He dreamed of becoming a soccer player but when he saw the child actor Yoo Seung Ho in the movie “The Way Home” when he was in 4th grade, he became interested in acting. As Niel’s mother supported his son who wanted to be an actor, he was able to attend an acting school. In 5th grade he passed a great audition and started in the drama “Children’s Chorus”, that’s how he got to be in a movie in his acting activities. While doing his activities as a child actor, he heard by chance the song “Ben” by Michael Jackson and Niel changed his dream.
