[T/N:  He was 17 Korean years old, or 16 International years old at the time of writing.]
My nickname is Casper...~  My pale face and the fact I like to hide and pull pranks with and on my hyungs is why they said I really resembled the comic book character from "Casper the Friendly Ghost!!
In the future I will clearly show you all a keen and cute image like that!
Please keep an eye out for me~ *

Full Name:  이제노 [Lee Jeno]
Birthday:  April 23, 2000
Age:  14

SMROOKIES.com Greeting:

안녕하세요! 제노입니다!

저는 슈퍼카 매니아에요~ 

특히 차체 디자인에 관심이 많이 혼자서 자동차도 그려보고 프라모델도 만듭니다. SM에 들어와 슈퍼카보다 춤과 노래에 관심이 쏠려 있지만 아직 저의 마음속 한구석에는 슈퍼카에 대한 사랑이 자리잡고 있어요. 슈퍼카는 다른 차들보다 색다른 디자인과 좋은 성능으로 묘한 매력을 가지고 있는 것 같습니다. 

저도 슈퍼카처럼 항상 색다르고 좋은 실력이라는 성능을 가진 사람이 되겠습니다.

감사합니다!!


Hello!  I'm Jeno!
I am a huge fans of sports cars~
[T/N: literally, Super Cars]
Because I have a lot of interest especially in the chassis design, I paint cars and make toy models.  [T/N: slang for "plastic model" --> toy models]  When I am at SM, I am more interested in dancing and singing, but I still have a special place in my heart for sports cars.  Sports cars, more than any other kind, seem to have the allure by the means of unconventional design and good performance.
I, too, will become a person who have a performance like a sports car that people say has skills that are good and are always different.  Thank you!

제가 처음 SMROOKIES부스에 갔었던날 저는 깜짝 놀랬어요.

정말 감사합니다.
앞으로도 열심히 노력하는 SMROOKIES!

Hello.
I'm SMROOKIE(')S JENO). ^^
Today was the first day that I went to the SMROOKIES booth and I was really surprised.
The notes covered in everyone's love and all the stickers were like a flower garden.
When I came to understand when they say we were receiving a lot of love like this, I was extremely grateful and also blown away.
Thank you very much.
SMROOKIES are putting forth a lot of effort!
Please give us a lot of love!
