2. He’s an avid rock climber
Sang Heon has two Instagram accounts, one of which is entirely dedicated to his love of rock climbing.
Rock climbing is undeniably one of his greatest passions in life.
3. He has some similarities to Min Ho
Sang Heon surprised his cast mates with his similarities to Min Ho. Just like how Min Ho is often worried about his appearance and focused on his expensive skincare…
According to Anna Cathcart, when Sang Heon visited her, one of his first questions was if she had a hair dryer.
The moment I met [Sang Heon], I was like ‘You’re actually Min Ho.‘ It was so funny.
He came to visit me in Vancouver recently and when he was at my apartment, he was like, ‘Do you have a hair dryer. You better have a hair dryer. I cannot believe anybody doesn’t have a hair dryer.‘
โ Anna Cathcart
Which felt eerily similar to a question Min Ho might have asked Kitty.
And I was like, ‘Everything that just happened is literally Min Ho.‘

4. He has a set skincare routine
Speaking of Sang Heon’s similarities to Min Ho, Sang Heon has a specific skincare routine.
Which even his sister knew about.
His four-step routine is “Toner, essence water, and then moisturizing cream, and then sunscreen.”
5. He’s a romantic
In one of the cast’s many interviews, Gia admitted that all of the cast are romantics.
I think we’re all pretty romantic people. I think, right? We love love.
โ Gia Kim
And this certainly includes Sang Heon, who selected a romance novel as the type of book he’s most likely to read…
“Old Hollywood” as the theme of a costume party he’d want to attend…
And when Anna Cathcart admitted she hadn’t seen the romantic comedies included in the test they were taking, Sang Heon voiced his surprise.
6. He’s a big Min Ho and Kitty supporter
Sang Heon continually voices his support for Min Ho and Kitty’s developing relationship.ย Fans jokingly suspect he may be an even bigger shipper than them.
