No, you’ve made your disclaimers more than clear. What I meant to ask is exactly this: what made you make up exactly this kind of stuff? Unless you’re literally making stuff up out of thin air, something must have provoked you to speculate about the members’ hidden personality traits the way you did - something they said or do, or didn’t say or do, something they’ve mentioned in passing, an expression they made when they thought they were off camera, etc. Sorry if my ask came across the wrong way.
Oh crap. Jeez I'm just ... multiple fails. Sorry for the mix up.
Assuming you still want the answer I will tell you what inspired each headcanon.
For Hongjoong - Each time I've seen him in concert I just got a sense of an extremely gentle tender person. Even when he's howling I GOT IT BAAAAD or swaggering around in a fur coat. And when he's on live esp when he's play acting the jealous oppa thing his diction gets really blurry and lispy and 2 degrees away from full blown baby talk. Plus when he accidentally kicked Mingi in the head that one time he threw his whole body into the I'm Sorry embrace, making me think he actually likes full on body contact a lot - hence bear hug lover headcanon.
Seonghwa being a domineering alpha male comes from his being so comfy with wearing dresses and heels and being the mom. I feel like it takes a really dominant personality as a man to lean hard into androgyny and femininity, especially if he went to a series of all male schools and socially excelled enough to be elected class president and recruit (draft??) boys into his dance troupe.
As for Yunho - his inability to sit still for just a second is well documented. There's also a very weird clip where Mingi and Yunho are sitting for some sort of content but Mingi has bent over sideways while Yunho bounces his chin on Mingi's neck. The only way I can make this make sense is if Yunho needs a stim toy and he picked Mingi to be it because in the Korean context Yunho is a giant and can't do that sort of thing to someone too much smaller. Everything else was extrapolated from that.
Mingi mutism I invented based on the infamous(?) Ice On My Teeth making of video where he didnt like or was having a hard time with the tasks and completely went silent, melting the ice, as the staff got increasingly desperate then scared. I dont think Wooyoung likes Mingi very much but I want him to, so I have invented another reason why Wooyoung takes shots at him sometimes.
San having kind of a temper with a bite comes from seeing footage of his entire demeanor changing when his mike thingy doesn't work. And he told Park Narae that he was angry when he gave his smoking gangster performance because stage settings hadn't been provided as promised.
Yeosang I headcanon as a news junkie because he talked about investing in stocks successfully once, and I think that if you take in a lot of news media you end up with a lot of opinions.
Wooyoung will never ever forgive Vata and won't touch ANYTHING to do with that guy and he will also exile Atiny who won't get with the program. This isn't made up. Plus he cant let people's malaproprisms go - he HAS to correct them on air and out loud. Hence stern, humorless and rigid. Ok so maybe this one isn't fiction but is instead interpretation.
Jongho has to be a slut because when he looked at that lucky lady that he sang that Noona song to over Chuseok, he was totally at ease with making a woman get all gooey because of him. He didn't look away, ease up or get jokey about it. Which I take to mean he has experienced having that effect on lots of women 1:1. = slut.
