Personal life
Changmo was accepted into Berklee College of Music twice, having applied once when he was 18, and once when he was 19. However, as he could not obtain a scholarship on both occasions, he chose not to attend.[4][5]
Changmo enlisted in the army for his mandatory military enlistment on March 14, 2022,[6] and was discharged on September 13, 2023.[7]
