Seventeen's Vernon talked about his multiracial identity. 


On the April 5 airing of KBS 2TV's 'Happy Together 3', the MCs praised Vernon's outstanding visuals and resemblance to Hollywood actor Leonardo DiCaprio. To this, Vernon said,"I'm happy to be called his look-alike but honestly, the attention is a bit overwhelming."
