"I think he's trying to change his character in RM, he's trying to be more "active", and a bit rebellious too (with the BGM that goes with this)! XD I have mixed feelings about it: it's funny, but at the same time it's weird." I think you're right. It's been a while now that I have the impression that he's trying too hard to change his image. It's awkward/funny because he doesn't have enough experience to know precisely how to behave in the given situations, and as consequence he makes mistakes. So I think it's this contrast between two facets of him (the "Look at me, I'm a cool and outgoing person & I'm daring too" and the "I'm actually a bit shy and inexperienced, but hopefully nobody will notice" part) that makes it a bit strange.
I've noticed too that he tends to just "go for it," regardless if it's an area he's good at or not. Of course, given his profession, that's almost necessary trait, I guess, especially if you have some skill/talent to back it up, but sometimes I feel like he's trying too hard to be someone he's not. All right, as an entertainer you're supposed to do that, but it seems that the changes he's making are not relegated only to his public image, but are in part also personal.
Don't laugh, but in a way I see him as in being in second puberty. It's like now that he's gaining more and more popularity he found himself in the position where there are new rules, new possibilities, and he has (and wants) to test the limits anew.
I'm not saying SJK doesn't have a "wild streak" in him. Actually, at some seemingly innocuous remarks I thought, "Gosh, I'm glad he's normally not the type to just blurt whatever's on his mind, because many of his fans would not see him as a "good boy" anymore, and I think this wouldn't be good for him." I'm trying to say that IMO he seems focused on the role he must fulfill that I'm a bit afraid he'll sooner or later start to believe that he actually has to be that kind of person.
My, my I sure have a lot to say about someone I don't even know personally. /o\ *hides*

Sorry for replying so late! ><
Ooh the pale blue one! It's so pretty, it's the one I like the most after the black council one! XD
Ha, I don't know if the brainwashing really did work! XD In general, I tend to look at his eyes more than his lips. He just has those huuuuge (and shiny) eyes, and it's killing me when he makes an innocent expression! >_<'
"I was afraid I'd wake up with my face scribbled all over." --> Lol! Don't worry, I'm not the type person who would break into someone's house to do these type of things! XD (I would wait until you come out... hehehehe~! :p)
As for SJK, I think that he's more of the "serious type", so when he tries to do gags it's a bit awkward because it doesn't go well with his personality, things like pushing pride aside, being thick-skinned etc.
I agree with most of what you said, and I think that the "second puberty" happens to all of them, as they become more and more popular. I remember Yoo Ah In said something similar, that he had to adapt to the changes or something like that...
Haha, don't worry! SJK appears on tv for people to talk about him! XD
