* {{Adorkable}}: All 5 members show this in various moments, but T.O.P. certainly takes the cake. He's not called Bingu T.O.P. or known for his 8D personality for nothing.

** Ironically, they were mocked by Korean journalists and netizens alike for being 'ugly', when they first debuted. Now they have to eat their words as T.O.P. consistently is part of the 'Hottest Kpop male idols' list and Taeyang and Daesung are praised for their muscular bodies.

* ChildhoodFriends: G-Dragon and Taeyang [[http://www.soompi.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/g-dragon-taeyang1.jpg fit the bill perfectly]].
** G-Dragon and T.O.P can also said to be this, as they have mentioned that they were friends in childhood, and G-Dragon was the one who called T.O.P to audition for YG Entertainment.



** T.O.P. Good LORD, [[http://ygworldla.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/20120113_top_1-460x327.jpg T.O.P]].
* TheFashionista: G-Dragon, and to an extent, T.O.P. and Seungri.

* HatesBeingTouched: T.O.P.P, but he has displayed on occasion to be very friendly towards his teammates.



* InDaClub: G-Dragon and T.O.P. in ''High High.'' (''I'm Mr.G in the club, in my B-Boy stance.'')
* KaleidoscopeHair: A common trope in the K-Pop industry, seen frequently on Daesung, T.O.P., and excessively, G-Dragon.

* StageNames: Everyone in the group. G-Dragon's real name is Kwon Jiyong (he derived his stage name from his actual name - 'Ji' sounds like the pronunciation of 'G' in English, and 'yong' means dragon in Korean. He's also born in the year of the Dragon in the Chinese Zodiac.), T.O.P.'s real name is Choi Seunghyun, Taeyang's real name is Dong Youngbae, and Seungri's real name is Lee Seunghyun. While Daesung uses his real name as his stage name in Korea, he's known as D-Lite in Japan; the other members with Korean stage names also have Japanese stage names for their promotions in Japan (namely, SOL and V.I. for Taeyang and Seungri respectively).
* TheStoic: In music videos, T.O.P. rarely does any facial movement except twitch his eyebrows. In live performances, he executes their dance moves with the least effort.

* WhenHeSmiles: T.O.P. is this. However, all 5 members are capable of rendering their fangirls (and even [[EvenTheGuysWantHim fanboys]]) to puddles when they smile. Notably, Taeyang is known for his 'eye-smile', while one of Daesung's nicknames among his fans is 'Smiling Angel'. (Fun fact: it's said that the CEO of YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun Suk, chose Daesung partly for his smile.)
