Hangyul (IM) – ESTP

Cognitive Functional Stack:  Se Ti Fe Ni

Hangyul is a great dude, who is all about living in the present.  He makes the most of every performance and latches on to the positive things about each moment (Se).  He has a go-with-the-flow attitude, trusting that with hard work and practise, things will work out in the end, even when he is injured.  He stays pretty chill most of the time in spite of being in an intense competition (Se-Ti) and just enjoys all the performances without worrying what other people’s performances mean for himself.  This can be seen when he is regularly used as the facial reaction to his fellow competitors’ performances, and for instance, the way he grooved along to the Kingsman/That’s what I like team’s dance performance behind the scenes even though they were direct rivals.   He takes events at face value (Se) but can interpret them negatively later (inferior Ni) like when he later worries about not being able to give a good performance of All Day due to his leg injury.

He doesn’t waste words and is a direct talker – also a direct squabbler if he is with Dongmyeong! However he can be charming, understanding, and persuasive if he needs/wants to be (Ti-Fe).  He is a bit of a lad with other people and is willing to mess around a bit but in a straightforward kind of way, like with hand clapping games, rather than anything particularly “out there”.  He doesn’t really place an emphasis on noticing his team’s emotions but is there for anyone if they make it clear they need him.

He’s confident in his looks without being boastful;  when his team declare themselves the “Handsome boys” he accepts it automatically (Se-Ti). A funny moment is when he’s asked to do sit-ups but then proceeds to show his 8-pack instead, showing that he is direct and sees that there’s no point in work without purpose.  He’s image-conscious, but logical about it (Se-Ti).

Emotionally he can be straightforward and blunt or to the point with no added frills or “what ifs”. The best example of this is when he is talking about how his birth parents abandoned him.  He states it as a clear story without coloured elaboration (Se) and then says, “they must have had a reason to abandon me,” very simply, showing that he has given his birth parents the benefit of the doubt that they weren’t acting maliciously (Fe) and his Ti internally coming to this logical conclusion without needing to ask any further questions.  He doesn’t turn it into a sob story about ~how dreadful his life was~ (which would be Fi) but just states the facts with a little dose of empathetic understanding.  Although he says, “I always wondered why I was abandoned”, he doesn’t take the Ne-route into delving into the possibilities of “why” and makes it clear that that wondering was in the past.  He’s moved on now.  His Se ensures that he doesn’t colour/romanticise the past into something that it really wasn’t.

Nonetheless, he’s very grateful to his adoptive parents, who have since provided him with a lot, and therefore has drive to do well in this competition to “pay them back” for their hard work: “I need to work hard to pay back all the people who took care of me until now.  I’m going to make sure I do that.”  Very straightforward.  He has a desire to be liked and appreciated by others.  Compliments make him bashful – he’s not overly sure how to handle his emotional responses at that point.

He’s a go-getter who’s done very well in this competition.  He enjoys life to the full and is a pleasure to watch on stage, where he has been known to transform into a “beast”.  Good luck Hangyul, the ESTP!

INTP and ISTP are talking about the extracurricular activities that they used to do during their school years.

INTP: I think I joined all possible kinds of sports until my parents gave up and realised that I wasn’t meant for any of them.

ISTP: But that’s so cool. My parents, on the other hand, made me attend more math classes. 

INTP: I only had extra maths once in order to prepare for the mathematical Olympiads.

ISTP: Ah, yeah. I won.

INTP: YOU WON THE MATHEMATICAL OLYMPIADS?

ISTP: Yes. 

INTP: Like the national ones??!

ISTP: Yes. 

INTP: BUT YOU’RE A FREAKING GENIOUS.
