It's always the quiet ones~

It's always the quiet ones, isn't it? The idols you see slaying the stage with their charisma whether it may be by singing, dancing or rapping. But when you look at them off the stage it turns out that they are the muted 4D member. Or the chill member that doesn't get into much trouble. Against popular belief maybe the quiest ones have the best stage presence overall.


Lee Taemin

I don't exactly consider him "the quiet one" per say. Rememer Minho used to take up that roll. But when you compare his on-stage persona to him off-stage persona it's a monsterous difference. We've all seen Danger. How he shameless exposed is body. ing at the crowd and dancing like he was freaking summoning the devil. When he's on stage he constantly flashes us y expressions with no hesitation killing us all. But in real life it's the total opposite. He's very bashful and likes to hide his body. When the MC tells him to be y he can't stop smiling. He still has that innocent aura that he hasn't quite shaken yet and he still has those nervous habits even after proving his manliness.

Can you believe these two are the same people??

IMPOSSIBLE!!

Moving on before I have a heart attack...

Leo from Vixx

This is the actual quiet one in Vixx. In a group full of goofballs Leo is this member (O.O) He has a light speaking voice that completely contradicts his strong singing voice. He doesn't say much on camera and when he does he's usually embarrassed about it. He fails at aegyo everytime. But on stage it's a different story. I fell in love with his stage presence during Hyde and ever since he's been my bias. When he's performing he's not shy at all. He dances very well and he belts out Jonghyun-like high notes like it's nothing.

G-Dragon

Like Taemin he's not exactly the quiet one but this dude has two freaking side to himself. Gdragon: the crazy, insane, allegedly weed smoking party boy who's ADHD on stage and then Jiyong: the calm, collected song writing/composing person who cares about the people he loves. His two sides is why he's one of my ultimate biases. You would think by looking at his videos he would be this self-important jerk that only cares about himself. You are so wrong. He's a very deep and intense person with great ideas and lots of connections to the world outside of Korea.

Hyunseung from Beast 

Dubbed the 4D character in B2ST. After all these years in the spotlight he still doesn't talk much and is awkward and quiet most of the time. But I believe he's one of those members who just stands out. While some admire Kikwang's looks and Yoseob's voice I admire his stage presence. He's able to grind up on Hyuna without looking uncomfortable and he's always doing extra stuff like spinning, crotch grabbing, moon walking and  adlib on the vocals on stage. He's just as much quailified to be a main dancer as Kikwang and his vocals are unique and very strong. Hyunseung and Leo are like twins both on stage and off.

Minzy

Now I love the girls of 2ne1 but the maknae definitely catches my attention the most. She's possbily the most stable singer in the group and she can dance her off no joke. YG isn't really known for their killer dance skills but she defies the odds. She goes hard whenever she performs with 100% efforts. Off stage she has a calm and collected personality like her sunbae GD. She also has a soft speaking voice like Leo. You wouldn't think Minzy and Minji are one in the same.

L from Infinite

Ah the visual. He's always making girls faint with his killer looks on stage. He has a nice singing voice. He can play guitar like no other and his dancing is adequate. Of course he's handsome but aside from that he knows how to use his looks. You would think he's overflowing with confidence and that he thinks he's the best. But he's actually really shy on variety shows. When asked to make y faces he smiles instead and feels embarrassed just like Taemin.

Hyunseung from Boyfriend

Possibly the most underrated member in Boyfriend. This dude has made a major transformation this year. You know that delicious looking one with the abs from Obsession?? Yeah this is him. On stage he's flooding charisma. Those y looks he gives us. His high notes and smooth moves. Off-stage he's the exact opposite. Very shy and at times awkward. Often revealing that cute eye smile when he's feeling sheepish.

I could only think of T.O.P right now.
He's all y stare, his eyes, lips, covered yet still hot body, etc, but the moment he's off-stage, he's bingu-top. I always crack up when he starts his goofy dance moves without giving any at all lol

I'd personally add Kai and Lay too. It has been Kai vs Jongin since their debut.
In their debut showcase I remember him getting all embarassed and shy when asked to do aegyo, when a few moments before he was , well just being Kai. Since I follow him and Taemin the most from your list I can only talk about them. From what I saw these two are the type that are so hard on themselves, they already talked about dancing till dawn but still enjoying it despite the tiredness. I can't really see them and Lay with the so called 'celebrity desease' because they just plainly love dancing and performing so much (at least let's hope it will be like that even in the future).
I do think they are aware of they skills but don't get cocky about it, you feel it. More than thinking "they're showing off how cool they are when dancing" it's more like "they're showing what they had learnt and their hardwork throughout the years" in my case.

Taemin will be forever the adorable maknae he's always been, despite his image onstage. You can be shirtless how much you want but those interviews don't lie, you're still a cutie. Did you watch the episode of the "4 something" show about Taemin? It just made me remember why I love SHINee so much.
