[It's Teen Top's lovely Ricky]
At home he's a maknae, since he has an older brother. Ricky has a lot of aegyo because he's been doted on by everyone in the family. The active young Ricky has a pair of round eyes, delicate features, and often attracted attention.
When this michevious little boy went to elementary school, he saw some pretty girls and handsome guys on TV, he had an idea, "After you appear on TV, you will become someone handsome like that! So I want to go on TV too."
Through his Mom's support he went to an acting school, and after a year, appeared in a cameo on SBS's "Land". This was Ricky's first time standing in front of cameras. However, he was a lot more curious than nervous about his first filming. From this day on, whether it was a cameo, or supporting role, he was completely immersed in filming. He also took personal profile pictures and participated in screenings.
When he was in 4th grade, he acted in MBC's "내 친구들의 세상" (My Friend's World) and EBS's "방학생활" (Holiday Life), and accumulated some acting experience.
However, the reason that child star Ricky got a lot of attention, was because of his appearance in Seo Tai Ji's MV "Human Dream". The first time Ricky met Seo Tai Ji at filming, he complimented him, "I saw your audition clip, your acting is really good."
After hearing this, Ricky could barely say anything but, "Thank you", because he was so happy.
After filming ended, Ricky was invited to Seo Tai Ji's concert. He attended the concert with excitement, and noticed that a live concert was so different from filming. Attending the concert gave him a completely different feeling. In a huge venue, with the music sounding, and fans support, Ricky was completely captured by Seo Tai Ji's every action. Since then, he wanted to become a singer and stand on the same stage as Seo Tai Ji.
