Though it's been a few days since the release of "Darl+ing"—SEVENTEEN's first English digital single—we're still not over how the track and the MV pushed our feels into an overdrive!
In a meet and greet with the press ahead of the single's release, Joshua revealed how the members have been wanting to drop an English song sooner. Timing was everything to the group. "We always want to thank our global CARATs for all the love that they send to us and for loving our songs, even though they don't understand Korean," he said. Mingyu added that "Darl+ing" marks their new beginning.
As we bask in all things SEVENTEEN for the next few weeks, let's inch one step closer to getting to know the boys better by revisiting the group's MBTI test results and comparing how compatible they are with ours! The MBTI (Myers-BriggsType Indicator) classifies one's personality into one of four key areas—with each area composed of two categories: Extroversion (E) vs Introversion (I), Sensing (S) vs Intuition (N), Thinking (T) vs Feeling (F), and Judging (J) vs Perceiving (P). This results in 16 broad types represented by four-letter MBTI labels that reflect how one is drawn to the opposite ends of each category. It's a very popular personality test that Korean celebs are super drawn to.
The boys took the MBTI test together in 2019. ICYMI, episode 14 of the reality show Going Seventeen documents the members and their cute interactions! Though the group has 13 members, their MBTI types fall under five categories only.

INFP (Passionate Mediators)
Members: S.Coups, Jun, DK, and Hoshi
Compatible types: ENFJ and ENTJ
Often described as true idealists, Mediators keep the flame of their inner passions burning and crave opportunities to channel creative expression. They are excellent storytellers and can articulate themselves so well. Positivity and empathy fuel their longing for deep, soulful relationships. They make the best listeners because they are non-judgmental, compassionate, and always eager to help. A sense of purpose is key for all Mediators.
In matters of the heart, they are true romantics, who believe in true love and embrace authenticity. They go beyond looks and superficial traits and value honest and open communication.
ENFP (Witty Activists)
Members: Seungkwan and Vernon
Compatible types: INTF and INFJ
Witty Activists aka Campaigners are outgoing, openhearted, and open-minded free spirits. Their energy and upbeat approach toward life makes them stand out in any crowd. Though the motto "Life is fun" ties in to their natural tendencies. People who fall under this type have personalities that run deep in terms of imagination, creativity, and curiosity. They seek emotional connections and express their feelings openly. It may take a while for a Campaigner to find the relationship, idea, or career path that feels right, but they shine bright and stay dedicated once they do decide to commit to a person or cause.
Unlike other MBTI types, Campaigners feel lonely and uninspired when they are single. They tend to fall in love quickly and fall in love hard. LDRs don't turn them off because they believe that love can overcome physical distance.
INFJ (Good Advocates)
Members: Wonwoo, Woozi, and The8
Compatible types: ENFP, ENTP, INTJ, INFJ
Less than 1% of the world’s population are Advocates. People who fall under this type value the need to stand up for what they believe in and make a difference. Success for them is rooted in finding fulfillment through helping others and contributing to good in the world. Integrity and a clear sense of good values are important to Advocates.
Due to their perfectionist and idealistic nature, it takes a while for INFJ's to find their perfect match. Though they might come across as choosy, they make warm, caring partners and do not take their loved ones for granted. They cherish relationships like meaningful connections in terms of mind, body, and soul.
ENFJ (Righteous Social Activists)
Members: Joshua, Mingyu, and Dino
Compatible types: ISFP and ISTP
Social activists are natural-born leaders armed with charisma and passion. Often referred to as Protagonists, they strive to create an impact on others and on the world. People who fall under this type will never hesitate to take the road less traveled and are very vocal about what they believe in. Motivated by the desire to do the right thing, Protagonists can easily win others over with their sincerity.
A romantic relationship with a Protagonist is never boring. Known for always making the first move, they bring intensity and passion to the table. Though they might come across as flirtatious, they take relationships seriously and focus on long-term commitments packed with devotion, trust, and mutual support.
ISFJ (Brave Defender)
Member: Jeonghan
Compatible types: ESFP and ESTP
You won't find any MBTI type more dedicated than Defenders. People who fall under this type are characterized as hardworking, responsible, and devoted. They are super reliable and never forget deadlines and special occasions. Their can-do attitude helps them adapt to change with agility and optimism. They have high standards and make it a point to always do their best.
A Defender's emotions often run so deep that they find themselves caught off guard. Though they might find it hard to articulate how they feel, they prove it through sweet gestures and genuine acts of love.
