For a lot of us K-pop fangirls, knowing our fave idols' MBTI personality type is one way for us to feel closer to them.
The MBTI, or Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, composes of 16 personality types and is seen as a brief insight into how people make decisions, how they tend to interact with other people, and how they see challenges.
Of course, there are some people who don't *totally* believe in it (FYI, it's advised to take the MBTI with a grain of salt), but it's still a pretty cool way to know people's personalities.
So let's get right to it and get to know the personality types of our fave Korean idols!
