I guess this is relevant for anyone interested in the data.
A while ago I was assembling a celebrity self-type list, and was surprised to find out that a lot of K-pop groups have taken the MBTI test and published the results on their official channels.
This is what I gathered so far.
*= group leader
###########BTS
Jin – INTP
Suga – INFP
J-Hope – ESFJ
*Rap Monster – INFP
Jimin – ENFJ
V – ENFP
Jungkook – INFP
##########DAY6

Jae - INTP
Young K - ENTP
Wonpil - INFP
Dowoon - ISFP
##########GOT7

Youngjae - ISFJ
Yugyeom - INFP
Jinyoung - ISFJ
BamBam - ESTJ
*JB - INFJ
###########SEVENTEEN
INFP-A / INFP-T Type – *S.Coups, Jun, Hoshi, DK
ENFP-A / ENFP – T Type – SeungKwan, Vernon
INFJ-A / INFJ-T – WonWoo, Woozi, The8
ENFJ – A / ENFJ – T Type – Joshua, MinGyu, Dino
ISFJ-A / ISFJ-T Type – JeongHan
I'm happy to find this since I love Kpop, but I see this tread has became sick and then died, so I'll try and revive it:

I think he's so blind because while he's incredibly attached and loyal to Bangtan, he has never been one for socializing among idols like Tae, Jimin, Jin and Namjoon. For years he had literally just one friend in the business, and that only changed in the last 2 years. Even then his circle is small and other people reach out to him. He's also a homebody whom according to Namjoon spends a lot of time alone in his room while the others are together. Armies joke on Twitter about him and Yoongi both wearing only black, but aside from that being funny I also believe they're the odd ones out in the group. All the others are social butterflies, and then you have them. The last couple years Armies have been getting periodically surprised about both Yoongi and Kookie's friendships we never heard about. If other people don't post pics or mention them in interviews we would think they're loners. Kookie is also not very into projecting a certain image and along with Yoongi does the least V Lives and posts the least pictures. Yoongi posts more just because he has that type 3 vanity.

Have you read The Wisdom of The Enneagram? Which books do you base your knowledge on? Hobi does not fit into any of the 7 subtypes. I also had him as a 7w6 until recently, but admittedly I had not taken the effort to read the whole chapter on 7. When I did I realized it didn't really fit, so I went and read the one on 6 and voilá, there he was.
Jin is absolutely not a core 2, it's quite clear when you contrast him with Jimin: Jin said on BV that he used other people to make himself happy, because making others laugh made him happy. He's as accommodating as any average SEI, but also has no qualms putting limits to people, for example him making it clear he didn't want anyone on his room during the Bring The soul docu series. His response to the fight with Tae in Burn The Stage: he hates negative emotions and conflict, and will accomodate others to his own detriment. He said he chose to imitate a praying mantis during the Japanese barbecue show because he knew it'd be too difficult to the others to do it. He also said on one of their Memories of 2018 DVD that he thought the others didn't take his anger seriously because he was so nice. During his talk with Tae post the fight he said he'd like if they could remember he also has limits. Before that he reiterated he never wanted to remind them of his age because he didn't want them not to approach him freely. He frequently goes against management and being chaotic with his hair: a small rebellion that shows how stubborn he can be. Jin wants to acommodate, not serve. He's aware of how making others happy comes from a selfish place: no type 2 would do that because it goes against their biggest shame: showing that they have needs of their own. This is literally written on all type 2 chapters on Enneagram books.
Nothing you said about Jimin is a type 3 thing. Of course he's image conscious because 1) He's an IDOL, lol 2) He's an image type. He has a 1 wing: if you know your Enneagram than you know it's a competence type. Not to mention he has a Te Hidden Agenda exactly like Tae: did you forget the times Tae broke down in tears on stage because he couldn't really sing, even though he was sick on a couple of them? Or how Yoongi wrote that Tae was always focusing on his flaws and on what he lacks and asked him to be more confident on himself? Or Namjoon's many logs where he explicitly says he lacks in everything, how far from his ideal he is, his message on WeVerse yesterday saying he needs to lose weight, and the fact that he's favorite compliment to receive is "You lost weight"? What about Jin insisting to this day that he lacks compared to the others and have to work really hard to catch up to them? Or Jungkook calling himself lazy when all the other guys were baffled and said he was always working on improving? The same Jungkook that cried both on and off stage because he thought his performance was not good?
Now tell me: why is Jimin a 3, and the others aren't? Why is he so different from Yoongi then? Sexual 3s are described as wanting to compete on the romantic/sexual arena above anything, and to try really hard to fit the image of the sex symbol of their culture. When did Jimin try to fit Kore's standards fro an attractive male? The last time was in what, 2015? And that's pushing it.
When Bangtan opens up about their struggles, like for example during Burn The Stage, Bring The Soul and the 2018 Festa special Yoongi always talks about his fear of failure and status change, his ambitions, their milestones. What does Jimin never shuts up about? Oh yeah, other people. Most of what Jimin exposes in terms of angst or worries are about the other guys: how was so worried about one of them being down he got drunk and cried about it to their dancers; how this other one was going through a hard time, asking the others to show appreciation and gratefulness to Namjoon, showering Hobi, Jin and Jungkook with compliments. It's him hurt lying on a stretcher but still looking deeply concerned with Namjoon who was in the same situation. I'm not even gonna touch on his relationship with Tae because that's unnecessary and would take a whole page, suffice to remember how jealous and clingy he is, and how he will whine for attention. Or his behaviour at the last BV: none of the other guys are nearly as willfully helpful or keep constant tabs on each other's emotional states like the does. And we're talkin about a group were Yoongi said he couldn't pick the most considerate. It's like Jimin has this alarm that goes off whenever anyone is feeling uncomfortable, I'm very surprised you didn't comment on it since it's one of the top narratives about him in the fandom.
But the biggest giveaway is this: is Jimin detached from his feelings? Can you give me evidence of him being very objective and pragmatic with people? How does Jimin acts when he is feeling bad:like a 9 or a 4? When he was asked about his resolution for 2020 he said: "Become a better dancer for the team".
Also: I'm a 3w4, and I relate to Yoongi a whole lot. Jimin? Not at all.

LMAO, thanks for letting me know you're a waste of time. Your eloquence it's admireble.
And Mr @Adam Strange, I didn't know you were an Army! Tell me, when did you start following kpop?
I have never seen kpop, much less followed it. There have been some people on this forum who like it and have posted pictures of kpop stars, but the whole genre seems uninteresting to me. It seems like it might appeal to 13 yo female Fe-users, which I am not.
No offense meant, that’s just my impression.
Why do you think I’m an Army? I have been compared to the 82nd Airborne before, but I doubt that’s what you meant.
*EDIT*
Maybe this had something to do with me “liking” @cookie123’s one word response to your wall of text? I “liked” it because there isn’t a “Lol” button. It seemed a powerful illustration of the fact that you two are very different.
When I read it, it seemed very succinct, and I was reminded of the short story that Hemingway was supposed to have written on a bet; “For sale: Baby shoes, never worn.”
Six words. An entire story. But cookie123 has him beat.

Jennie from Blackpink is as ESI as you can get. Probably ESI-Fi.
@one Don't you think Jimin is pretty victimy? I just don't see the 4D Se. Stage charisma is all Fe. I always pegged him as EIE.
LOL. Can you link the video? I wanna see if my answers would match up with his or not.
I could accept ESI for BP Jennie.
This website seems to have a lot of MBTI self-typings for famous South Koreans: https://www.koreaboo.com/#search

Blink here:
Jennie : ESI-Fi
Chichu : SEI-Si
Lisa: (Se type) SEE
Rose: IEE
Their solo's are supposed to represent them in a way. As of April, all for members had their solo singles. I didnt type them according to their solos but they match with my typings as well.
Jennie
Rose
Lisa
Jisoo
What would you type others then ? @loopyclouds
I can understand why someone would think alpha NT for Jisoo. With her lazy attitude and sense of fashion overall i think, she is more Si-Ixxp and that is SEI in alpha.
I can also discuss ESE for Lisa. She is very expressive.
Did you watch the documentry on netflix btw? BLACKPINK: Light Up the Sky
My favorite group is WJSN. I haven't been in touch with their stuff lately but here's my typings based on what I remember:
Exy: ESE
Seola: EII
Bona: ESI
Soobin: IEE
Luda: SEI (However I think she could be a T type but I don't know any that fits.)
Dawon: SLI
Eunseo: EIE
Yeoreum: SEI
Dayoung: SEE
Yeonjung: no idea but her vocals are insane. Maybe SLE
reviving this one! i've seen a TXT typing like this elsewhere.
yeonjun - SEE
beomgyu - IEI
huening kai - ESE
taehyun - LSI
soobin - SEI
realistic or off?
yeonjun - mb ISTJ
"K-poop would be good if the fanbase was somewhat decent."
Alike a football team would got a better opinion with other fans.
cheap mass product
Pretty good except for Huening Kai who's IEE and Beomgyu who definitely isn't Ni ego.
Blackpink: just watched Jisoo's latest MBTI video and Rosé has loads of Ne and is more aggressively extroverted than I thought. Jisoo insists she's super asocial but to a 'thou protest too much' point.
Jennie--ESI-Fi 9w8 Sp/Sx
Jisoo--ILE-Ti 9w8 Sp/So
Rosé--ESE-Fe 3w2 So
Lisa--SEE 7w6 Sx
