Throughout his years as a trainee, Yunho was put in four temporary groups, all which later disbanded.

Yunho's stage name "U-Know", a nickname he has been using since high school, reflects Yunho's position as the leader, who is always trying to understand others.<ref>{{cite web|title= [피플] 가요계 인기 돌풍의 핵 東方神起|trans-title=TVXQ singers of the popular nuclear blast|url=http://m-talk.inews24.com/php/news_view_mtalk.php?g_menu=380600&g_serial=114236|work=enews24|accessdate=February 11, 2009| date= May 13, 2004|language=ko}}</ref>
