed because of it are still with him to this day

- Tore a ligament in his leg while practicing the choreo for Rising Sun in 2005. When given the choice between having a surgery that would heal him immediately but cause him problems in the future or a surgery that would take six months to heal but cause him no problems, his members urged him to choose the latter

- Dotes on his younger sister
- Gives horrible first impressions, as proven by his unpopularity within the fandom during debut days

- Is a workaholic

- His Bigeast ID number is 1
- Bleached his hair platinum blonde in 2006 (Junsu’s idea), and apparently fell in love with the color; he’s dyed his hair various shades of it several times (sometimes in the same year) since then.
Me: Isn’t Jaejoong such a dork? he wanted 3333333333 for his soccer clothes, and I doubted that the widest person in the world could wear that clothes with that much number lol. Truly, the King(s) of Asia (DB5K~~) ALWAYS KEEP THE FAITH!
