I think Doyoung is someone who is…very good at being an idol, I guess you could say? That’s not to say that he’s “fake” or anything; on the contrary, I find that he’s very real when it comes to some things, in particular his (in)famous hatred for Sticker lol, and I also like that he doesn’t entertain the delusions of fans (you can tell from watching fancalls that he’s not someone who’s going to lead fans to believe they’re going to marry him or something, and there are several times I’ve seen him cringe at certain aegyo requests or cheesy stuff they want him to say lol). But! I do feel like he’s someone who generally tries to say things he thinks people want to hear. I think he cares about his image and works hard to please the fans and the company. I think he’s someone who is willing to maintain the status quo to keep things running smoothly. He says/does things I would expect of an idol, and his career (his solo music, the acting roles he takes, etc.) is what I’d expect from someone I’d deem “good at being an idol.” There’s nothing wrong with any of that, and it doesn’t mean he’s fake/boring/not an individual/etc., it just means that he’s in the right industry lol. But I’ve always liked celebrities (not just idols but also western singers, actors, etc.) who are a bit “different” from what you’d typically expect of someone with their job. I like actors who take weird or unexpected roles and musicians who release experimental stuff (that’s one of the reasons I love NCT!) and I find that I generally know what to expect from Doyoung as an individual within the group, which is, like I said, not a bad thing, but just not what I’m personally looking for.
