In his free time, Dong-on indulges in his love for traveling by planning out exciting itineraries. When he's not working, he can be found spending time with friends who have introduced him to various activities such as board games, trout fishing, and taking exams.

He is also a connoisseur of New Zealand wines and to balance out his indulgences, he has taken up running along Quay Street after work. There is talk around the office that he has set his sights on beating the senior partner of the firm in this year's Corporate Challenge, a feat he has yet to achieve in his decade-long tenure at McVeagh Fleming.
