Lately I’ve been watching a lot of old SHINee content, and Minho sitting silently in the back during all their rookie-era press is kind of bizarre given how loud he actually is. He and Key have both talked about how they were told to basically sit down and shut up during their very early years, as the agency wanted SHINee (and especially Minho) to have more of a mysterious image. To my knowledge, this has fallen out of fashion over time, but I’m curious about other well-known or just publicly acknowledged examples of an agency “assigning” a personality to an idol, especially ones that were obviously very different from their real personality. It’s both a little dark and very funny to me. What other idols have talked about this? Are there other examples? Does it still happen now, and to what degree? Thanks!! submitted by /u/barbiethebuilder [link] [comments]
More idols who were “assigned” a personality by their agency?
