There’s nothing more natural than loving your bias for all the run-of-the-mill things biases are loved for. Although, really, run-of-the-mill is a gross understatement when your bias is this man:

You know, a man who can set everyone’s ovaries on fire with one look…including people who don’t possess any.

Bear with me, though, because in honor of his birthday, I want to spotlight some less common (though no less worthy of adoration) traits of the Gyu that I can’t help but love. (And by love, I mean, “feel a tingle in my wiggly-piggly area for’).

His Inability to Withstand the Cold

I live in a tropical country, and for me, hearing the words “too cold” is like hearing the words “too much free candy.”

Sure, I can understand, in theory, how horrid it must be to live in temperatures significantly lower than the 30 to 35 degrees Celsius my lovely country averages (we’ve been known to hit 40 to 45 degrees; just for reference, if your country hasn’t gone metric, water boils at 100 degrees Celsius. I have lived through temperatures nearly half the temperature it takes to convert liquid to steam).

It’s just that when you’re boiling alive walking to the bus stop, it’s hard for me to believe the cold is a bad thing.

It’s even harder for me to remember that when our dear leader looks so gosh-darn-adorable struggling against it.

Although, all right, I concede my love of this quirk may stem from the exposure of the leader’s lower legs and/or feet.

(And, fine, the bedroom faces he makes.)

However, my lady area also responds well to him battling the cold without any lower region revelation.

(Does it make anyone else laugh to see Myungsoo being all carefree with his hyung bundled up next to him?)

Ahhh, Sunggyu, if you promise to be good and not fog up my windows, noona will gladly warm you up.

His Obsession with Gold

Apparently, our cutie commander has a bit of a fixation on this most precious of metals. Which, according to my parents, is just smart, since for them, it’s the second-best investment option after land. So, I guess he lives up to his moniker of GeniusGyu.

I cannot quite explain why it gets my engine going that he’s is so fixated on element number 79, just that it does. Perhaps it’s how excited he gets whenever anyone even mentions it…

(Side note: What is up with Korean variety shows giving out gold stuff as prizes?)

And I admit I love how he is absolutely unembarrassed to test the veracity of anything presented to him as gold.

Well, within reason…

Choding, you must know better than to try and separate your salamander general from his precious! Like, seriously! This is a man who has taken his obsession totally to heart.

Or should I say, to mouth?

Mmmm, not gonna lie, every time he opens that little hamster mouth wide and I spot those cute gold teeth winking out, there are three things on my mind:

1) Man, they look like gold-wrapped chocolates!

2) I’d like to unwrap those chocolates…

3) I would really, really, really like to unwrap those chocolates!

(And by “unwrap”, I mean “ hard at until the gold wrapper comes off”.)

(You know, in case that wasn’t obvious.)

His Go-to Selca Pose

Nam Woohyun may be the self-appointed “selca” king of Infinite, but our darling leader also loves shooting snaps of himself. However, something odd tends to happen when he get s that lens pointed onto the perfection that his own face. Namely, he forgets that he is a hamster man with a goodly number of photoshoots under his belt, and as such, should know more than one way to pose.

Yet, here’s what you’re likely to see:

Yes, he has a fondness for a certain selca style...

Even when you get someone else in the picture, that hand automatically moves into position!

Okay, okay, I admit, he does switch it up sometimes.

For the most part, though, a camera to the bibimbaby equals the spreading of peace…

Or victory over us Gyustans?

I’m inclined to think it’s the latter.

How He Shows He Is Most Definitely Not Amused

This could be the prude in me talking, but I do so love a man who is not afraid to show when he disapproves of something. Not in a cruel way, mind you, but in a definitive manner that leaves no room for misunderstanding.

You know, that look that clearly says, “You’ve been naughty and I am unamused.”

 (Maybe it’s because I wouldn’t mind being punished for my naughtiness…)

His Random Pillow Mania

Most Inspirits know our grandpa leader is often dozing off.

With Infinite’s hectic schedules, can you really blame him? However, though we all love us some sleepy Gyu, what I also find ridiculously adorable is how our Kim Sunggyu can (and does) turn anything and everything into a pillow.

Whether it be his cell phone….

…a puppy…

…or even his group members.

Yup, there’s just something that makes this ynoona squee at his ability to lay his head down anywhere, to the point where you have no idea if he has any sort of preference for where that adorable noggin is placed.

In which case, I’d like to say, “Sunggyu-yah, noona’s lap is always available!”

(I’d be offended, but I cannot resist his disapproving face!)

Okay, well, needless to say, these particular traits are (as always) just the tip of the iceberg (he can’t stand ice, sorry) banana when it comes to things to love about our salamander general, Kim Sunggyu. It may sound corny, but when it comes to the sweetest, iest hamster/grandpa in all of Kpop, there are just infinite things to love.

Happy birthday, our dearest Kim Sunggyu!
