I keep seeing comments asking for an explanation of Moonjo's Te and claiming that he's an INFJ. Personally, his Te is quite clear to me, so I'll break it down in this comment. I'll also explain why he's an INTJ rather than an INFJ or an Fe user. It's a long comment so its parts will be divided in the comments below this main one. Part 1: I'll start by saying that yes, INFJs can be evil too, but the way they approach things differs from how an INTJ would, even if the ultimate goal is the same. To explain it better, let's take Johan Liebert (INFJ) as an example. Johan's manipulation is Fe-driven, he controls others by tapping into their emotions, fears, and desires, making them feel like their actions are their own choices. He can turn someone into a monster just by planting an idea in their heart, making them believe they wanted it. Moonjo, on the other hand, doesn't manipulate by tapping into people's emotions. Instead of subtly guiding people to self-destruct (like Johan), Moonjo psychologically coerces them directly and puts them in situations that will force them to act a certain way (even going to extremes like drugging them). He also enforces his control with rules, authority, and structure (the rules in the residence, Te). He sees people as variables in his Te system, and he expects them to follow his personal Fi framework. Johan's Fe allows him to perfectly understand and mirror emotions to make people feel seen and heard, he's a chameleon. Moonjo has his own deeply personal values (Fi) but doesn't naturally adjust to others' emotions. His kindness is an act and while he's a good actor in the beginning, he can only withhold the show for a bit in passing and shallow interactions. And then when the characters spend more time with him, THEY NOTICE! Some characters, like the policewoman, were initially fooled by his mask but later sensed that something was off. And this is because even if INTJs can mask when it's necessary or strategic, it's tiring and quite cognitively demanding for them, so it makes sense that they can't keep it up forever. INTJs understand that warmth and charm are useful tools and strategic assets, but they don't naturally access them like an Fe user. They can fake it well in short bursts (especially if they're intelligent and observant like Moonjo), but over time, their Te-Fi cracks start showing and they become impatient, blunt, or their real values start slipping through. Now to illustrate better how Te and Fe play out in action, let's compare both characters' manipulation methods. Moonjo tries to psychologically manipulate Jongwoo by saying "You really wanted to kill him earlier, didn't you? Think about it. He's a loser, human garbage who watches nothing but weird videos with his door wide open and he came into your room to touch your things with his dirty hands. I'm sure it gave you the creeps. You don't think you fit in here, do you? 'I'm different from these people'. But you're also kind of anxious. 'What if I end up like them?' No, you think: 'Did I already become one of them by living in a place like this?'". This is Te-Fi dictating Jongwoo's thoughts and feelings. Te is framing reality as cold, harsh facts. "He's a loser, human garbage.", "You think this, you think that", he's not appealing to emotions (Fe), he's presenting them as an objective, irrefutable fact (Te), dictating reality in a way that pushes a logical conclusion: "Since he's garbage, it makes sense that you want to kill him." His Ni also gives him strategic vision, he sees exactly how to break Jongwoo. Te gives him cold rationality, he states things as "logical" facts. And Fi delivers personal attacks on Jongwoo's sense of identity, he makes Jongwoo question who he really is. An Fe user would manipulate based on collective emotion (guilt, obligation, belonging) like we'll see next with Johan.
