okay so seungyoon isn't even my favourite member of winner, but i'm just supremely fond of him? i think a lot of people who aren't winner fans tend to dislike him because he comes off pretentious, and he can rub people the wrong way. but overall, i really don't think that's a huge part of his personality? i mean he's probably pretentious, but the members have openly called him so, but he's genuinely a really good guy. he's really laid back, easy to get along with, and a lot of the people from his superstar k days and castmates from high kick are really fond of him. like he just seems like such a personable guy, really nice. (as an aside, i remember teddie lee (bleh) saying seungyoon was the one who suggested he try out for mydol, which i found super interesting.) tbh most of me definitely thinks he chose yg for the guaranteed exposure + fame over anything else, but i do also believe he knows where he's weak, and so i think he did approach having to train as long as he did as a way to hone is skills
he's really big on fanservice. he does the most of it for the fans, with his over the top aegyo, and his over the top sexy faces, and over the top everything. and i love it because if you see him other times with winner, he doesn't talk as much, and he's more reserved. like winner will be talking and playing a game, and seungyoon will kind of just be listening and smiling. but he's definitely playful when he wants to be! i think there's a part of him that kind of defaults to being like a little brother around some of the members, i mean he's said himself he doesn't act like a leader at all within the dorms, and i remember seunghoon saying that he expected ksy to be arrogant and pretentious, but when he meet him he was just like a younger brother following him around going "hyung~ hyung~". jinwoo's talked about how sometimes him and seungyoon fight (which really surprised me!) because of the weird dynamic where seungyoon is the second youngest but also the leader, and that sometimes he just oversteps things, and jinwoo needs to pull him back and tell him to be nicer. which, as nice as ksy is, i do think he probably has like... a mean streak in him? well not mean, but more like he sometimes he doesn't consider how things will sound if he says them, even though his intentions aren't malicious. i mean he's made some really iffy comments about mino's weight (this is extrapolating but like, ksy's relationship with body image concerns me sometimes. sometimes he says things that make me feel like he's obsessed with being skinny)
he takes his duty as leader SO SERIOUSLY. a lot of people seem to believe he resents being in a group/wants to go solo, but i think he knows pretty well that he wouldn't achieve half the fame he has now as a solo artist. also, he puts in literally 95% of all his time, thoughts, efforts, worries into winners. when they had to draw each other's mind maps everybody was kind of unanimous that seungyoon's entire brain was like winner winner winner winner, and they wished he would stop feeling taking all of the burden. i think throughout win he felt bad that if a disbanded he'd still get to debut solo, and instead of making him lazy, it made him feel like all of them getting through was his responsibility. he's the type of leader imo, that's both considerate of members' strengths and weaknesses, and that's why i think they've all made amends with following him in terms of artistic direction etc. because he considers what each of them can do well. like, it's really no secret that jinwoo is a black hole, but he still gets a fair amount of lines in all of their songs, and it's obvious that ksy really goes out of his way to include bits that jinwoo can sing (to people who think ksy is SO PRETENTIOUS, he's always spoken rly highly of jinwoo despite him being relatively talentless, and imo he's gone out of his way to do the OPPOSITE of making him feel bad for not being musically inclined. honestly #KSYPROTECTIONSQUAD!!!!)
that's all i can think off from the top of my head... lol this turned out to be a FIGHT ME KSY HATERS post over any kind of meta. but as i said he isn't even in my top two of winner, but i'm just so fond of him, and i love him T___T i genuinely think non-winner fans are too harsh on him for being obnoxious or pretentious or whatever, and it doesn't make that much sense to me, because sure he's said things, but it's so minuscule compared to everything else u___u
ksy of winner
