He was simply just following what his other coworkers were doing, however the more important to thing to note is that he was talking to his father, which turns out to be a repeated action for Yeonwoo.

He is also kind-hearted, volunteering his leisure taking care of the elderly at the nursing home and having conversations with them. The only time he shows a desire for something, is because of his love for Karate.

History

Yeonwoo is the son of a high-ranking government official in South Korea, so since young, he was expected to act a certain way.

Ever since he was a child, he was forced to become a "studying doll", having to go to after-school academies and then getting locked in a tiny room to study more. This routine continued up until his second year of high school. When he was young, Yeonwoo found a thing which he enjoyed doing, which was Kyokushin Karate. While his father allowed him to take Karate classes, he didn't like it and wanted his son to not get distracted from studying. He crafted a detailed schedule for each day of the week, counting the activities and hours they would take. Despite not having enough free time with his incredibly cramped schedule, Yeonwoo still found time for Karate and even took hours off his sleep so he could continue practicing it. Yeonwoo's father became familiar with Baek Seongjun, and almost ended up signing a licensing deal with him. This made him come up with the idea of making his son join Seongjun's company so he could monitor him better through NewTube. Yeonwoo gained a following of 1.5 million subscribers because of his good looks, and continued streaming. All of his streams had the same repetitive set up; him studying inside a tiny room. His viewers noted that he would sometimes mute the stream, saying that his father would be there whenever he was stuck on a problem. Yeonwoo was stuck on the same repetitive pattern of having his life monitored by his father and keeping up with his study-obsessed persona, until he had his views challenged by Seong Taehoon, who kept provoking him and questioning the control he had over his life. Yeonwoo had been brainwashed to the point of complete lack of self awareness, not even realizing that none of the things he was doing were for himself, until Taehoon made him realize that. For once, Yeonwoo decided to fight back instead of letting let himself get hit. He puts up a good fight but eventually loses to Taehoon who is more experienced. After this eye-opening experience, he decides to quit NewTube and tells his father that he wants to stop studying and just be a normal person, despite his expected disapproval. Trivia
