Fun Facts
He likes to wear casual/comfortable clothes and ripped jeans
One of his favorite tyger songs is <to the future>
He came up with his own stage name by combining his dad's last name Lin and his mom's last name Mo, although the company later changed the Mo to a different character
He is very filial and calls his mom every night, if there's no time then he texts her instead
He is slow to warm up to new people but he is mischievous once he does
He said he is a bit shorter than his official height of 180cm but his legs measure 104cm to his ankles, he usually doesn't like to wear insoles either
His eyes get irritated easily so he usually brings around eye drops but he often ends up rubbing his eyes if he doesn't have eye drops
He has a habit of covering his mouth when he laughs
His go-to pose for pictures is to make peace signs
He uses a lot of hairspray whenever he does his hair and even brought hairspray around with him during <We Are Young>
He said gaming is a method of stress relief for him
He was in the school basketball team
He once balanced 8 pieces of mechanical pencil lead on his eyelashes during an interview
His hometown Beihai (literally "north sea") is a seaside town and has a beach named Beihai Silver Beach which is rated a 4A national tourist attraction in China; this beach is often his answer when he is asked to recommend a travel destination
Even though he was born in a seaside town he doesn't know how to swim
When asked what he would want to do if he wasn’t an idol, his old answer was to open an internet cafe. His most recent answer was to start a fashion line
He never received professional dance training prior to joining Star Master, he learned to dance on his own before which is why he’s not good at free styling dances
The first time he wanted to become an idol was when he performed at a school arts event when he was in year 3 of middle school
He repeated senior year of high school in order to get into Guangxi Arts Institute, a college ranked highly for the arts in China, to pursue his dream
The artist he respects, looks up to, and also inspired him to become an idol is Show Lo
He is really good at fine tuning dances to be in sync and is in charge of doing so for Tyger and often for the teams he is part of in survival shows
The mistake he would hate to make the most onstage is forgetting movements or lyrics
He said he’d want to play the role of a super hero if he were to act in a drama, but he would also want to try everything
His motto is "just do it"
One of his favorite quotes is "it's not that a person who is truly strong doesn't have tears, it's that they still keep running even with tears in their eyes"
He also said he's a typical Scorpio in the sense that if you treat him well, he'll remember it well, but if you treat him badly, he will remember it well too
Notes
Lin Mua: he came up with this himself and said it was inspired by people saying he has a habit of pouting when he speaks; in 2019 he introduced himself by adding one more "mua" to his name everytime he went onstage
Zuzu: this started when Wu Chengze called him a pig (zhu) endearingly during a QCYN clip, lin mo also started saying it after so fans picked it up as well; zu is a (cute) mispronunciation of "zhu" from Lin Mo's pronunciation due to his accent
Momoko: A nickname fans gave him from his nickname Momo, which means peach in Japanese; this is why he is also associated with peaches
Accent: His dialect differs from standard Mandarin by quite a bit and is actually closer to Cantonese, so he often mispronounces some words and cfans find it very cute. This is why fans often ask him to read tongue twisters as well
Zoo of stuffed animals: fans often gift him stuffed animals so he jokes that has enough of them to make a zoo; he also once said that he has hold onto a stuffed animal when he sleeps or else he wouldn’t be able to fall asleep
Walking with eyes closed/walking into trees: he is nearsighted and squints when he isn't wearing glasses or contacts; this plus him looking perpetually sleepy offstage and some early QCYN fansite photos where he looked like he was walking with his eyes closed made fans start saying "don't walk with your eyes closed" and "don't walk into trees"
