Henry picked as one of the top 'reversal stars' for his talents and brains behind his silly image

Super Junior M's Henry has been ranked as the 6th 'reversal star' by tvN's 'Myeongdan Gong-gae' ('Revealing of Names'), meaning that he is someone who is actually very different from what you might expect when you first see them.

The show pointed out that despite his silly image, Henry is actually quite academic, listing three main points. First was his fluency in six languages! Henry was born and raised in Canada where he learned English and French. He also learned Mandarin and Cantonese from his Hong Kong father and Taiwanese mother, and also picked up Thai while filming for the movie 'Final Recipe' and learned Japanese thanks to Super Junior M's overseas activities.

The second point was his amazing talent on the violin and piano! The show showed a clip of Henry explaining, "To be honest, I didn't play much when I was a kid. Kids went out and played with their friends, but I stayed home. Everyday I practiced for five (or more) hours. I practiced the violin for 3 1/2 hours and the piano for 3 hours." 

And the final point was that he attended Berklee College of Music, a renowned music school in the U.S. Although avid fans might already know this, the public was surprised to hear of his schooling background. He had explained once on a past episode of Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook, "I really wanted to do music. I said I wanted to go on stage and do the music I love. SM said okay, we'll give you 6 months, you can do whatever you want to do. So I applied to and attended Berklee."
