for jeonghan, i’ve answered a couple of asks today about him which you most likely saw. you can check them, but this one is the “main” ask that focus on his love lang. in general lines, again, jeonghan’s love lang has to do with adapting to others. to being prob one of the most observant people i have ever seen and using that to develop his dynamics. when it comes to how i perceive his personality in general, it kinda goes with this observant line + him being very fucking private. we do have glimpses of how he is if you’re able to separate his dynamics from him alone. @bbugyu also just answered an ask about his mbti and him in general here so it’s also worth the read. generally speaking, he is observant, flexible, a planner. not necessarily introverted by the definition we’re used to as he can be extroverted as well. but for this jeongcheol thingy, i’ll focus mostly on his love lang which i will not get too deep into once again bc i seriously need to stop talking about this and how he adapts to others.

when it comes to cheol, it’s kinda like mingyu. what you see is what you get. there’s not this crazy built idol persona like jeonghan. and we also need to talk about him being the leader. this curiouscat by my meta queen hwa talks a bit about how the way cheol was raised influences on his leadership style + his personality. bc if we look at it, when we think of a kpop leader, cheol’s style is not the first thing that comes to mind. i think he’s more of idk an impulsive force? than those lead by example style. he is a leader but he sometimes acts like a fucking maknae. he mentioned i think in htr? that he gains strength from others. he is full of aegyo and he is spoiled. actually his htr is a great glimpse of who i think cheol is. his heart is literally ginormous and it shows. but i feel like being a leader sometimes is hard to manage with all this emotional + somewhat childish side he has. 

and this is where fucking yoon jeonghan and his fucking absurd and immaculate love lang comes. 

jeonghan sees that. and he acts on it. and i don’t think the role he plays for cheol has a lot to do with him being the second oldest. it’s more about how he adapts to others. as he’s an observant creature, he clearly sees where cheol lacks. and he’s also a very good mediator by nature (telling booseok to stop arguing and take a selca like hello????). jeonghan clearly helps cheol with leading svt. and he doesn’t do it to idk steal cheol’s spot or for the spotlight. like pretty much everything we see from him, it’s about others. i seriously believe jeonghan is kinda like the glue that keeps seventeen together. i love seungcheol to death and i’m literally him, but i think that he would be somewhat lost without jeonghan. seungcheol has too many emotions and jeonghan doesn’t show his (which is a fucking problem !), so i think this makes cheol comfortable enough to share some of the leadership burdens with jeonghan. seungcheol said on htr he had to learn how to lead and i’m a firm believer that jeonghan played a big part in his learning process for that. he is the youngest at home and insanely spoiled and then suddenly boom he has to lead 12 people??? and i think this is most likely hard to do when you’re someone as heart driven as him. also i think we might downplay what leadership means in these groups. it’s a big thing. 

i also think that this emotional + maknae side of seungcheol + the fact that he has 11 dongsaengs is part of why jeonghan doesn’t show that much vulnerability in public/cameras. i think he has this sense like he literally can’t afford to do that??? i think seungcheol grew into an amazing leader and i admire who he is a lot. i see myself in him a lot. and it’s really beautiful to see the part jeonghan played in that. 

like jeongcheol is a very very sensitive topic for me because it shows so much growth and it’s probably one of the prettiest representations of jeonghan’s empathetic love lang. it makes me sensitive !! can’t deal !!

i also didn’t proofread this so i might be talking shit who knows
