probably some mega post that i can read to know more about their personalities on/off screen? not just the usual profiles but maybe the dynamics. did they debut 10 or 11?
hmmm there are a few big metas but tbh i don't really agree with many of them, and they've changed quite a bit from the time the metas were written until now. they debuted 2010! if you're up for some big reading (since you're looking for personalities off/on screen AND dynamics), inpiniteuchaser on lj is a pretty good place to look!
what do you mean by hard? ummm they're touring rn, but they still put out a variety show appearance or interview or two. they just finished chaser promotions, and since woollim is turning its focus to tasty and a new girl group, they probably won't be coming back until mid 2013. a lot of the members seem to be going into dramas though, so that's something to watch! woohyun just finished one and myungsoo is just starting another. i'm not sure what you mean by hard to follow though @_@
lol like are they constantly everywhere because i won't have time to keep track of every single thing they do ;; but yeah. i'm planning on watching hoya's drama first then l's old one before starting on varieties.
they're pretty slow compared to some other groups imo, because they're moving out of rookie era and they won't be promoting for a while. plus the fact that they're all on tour rn means that the stuff they DO put out is pretty sparse. you've got time to catch up :3
just finished listening to it! is sunggyu the leader? he looks a little sassy with the hand gestures and his crossed legs. lol myungsoo looks qt at the back. i want to know basic canons about them? :D like how they are irl + on cam.
yup, sunggyu is the leader! lmao he's really confident and grumpy but he leads well and the boys love him <3 okay i'll just do a quick run through of them for you. this is in age order btw!
sunggyu - leader/lead singer. in sesame player, he was portrayed as the leader with the iron fist and he was basically bossing everyone around to do things. lately his image has been the 'tired, elderly leader' because he says he's really lazy and he could laze around all day. it's true but it's also true he works the boys really hard to achieve the results they have rn so his on screen personality is just an extreme exaggeration of his rl character.
dongwoo - rapper. he's the spazzy, happy one who is basically a ball of sunshine. he's pretty much the same off screen and off but i think he's deeper than he lets on because a lot of times it's really easy just to brush him off as the 'happy one'. really sensitive and the members take advantage of it by making him cry on his birthday and bullying him (good naturedly, of course)
woohyun - main singer. he's the greasy aegyo king and it's been discussed quite deeply that this is a front he keeps. he knows he has flaws and he keeps them in check by trying to be the perfect idol: he can sing really well, he is one of infinite's better dancers, he's in charge of the aegyo and the manly, beastly body image and also the prankster
hoya - mostly he's quiet but when he speaks, it's really done for the sake of variety because he has a sharp tongue and he knows exactly what to say. i would say what you see on screen is what you get with hoya: quiet ambition. him choosing to play junhee was a conscious decision on his part because it came down to whether he wanted to accept it or not
sungyeol - sungyeol was known as the playful, childish one but recently he's been trying to push a more matured image but he's also the 'funniest' one, like that's his role - something like the mood maker. sometimes he can it too far though because he's had problems with trainees and higher ups predebut and right after their debut. i would think he plays up his playful side for the camera but he's also naturally really loud and teasing
myungsoo - the biggest divide. L is cold, calm, quiet and myungsoo is the direct opposite. he's clumsy and he stutters and his voice is kinda really whiney lol which is why they usually just make L stand there and not smile because his smile is kinda wonky as well ♥ if you watch ranking king, you can tell he's really being himself there because they talk abou this 'L cosplay' too
sungjong - also a big divide, i think. he used to be really flighty and sassy but these days he's really solemn and serious. the hyungs say he's scary because he shouts at them when he's angry and he hits them as well lol. it kinda clashes with his maknae image because he reads serious books and he doesn't like doing aegyo like woohyun and he's pretty serious but when he smiles, he can really light up a room so the rift between 2010/11 sungjong and the one now is something i chalk up to growing up

i saw the birthday clip just now :'D dongwoo didn't make any sense lmao qt guy. i feel like they're all really close, especially when they started hugging each other + the manager lol also loading the sufbb version of theirs now! ;;
i think i'll probably stan myungsoo because he seems like the qtest out of all?? i expected his voice to be deeper because of his face but i just saw a video of nothing's over with sunggyu and hoya and he sounds pitchy. sungjong seems really sassy in the first few videos i've watched but why do i have this thought of sunggyu being the sassier one u__u
their trainee days seem a little confusing. also what family history of hoya's is the anon talking about?
da but: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=Q74nPv9vY1I#t=365s
on the first episode of sesame player sungyeol revealed one of hoya's family photos that was taken in september 2010, the last time hoya had seen his family (and this episode was aired like 9 months later), and on the back hoya had written "i'll make sure to succeed before i come back." sungyeol explained that when he was younger hoya had missed school (or dropped out?) to pursue singing/dancing, which his family was opposed to. but hoya's since said that he's gone back home and that his family is proud of him so i think things are good now
most of the videos that were on yt have been taken down, but you can find all of the clips (as unlisted videos) here: http://ithetimes.wordpress.com/category/reality-shows/infinite-sesame-player/
sesame player is their best show imo, it's very scripted but it's consistently hilarious and gives you some idea of what they're like.
their very first show was called you are my oppa, and it followed them just before their debut. the premise was that since they're going to become "national oppas" or w/e they sent a high school girl to live with them and they had to learn to be a good oppa to her. so it just kind of follows them around as they gear up for their debut.
and between yamo and sesame player there was days of infinite which i also really recommend, it's more of a candid-camera type thing that follows them as they promote "she's back", tour around korea, get ready for btd, etc. i think most of the episodes are here: http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL084FE4A767A5F455&feature=plcp
