* He can speak five languages: Cantonese, Mandarin, English, Korean, and a little Japanese.
	+ He is called the "language master" or "speaking master" of WayV not just because of his fluency and extensive knowledge, but also because he talks a lot.
	+ He thinks in Cantonese.
	+ He prefers writing in Simplified Chinese because it's faster and simpler.
	+ He says his accent when speaking Mandarin was influenced by Renjun.
	+ He uses a pinyin keyboard when typing in Chinese. He recommends pinyin, specifically typing letter by letter, to aid in learning Mandarin.
* In the new dormitory, he has his own room, but shares the unit with WinWin, Lucas, and Xiaojun. He can't share a place with Leon because he's allergic to cat's fur.
* In the old dormitory, he shared a room with Ten. Their room is the biggest in the WayV dormitory.
* During his trainee days, he shared a dormitory with Kun, Lucas, and YangYang.
* His actual English name is Hendery: it's not a stage name created by SM Entertainment. It's the name on his passport.
* Chinese fans call him Huang Guatang (Chinese: 黄瓜汤), because his pronunciation of his name sounded like that in his Rookies introduction video.
* A nickname which both the WayV members and the fans use for him is Wang Guanxiang (Chinese: 王冠享), which sprouted from two separate events involving Lucas.

	+ When they were trainees, Lucas thought his last name was Wang (王), since Wong in Cantonese can be both Wang (王) and 黃 (Huang) in Mandarin.
	+ Later on, during 少年威计划 (Dream Plan), Lucas misspells his full name as 黃冠享 (Huang Guanxiang) instead of 黃冠亨 (Huang Guanheng).
* WinWin, during a WayV-ehind, thinks Hendery's full name is Wong Hendery Kuanghiong.
* He is good at playing basketball.
* Among the WayV members, he's popular for his "meme dances", and it can be said that he is a master of pelvic bounce and waist bounce.
* He does not talk much in public appearances, but in private, he is the most talkative member of WayV.
* He has the lowest pitch among the WayV members, though he laughs like a dolphin.
* He's Ten's personal photographer.
* Among the WayV members, he is the one who gets scared the most, but he tries to act strong and cool.
* Because there are three members in NCT with the surname Huang, they call each other 大黃 (Da Huang; Lucas), 中黃 (Zhong Huang; **Hendery**), and 小黃 (Xiao Huang; Renjun).
* From V Live and Yizhibo content:
	+ He is learning boxing.
	+ His and WinWin's gift for Ten's birthday in 2019 was a chair for their new desk in Hendery and Ten's shared room.
	+ One way to fluster Lucas is to have Hendery act as his girlfriend.
	+ Hendery talks too much, that in fact, even YangYang got tired of listening to him and put on headphones while they were on the way home because Hendery wouldn't stop talking.
	+ He says the reason his skin is nice is thanks to his parents, who took care of him and taught him how to prevent pimples. They also taught him to control his diet.
	+ His first impression of Jisung was that the younger was cute and quiet. Instead of climbing every step of the staircase, Jisung would always skip of 2 or 3 steps by jumping.
	+ His first impression of Sungchan was that he talks a lot but his voice is quiet, as if the younger was only talking to himself. When Sungchan first met Hendery, the latter was practicing rap.
	+ His first impression of Jungwoo was that he was the life of the party. There were many of them at the practice room, and when the music started, Jungwoo would always go to the center and dance. On the other hand, Jungwoo's first impression of Hendery was that he gave them a lot of energy and that he looked like the Donkey from *Shrek*.
* From WayV's HUYA livestreams:
	+ His first impression of Kun was that he was a smiley person.
	+ Prior to getting to know Ten, Hendery thought that the older was nice because Ten never ignored hellos and would always smile back or return a hello back politely.
	+ When he first met WinWin, the older took initiative in shaking hands and introducing himself, so Hendery thought he was a man of dominance.
	+ He thought Lucas was someone who maximizes his time to take breaks and rest, especially since their schedule is very full.
	+ His first impression of Xiaojun was that he was strong and muscular. During pre-debut, Xiaojun would walk around confidently wearing short-sleeved hoodies.
	+ According to Hendery, YangYang didn't talk to the other members much at first, even when they were living in the same dorm. He became comfortable with the others once Lucas regularly started conversations with him.
