As a male citizen of Thailand, he was subject to the military draft lottery in 2009 and subsequently received an exemption from military service as his home district had met the required quota.<ref>{{cite web |title=[Past And Present] A Prince From Thailand, Nichkhun |url=http://www.bntnews.co.uk/app/news.php?nid=16749 |access-date=December 1, 2016 |website=BNTNews UK}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=아이돌스타, 공익ㆍ병역면제 사유 보니…|url=https://biz.heraldcorp.com/view.php?ud=20120504001090|publisher=[[Herald Corporation]]|date=May 6, 2012|language=ko}}</ref>

An avid sportsman, Nichkhun was previously a competitive badminton player during his schooling years and continues to play amateurly.<ref>{{cite news|title=닉쿤의 동안 비결은 헬스와 배드민턴, "운동 자주해"|url=https://www.hankookilbo.com/News/Read/201903041483384824|work=[[Hankook Ilbo]]|date=March 4, 2019|language=ko}}</ref> His appearances on ''[[Our Neighborhood Arts and Physical Education]]'' in the badminton episodes alongside the likes of retired legends [[Lee Dong-soo]] and [[Ha Tae-kwon]] led [[Yonex|Yonex Korea]] to appoint him as its brand ambassador in 2014, the first non-professional athlete to be chosen.<ref>{{cite news|title=FW 화보 닉쿤 촬영 뒷이야기를 전해드립니다|url=https://www.yonexmall.com/m2/brand/newsView.php?newsDiv=1&subDiv=5&seq=593&qS=newsDiv%3D1%26subDiv%3D5|publisher=Yonex Korea|date=July 28, 2014|language=ko}}</ref><ref>{{cite news|title=요넥스 코리아의 새로운 광고 모델 2PM의 닉쿤 선발|url=http://www.badmintondaily.co.kr/news/articleView.html?idxno=1649|work=Badminton Daily|date=January 23, 2010|language=ko}}</ref><ref name="Donga.Jan2014"/>

On July 24, 2012, Nichkhun was involved in a vehicular collision with a motorcyclist in Gangnam. It was reported that the singer had been [[driving under the influence]] of alcohol when he crashed into a motorcycle. His [[Blood alcohol content|BAC]] measured at 0.056%, thus his license was suspended. Nichkhun personally apologized for the incident, resulting in him taking a hiatus from the entertainment industry.<ref>{{cite web |last=Oh |first=Min-hee |date=2013-05-12 |title= |script-title=ko:'2PM 리턴즈' 닉쿤, "음주운전 사고, 팬들 배신한 기분이었다" 심경고백 |trans-title='2PM Returns' Nichkhun, "Drunk driving accident, I felt like I betrayed the fans" Confession of heart |url=https://news.nate.com/view/20130512n00657 |access-date=2021-12-07 |website=Nate News |language=ko}}</ref>
