Seungmin is a huge baseball fan and on March 18, 2024, he was chosen as the first pitch for a special game between Team Korea and the LA Dodgers as part of the MLB World Tour Seoul Series 2024 with Coupang Play.
Seungmin is a fashion icon and in November 2023, he appeared on the special cover of Nylon Japan, in collaboration with Coach for their holiday campaign in Japan.

In 2025, he became the Global ambassador for Burberry, reflecting his elegant, “jade-like” image, a nod to his purity and refined aura in Korean culture.
Seungmin is a very kind soul, and caring idol. He was the first to aid a fan who fainted at a concert, earning him a lot of love from fans. Stray Kids are known as the "Donation Idols" for the members' various charity donations. In 2021 Seungmin and Stray Kids participated in JYP Entertainment's "Every Dream Matters!"

Seungmin, being a virgo, is the kind of artist who makes you notice the details, like his warm, distinctive voice that can feel gentle one moment and powerful the next. He built a whole world around his main-vocal role in Stray Kids, from loved OSTs to SKZ-RECORD covers, to being the only member with official songs written for him by all three of 3RACHA. Offstage he’s a baseball fan who actually threw a strike at an MLB Seoul game, a Burberry ambassador who wears the brand like it was waiting for him, and someone who quietly gives back on his birthday and stands with the group when people need help. What makes him special is that mix of sincerity, craft, and care, a voice that feels like a home, and a person who has remained the same despite his huge success!
