Nam dohyon is 16 years old in koreans age system. But since he was born on 10th november, until 9th november he's stil a middle schooll student who's 14 years old. In produce, it was revealed that he's a normal middle school student.

When in the program, the trainee released a short video for fanservice through social platform 'TikTok'. Nam dohyon created a buzz by saying that he want to eat pork ribs with honest feeling. Upon watching this, fans react by saying that they will buy him pork ribs.

The video is supposed to be a fan service where people act like it was a dating simulation but what we can see is a normal friendly boy rather than a participant in a survival program and sharing what he wants to eat.

In addition, Nam Dohyon's eating spree is well known through witness accounts spotted him at a snack bar near his agency, MBK Entertainment. Unlike other participants who were seen at hot/popular streets such as Garosugil and Hongdae during "Produce X101," he has often been seen to school or buying snacks at snack bars and restaurants, and has been recognized by his fans as a regular customer of "다미분식" located in Samseong-dong.

As it became known before he was selected as a member of X1 (before final), he packed snacks at "다미분식", countless fans of Nam dohyon are visiting the snack bar. Even the store's owner is aways asking customers by saying, "Whose fan are you?" and then  fans telling them about the boy who is a regular customer is Nam dohyon.

Nam dohyon who is still growing up is said to have been told that he looks like hamster thanks to his chubby cheeks and features, even his personal fandom name is called '햄찌단: Hamzzidan'. He is 180cm and is called big hamzzi.

Nam Dohyon, who was the youngest participant in the survival program showed his skills in the program, has distinguished himself not only in dancing and singing but also in rapping, writing and composing, to the point where he earned the official nickname "Giant Baby." His hobby has been to play the piano and make songs since childhood, and he has reportedly written hundreds of self-created songs.

Nam Dohyon, who has maintained his rap position and has established himself as the official main rapper of X1 in several performances, is a next-generation hopeful  artist who combines artistic talent and charm as well as the cuteness of a middle school students as mentioned earlier.

Nam Dohyon, who introduced himself as X1 ‘makhyung’ in his first Vlive as a rookie boygroup X1. He express his strong will to be the youngest but like the oldest.

I am curious as how Nam dohyon will established his image as 'makhyung' when he has this uniqueness when expressing his joy by stomping his feet when he's excited, broadening his hand's palm while clapping, shaking his head cutely, and making the sound of dolphin. Attention is being direct toward Nam Dohyon, who is expected to grow through his X1 activities.

*makhyung: maknae+hyung, maknae(youngest) who is like a hyung(older brother)
