thank you for asking ;u; the exos on the just some guy spectrum:

just some guy-est of the bunch: kyungsoo—but i think it's partly on purpose while also for both impostor-ish syndrome and privacy reasons (see him regularly denying that he sings, acts, cooks etc. despite doing it all extremely well). he is an actor after all, you cannot trust them! (evidence: kyungsoo having the just some guy vibes down to perfection.) it's similar for jongdae! though i think it's more of a carefully constructed and meticulously upheld exterior for him (he is such a private person!) than for kyungsoo whose vibes are half-intended, half by accident. the funny thing about jongdae is that he might very much be just some guy beneath that exterior (idk if that makes sense but... yeah).

yearns to be and/or thinks of himself as just some guy (in a negative way) but hindered by his inherent cuteness: minseok. he's both very self-assured and to a degree self-sufficient (see him often enjoying himself in the company of the exos while literally sitting at the side, it feels like he's often in conversation with himself? remember all those ladder scenes of him making noises while eating, they're not meant for anyone else! it's a monologue, he enjoys the role of a more or less distant spectator. i'm so bad at explaining this, forgive me) but often seems to seek approval to an extent that negates this? okay i feel like i lost the thread here, i cannot explain it! but minseok is decidedly Not just some guy.

look like just some guy but the second they move/emote/speak it all falls apart: sehun (he's so weird, it's wonderful), yixing (strives too hard for the exceptional and undoable, plus also very weird).

would be considered and perfect at being just some guy if he never left his house or showed up to social functions: baekhyun.

isn't just some guy and very upfront about it: jongin (once you get past the shyness, he's this strange mix of incredibly silly and just as incredibly mature, and his matureness makes him exempt from being just some guy in my opinion).

too tall (and impulsive) to ever be considered just some guy: chanyeol.

the opposite of kyungsoo (and to some extent similar to minseok), as in, could never be just some guy even if he tried: junmyeon.
