Wooyoung began training under BigHit Entertainment around 2014, where he met future bandmate Yeosang. Prior to 2017, Yeosang left BigHit and joined KQ Entertainment. Wooyoung later followed, citing their friendship as a key reason for his decision to leave BigHit and train under KQ instead.[1][3]

On January 3, 2023, Wooyoung appeared in the first episode of Watcha's Fill in the Blank documentary which explores the "real" side of K-pop artists based on a hypothetical psychological theory that the highly materialized lives of modern people can be explained with nine objects in any case.[8]
