FYI on Nichkhun

• “Nichkhun”, pronouncing Nich-Cha-Khun, was named by his mother. Its meaning is “The person who has virtue as a living place” (Having virtue in his heart keeps away darkness and leads to succeed.)
• The reason Korean calls him “Nik-Khun” is that a JYPE staff read his English name (Nichkhun) and wrote down in Korean like that.
• He can read and write Thai as a normal Thai
• When Nichkhun was very young, he was on stage with his brother singing Bird Thongchai’s “MorkRueKwan (Flog or Smoke)”; however, he was too shy so he just stood and let his brother sing alone.
• He learnt to play piano since 5 years old but he did not like it at that time because he was forced to learn it but one day he listened to Yurima’s Kiss the Rain, he wanted to play piano again
• He always got “Healthy Teeth” from his school when he was young.
• He got 2 gold medals as from doubles and mixed doubles (with Yanin) in Bangkok’s badminton championship, 2000.
• The first time he learnt Japanese is when he studied in New Zealand.
• The concert that JYPE staffs met Nichkhun in the US is G.O.D’s.
• The coffee shop nearby his house that Nichkhun was auditioned is Starbucks and he sang Old Town’s “All or Nothing” on the Audition.
• In 2007, he was a MC with Taecyeon on J’s Studio, a JYPE program on its website telling news and updates on JYPE’s artists. The program was cancelled after the 2^nd episode.
• He was taken out from Ya Shim Man Man 2 because he was not fluent in Korean at that time; however, he gained popularity from his talent in Star King.
• In April 2009, he went back to Thailand to join the military’s recruitment at Komutputtarungsi Temple. Even though there are many volunteers and it’s full on the quota, the military asked Nichkhun to take the card (black or red) from a black box without telling anything to him. Nichkhun got the red card meaning “join the army”. However, he wasn’t required to join the army because the quota is full. The military just wanted to show the process of recruitment.
• In December 2009, he was confirmed to take a role in “The Shining Diploma” but the filming was postponed so that it conflicted with his schedule and he dropped out in March, 2010.
• He cries three times in public since he moves to Korea. First is in Hot Blood Guys. Second is in Star King. Third is in Encore Concert, 2010.
• He gets his nickname, Tae-Gook-Wang-Ja, from Korean. It means “Prince of Thailand”
• He usually wears wristband “We love the King”
