Offstage, K-Pop idols have many hobbies that they like to invest their free time in. There are artistic idols who like to do activities like painting or photography. There are also idols who love to work out and sweat in the gym. Then there are those who love to play video games late into the night.
Golden Child’s Donghyun falls into the third category, but more especially for the KartRider game. Many fans have known of his intense love for the game since he was a little boy. The idol even expressed the desire to record a KartRider ad at some point in his career.
Although he is busy as an idol, there are several instances where Donghyun has managed to show his love for the game.
One of the first places Donghyun was able to show his love for KartRider was through Golden Child’s official YouTube channel! He showed off his skills against another member Seungmin. It’s probably no surprise that Donghyun ended up winning every round, proving that all his years of playing paid off! You can totally see the determination in Donghyun’s eyes during the game.
