Key -> Onew (Onkey):
Imo there used to be a period of time when he thought Onew was this ridiculous bumbling idiot who liked to crack non-funny jokes (Onew Sangtae~). When Onew is not being a loser though, I think he’s fine with Onew - especially the past year -, and even shows his affection for him randomly like whispering “I love you” to him on a radio show. Key seems to be the one bossing Onew around instead of the other way round though lol.
Key -> Jonghyun (Jongkey):
The BFFs! As mentioned before, the two of them are really close. The thing about their friendship is that Jonghyun tends to play around a lot of with other people as well, so sometimes (but no often) Key is left hanging. Idk there was this fanaccount of Jonghyun talking and laughing with SNSD and Key was just staring at them lmao. Recently though, Key seems to be getting a lot closer to the people his age, so I think this evens the balance back out. It seems like he used to be really dependent on Jonghyun, but not as much now, although they are still close.
Key -> Minho (Minkey):
The two of them are the only two of the group who are of the same age, so they have no hyung-dongsaeng reservations. Key tends to be a little meaner and less reserved around Minho, sometimes doing stuff like cutting him off when he was still talking lol. I’m not really an “OPPAR DIDN’T MEAN IT” person, but I genuinely think that Key doesn’t mean to be rude most of the time.
Key -> Taemin (Taekey):
Key absolutely loves Taemin, even more so than Jonghyun and Onew do. He obviously thinks Taemin is the most adorable being on earth, which is why he babies Taemin a lot, and is always doing stuff like tidying up his clothes and brushing his hair for him. However, he’s also mentioned that Taemin’s been listening less to him and “growing up”, so I think Taemin does feel a little smothered by him sometimes. Imo Key is learning to let go, so as to speak, but it seems like he’d be the most lenient with Taemin. In the New Zealand photobook BTS, Key also reminded Taemin to be careful when he was cycling lol. The two of them share a room.

After he’s become more outgoing, it’s also pretty obvious that the boy is freakishly competitive. Maybe it’s because he’s a sports person, but he basically wants to win in every single thing. I’m a little surprised that he managed to conceal it so well in Yunhanam (although he did mention he was disappointed when no one picked him) though lol, because now in Hello Baby and all when he doesn’t get chosen he throws a silent (or sometimes not so silent) tantrum. So yeah basically he’s a sore loser who gets all sulky when he loses.
Which brings us to the point that Minho loves sports. Seriously, I think he’s an addict. The members have also mentioned that he’s good in every sport e.g. basketball, soccer (loves it with his life - before debuting, he always thought he was going to be a soccer player when he grew up), running etc. It probably has something to do with the fact that his father is a soccer coach though lol. He’s also the tallest member in the group, and looks absolutely gorgeous when he models.
Minho is the hyung-collector. He’s close to a lot of hyungs like Changmin (DBSK) - THE TWO OF THEM ARE ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE URGHHHHHH -, Junho (2PM) - from Dream Team, probably -, and most of the Super Junior members. I think it’s probably because Minho has an older brother so he can sort of… relate to them better? Idk. Out of all the hyungs, he’s the closest to Changmin I think! He’s talked about Changmin on shows before, imitates Changmin’s Mirotic scream and there’s that wonderful backstage clip of Changmin saying he cried because Minho was too handsome and Minho was all “hyunnnnng~”. Not to mention that little mix-up where a magazine thought Minho was Changmin’s girlfriend lmao (long story).
AFTER SEEING HIM IRL,
I think I liked him a lot more lol. Really though, he’s tall and gorgeous and breathtaking when you see him close-up. Kind of gives you a shock because he looks like he just stepped out of the pages of a magazine lmao :) he doesn’t seem particularly affected by fans, imo he treats fans like an oh-hi-you’re-here-again-nice-to-see-you way lmao.

Mentioned before in Onew’s part i.e. I have nothing more to add on to it :|
Minho -> Jonghyun (Jongho):
They actually tease each other a lot, especially in Hello Baby when they both fight over Yoogeun lol. When Jonghyun won Minho in terms of Yoogeun’s affection once he kept yelling about how at least he won Choi Minho. I think they’re pretty close although they don’t show it a lot onscreen.
Minho -> Key (Minkey):
Like I mentioned, Key used to be a lot more abrupt around Minho, and Minho just put up with it. But after he got a lot more open and outgoing, he’s taken to retorting right back to Key, which usually ends up in bickering (especially in Hello Baby when they fight over Yoogeun). I think he’s a little annoyed by Key’s constant need of being the centre of attention, but lets it slide most of the time - when he feels it’s too much though, he fights back. They’re obviously close though, because sometimes onscreen Minho has a slip of the tongue and calls Key Kibum, although he doesn’t do that with Onew lol.
Minho -> Taemin (2min):
I never really thought much about this pairing before the appearance of that epic 2min fancam where Taemin leaped onto Minho and they had a gigantic hug and looked like they were going to kiss lol. After that I went around watching more 2min fancams and realized this: Minho really loves to hit Taemin’s butt. Seriously. I think it’s one of the things they just… do, but he always does it. It’s more like a motherly pat but idk

Taemin’s a really good dancer. I don’t know much about the actual technical skills, but you can tell that he really puts in a lot of effort and energy whenever he dances. He also plays the piano really well; he performed River Flows in You on one of the music shows once and played the piano accompaniment for 8eight’s performance of Goodbye My Heart, I think?
The thing about Taemin is that the whole world thinks he’s cute, and he knows this too, which is why sometimes he plays it up to get whatever he wants. In Hello Baby when he was grocery shopping with Minho, he totally just took whatever he wanted even when Minho asked him to put it back. Then he promptly escaped and left Minho to settle the money by himself.
This is linked to the point that Taemin has sort of been the maknae his entire life lol, since he has an older brother and he’s the youngest of the group. He’s probably used to aegyo-ing his way into whatever he wants, although he seems to be a little smothered by the attention sometimes, especially when it comes to Key.
Being the maknae, he’s also the one who is bullied the most in the group. In Korea, the youngest is supposed to be respectful and listen to whatever the older people tell you, which is why he is usually chucked with the job of washing plates etc. He’s also bullied outside the group - in school, to be exact. There have been fanaccounts of people seeing students throw stationery at Taemin, and pictures of him looking really depressed whenever he’s in school. No one knows why though; it could be because Taemin is an idol or something, or maybe he’s too used to getting what he wants and comes off as a brat sometimes.
AFTER SEEING HIM IRL,
He is adorable. He was clearly excited to travel overseas, and during the e-awards especially, he was practically hyperventilating from happiness lmao. When he was dancing he also looked really happy to see so many fans there. He also looked carefully at all our signboards and even smiled at us (or maybe the signboard itself lmao idk). During the rehearsals, he also waved at us (or at least I think that was him rofl).
Taemin -> Onew (Ontae):
He seems to adore Onew as well, so it’s a two-way thing. Taemin isn’t a mean person, so he doesn’t bully Onew as much when it comes to his Santae-ness lol. I think Onew is really nice and sweet to him, which is why he’s nice and sweet back as compared to…
Taemin -> Jonghyun (Jongtae):
The two of them joke around a lot, which is why Taemin is a bit less polite and formal when it comes to Jonghyun. During the age-swap game in Hello Baby, he obviously targets all his vengeance on Jonghyun instead of Onew, which probably says a lot about their relationship. He does love Jonghyun a lot too, and there are fancams of him clinging onto Jonghyun or running to him and hugging him.
Taemin -> Key (Taekey):
Honestly, I think sometimes Taemin gets annoyed by how protective Key is over him, which led to the whole “Taemin is growing up” thing Key said. Most of the time he’s fine with it though, especially when it aids him in getting what he wants (case in point: sandwiches).
Taemin -> Minho:
I think he’s the closest to Minho, judging by the way they behave. The other members do dote on Taemin a lot, but it’s Minho whom we see Taemin voluntarily interact with the most. He sort of takes advantage of how nice Minho is to him though, so he acts a little like a spoilt brat sometimes. Minho is still ridiculously accepting towards him though (when it comes to Taemin, Minho sort of resembles Key in this way), and I think Taemin does feel guilty about this sometimes, which is why he shows affection towards Minho the most.
