Mingyu

Mingyu is basically the guy in Seventeen who was unfairly handed every gift at once — insane height, a deep honey voice, and a face that consistently breaks the internet — and somehow he's still one of the most likable members of the group. As part of the hip-hop unit he holds his own lyrically, but what really gets me is how he carries himself on stage: confident without being cocky, playful without being a clown. The Pledis trainee-to-global-idol pipeline has produced a lot of polished performers, but Mingyu has this unscripted charisma that you can't manufacture. Whether he's cooking on a variety show or headlining a stadium tour with seventeen members moving in perfect sync, he just pops. A genuine standout in a group of standouts — that's not an easy thing to pull off.
