i do think he's such a shadow leader and i love him for it ♥ but his playfulness makes me forget that he's everybody's hyung and so he does have a hold on them. the fact that kris is the nominal and public leader also makes easier for me to forget lol. but my personal headcanon is that xiumin has an instinctual understanding of people's needs so he caters to or humors everybody subtly so everybody respects him back.
it really would be interesting if that were the case, especially given how hierarchical things can be over there. i just love the image of chen, tao, and even kris looking over at him sometimes for even the tiniest bit of direction lol he does seem to have a pretty unassuming air (which... probably isn't working out for him /o\) but i think in a person rather than an idol, that's not a bad thing? like, he puts up with all of lu han's and the fandom's endless baozi jokes, that has to count as humoring, right? lol but yeah, just that watchful, obliging big brother feeling from him ;;
