It was revealed that the YouTube channel PD of group Risen One is a Yonsei University graduate.

On the 7th, the YouTube channel 'Mimiminu' uploaded a video titled "'Hello, this is PD Nimu. Please take care of me.' Yonsei University graduate PD Yoon Sung-won."

Mimiminu introduced guest PD Yoon Sung-won, saying, "The person who designed the currently trending YouTube channel 'Hello, I'm One. Please take care of me' is today's main character."

PD Yoon recalled his school days. He said, "In elementary school, I was normally cheerful, but after transferring once, I became timid. In middle school, there were bullies, and seeing that rough world made me stay quiet. By high school, I had developed my own identity."

He explained, "Around the third year of middle school, I reached my current height and formed my identity. At that time, I thought I was quite a good person. I was also popular. Back then, being tall meant getting Pepero bars."

PD Yoon revealed that he was not initially interested in academics. He said, "I just did things normally. I didn't attend cram schools or anything like that. Actually, I didn't care much about my grades until the second year of high school. On a mock exam out of 500 points, I scored around 250."

He continued, "I started studying because I wanted to extend my shield. To extend the shield, I thought, 'In Korea, only good schools matter.' I simply thought, 'If you don't study, what else will you do?' By September of his third year of high school, he scored over 480 points on a mock exam. He even ate bread while sitting on the toilet in the study room because he didn't want to waste time eating."

However, PD Yoon admitted that he tasted defeat in his first CSAT (College Scholastic Ability Test). He said, "When the CSAT came, I thought, 'What do I actually know?' It felt like I had solved all the problems, but when the language test paper appeared, my hands started shaking." He added, "I expected a top grade, but in language I got a third grade. Math went well, but I messed up English."

As a result, PD Yoon Sung-won decided to repeat his senior year and enrolled in a Gangnam cram school. Reflecting on that period, he said, "From then on, I started living completely isolated. I didn't make any friends."

The repetition was successful. He reported achieving good results on the second CSAT. He said, "The cram school even suggested applying to Seoul National University. But I thought if I went there, I'd have to study again. After a year of just studying, I didn't want to study anymore." He added, "Suddenly, Yonsei University's early admission slot for CSAT top graders opened up, so I applied without even consulting anyone and got in."

When asked why he didn't apply to Korea University, PD Yoon replied, "Don't you get that kind of feeling? At that time, students at Korea University didn't seem cool."
