ATEEZ San MBTI Analysis
- ISFP -
An in-depth analysis of an idol's MBTI type. Based on my opinion and observations, may change later. Not an expert.
ISFP (Fi - Se - Ni - Te)
Dom: Fi (Introverted Feeling)
A judging function that uses one's own values and belief to compare and make choices
San is incredibly Fi valued - he has a strong belief of being genuine and wants others to do the same. Fi focuses on authenticity and realness - being a highly moralistic function, it would not feel right for an Fi user to put up a front or particular image just to suit other's tastes/expecations.
His very Fi answers from Singles 2021 interview:
How I look at people
I definitely look at people based on their morality. No matter how nice of a suit they show off, It's hard for me to like them if they are rude to others. There may be achievements that can be achieved by working hard in a short period of time, but because morality cannot be made overnight, I think much more effort is needed.
Impact on the fans:
...Our fans may have received a lot of influence from us, but I hope they can all form their own values nonetheless. As much as possible, I tend to refrain from saying things that are likely to be judged as good or bad because I am worried that fans might get the wrong idea due to what I say.
Aux: Se (Extroverted Sensing)
A perceiving function that uses our 5 senses to process the external world.
San is in tune with his environment, always paying attention to others and events in the moment.
“For San, it’s movies and dramas [that inspire his performances], he takes those characters on,” explains Wooyoung. San, widely lauded for having an explosive stage presence, makes his creative choices the day of". Very Se of him to make decisions without prior planning. I've also noticed Se dom/aux type performers often have "explosive stage presence" as they're usually focused on the image and presentation of their performance.
“If there’s something I think of that I want to do that day, I share it with everyone to see if it will be okay. Then we create that image together and I simply express myself.” - i-D Magazine interview
Tert: Ni (Introverted Intuition)
A perceiving function that uses one's own personal insights and ideas.
San always had a dream of becoming a singer since he was young. Having Fi - Ni, he chose his heart and pursued his dreams. Passion drives Fi and Ni towards their visions.
Inf: Te (Extroverted Thinking)
A judging function that uses established facts and systems to make objective, working decisions.
San uses his Te to plan and pursue his goals. He always gives it his all in his career, constantly improving in his singing and performance. He loves what he does and takes the effort and steps to achieve his goals.

Why he's not an INFP:
Although both types are Fi dominant, their aux and tertiary functions are different. INFP has Ne-Si (Extroverted Intuition - Introverted Sensing), while ISFP uses Se-Ni. From what I've observed, San doesn't really seem to use Ne.
INFPs: IU, SF9 Hwiyoung, DAY6 Wonpil
