‘Wonwoo’s Family’
Wonwoo is originally from Uichang-gu. It is where he was born. He is the older brother in his family which until yesterday had four members. His brother, who is two years younger than Wonwoo, used to be a fashion model. His name is Jeon Bohyuk. This just goes on to establish the fact that good looks run in the family.
His name ‘Jeon Won Woo’ means always helping and taking care of others. Despite the introverted, and shy person that Wonwoo is, he never fails to impress the people around him. S.Coups once said that Wonwoo takes a lot after his father. When Wonwoo decided to become an idol, his family was very supportive and gave him motivation.
‘Joshua and Wonwoo’ Family
‘SEVENTEEN’s Joshua’, Wonwoo’s fellow group member, has mentioned on several occasions that he was very thankful to Wonwoo’s family. He has said that he felt grateful to them because they helped him get over the homesickness he felt after he left his family back in America to train in Korea. Joshua used to feel lonely easily and missed his family extensively. Wonwoo’s family gave him much-needed support.
According to him, Wonwoo’s family members were very connected to each other. He even mentioned that Wonwoo’s mother and Joshua’s were very close and the distance between the two mothers made them even better friends. We are sure, that now that Wonwoo’s mother is no longer in this world, Joshua must be really sad. Since all the ‘SEVENTEEN members’ are so close to each other, they must be feeling really bad for their close friend.
‘Wonwoo was COVID positive’
On 12th February 2022, news had confirmed that he was COVID positive. On 11th February, he had developed flu-like symptoms. This made him use a self-test kit and later take a PCR test. He did not exhibit any serious symptoms. He did have a mild fever though. Fans were worried about the health of Wonwoo, who had previously had other health issues. Wonwoo has himself mentioned that he thinks that he has weak stamina and was trying to build strength and stamina through exercise.
It hadn’t been long since we received bad news concerning Wonwoo’s health. Who would’ve thought that we’ll be hit by such heart-breaking news about the death of his mother? We send our deepest condolences to Wonwoo and his family members for their loss. May her soul rest in peace.
