Chaeryeong was an AOTM before Ryujin... Also, I got into Itzy after Wannabe so my first impression is that Ryujin stood out the most. Chaeryeong got her spotlight too, Yuna, Lia... I don't think we should compare Yeji's situation to Karina's for example. Itzy's treatment might not be perfect, but it's not bad after all

[@alyasyarifah2317]

I got into Itzy because Ryujin drew me into the Wannabe choreo, so I'm with you there. I don't think Itzy has reached '--and friends' level.

[@martaszulca8588]

@Ellaf Fadl I agree with you! Btw I just pointed out that Chaer has her AOTM because the creator of the video said something along the lines that Yeji got her one first, then there was nothing for a long time, and then Ryujin had hers. Like they've completely missed out the fact that Chaeryeong does have her AOTM. Imo leaving Chaer's AOTM out doesn't help the unfair treatment by any means

[@kevinscheeseballhair9720]

For ITZY, it’s not really Yeji and friends because all members are really popular; Chaeryeong was the first to be on public TV before Yeji, Ryujin was on Mix Nine and also acted in the promo clips for BTS with Yuna, and all four of them were in Stray Kids (the reality show). And for (G)I-DLE, people shouldn’t really be saying Soyeon and friends because she is THE backbone for the group and does literally everything and has the most experience out of all members, so it’s quite fair

[@Lea-jm4wg]

damn you fotgot about Lia lmao

[@roguex9469]

@@Lea-jm4wg To be fair not a lot of exposure was given to Lia as JYP labeled her their "secret hidden weapon/card." And from the very beginning she got a lot of hate for her dancing which also isn't fair to her. She is working with 4 main dancers and all rounders while Lia's main training was vocals not dance. The fact that she makes the choreography look easy should be enough to make haters realize that she has so much potential and that the dances for Itzy are fast paced and hard to remain stable while singing and dancing yet Lia still keeps up.

I'm so confused on the ITZY part! Chaeryeong got AOTM too before Ryujin. Plus JYP doesn't decide that it's the studio. Their line distribution is really fair. And since Wannabe, Ryujin has clearly been the most popular member but the rest are still very famous and recognised. Chaeryeong was famous since she was 13 years old!! I really don't think anyone considers ITZY to be Yeji & Friends anymore.

[@moonlightespt3818]

It's because Chaeryeong/Yeji are the main dancers, they of course deserve an AOTM first but i wish they"ll give one to Yuna too

[@Dossy77]

Well for itzy, Yeji and Ryujin are the official dance break centers because of their unbeatable facial expressions and the reason why she got so many lines is because she is the groups core performer means she is very stable and well rounded.. And JYPE didn't choose yeji to be in the Studio choom artist of the month but the studio choom itself and 3 of the 5 members of itzy where gotten a chance too.. As for the outfits idk that one.. Let's just hope Chae got dance break

[@marjjopio5275]

[@Agatha-oh3gm]

@@hellno639 when it comes to facial exp, ryujin is the best in itzy, while yeji has the most consistent stage presence. Yuna's facial expression tends to be awkward and uncomfortable at times. And dancing is subjective, so you can't say that one dancer is better than the other. In your opinion, chae may be a better dancer, but yeji and ryujin's dance styles suit itzy's concept and choreo the best. Thus, they get more center time. However, i would also appreciate if jyp makes a cb for itzy that would best suit chae and give her a dance break

[@marybah1062]

But Yeji was chosen artist of the month first cuz she deserves it. Then Ryunjin appeared third after Chaeryong cuz they deserve it too. I don't think we can call ITZY "Yeji and Friends"

[@Agatha-oh3gm]

Yaaazz. It's because yeji and chae are the main dancers they would obviously be picked first. Aotm was exclusively for main dancers only, they made an exception for ryujin. Now tell me that members are not given equal promotion. I'm honestly tired of midzys victimizing the other members and making yeji look bad.

[@felixtastic6786]

I believe that at first when aespa debuted they were kind of a Karina and friends group (in black mamba and next level eras I think). But since savage to Dreams come true, I feel like each member is getting to shine in their own individual ways too. For example Giselle gets more rapping lines, ningning and winter also get more high notes which allows the spotlight to be on them too

[@ifyoudisagreewithmethenurs357]

[@vaanshichauhan9868]

@@kpopvibes9312 Idts. I never felt Karina and friends and I am following them from pre debut era. Yeah Karina was pushed bcs she was face of group before debut but from their debut era until now I never felt it as every member got time to shine in their own way

[@schiffer2386]

And even now with Karina and Winter being in a new group with other SM artists (which is a rotating unit kinda like NCT so it's probably gonna have Giselle and NingNing) Winter and NingNing we're the ones who performed the christmas song with other idols in the recent festival (idk what that event is called). Gigi and Ning2 were also both featured on songs with other SM artists in the new SMTOWN album so I think they're all promoted equally now.

[@tnlkb6115]

@@vaanshichauhan9868 same i think sm was pretty strategic of how promoting the girls. They had to push Karina a little bit because for the group to be successful, they needed a strong center. And for that people needed to know who she was. Legit every group from the big3 had that one member in their debut. Ningning was in sm rookie so she was already a well know trainee and didn't that much predebut promotion. Giselle was label as the new top sm female rapper and the fastest trainee. Then Winter was the hidden members that had no promotion which made her stand out.

Ye im a fan but never really felt like its karina and friends... Obviously sm push karina for more opportunities but when shes with her members she doesnt overshadow them to the point where it look like backups

The IVE one is so disappointing because IVE is such a new group that barely debuted a month ago, it’s definitely seeming like a Wonyoung and Yujin and friends, but I think it’s also seeming to seem like Wonyoung and Friends.. I think there was one stage when all the members wore black dresses except Wonyoung who wore a white dress, making the other girls look like her backup dancers, I think on the same stage I just talked about, all the members were in position on the stage meanwhile the cameras were on Wonyoung coming in, I’m afraid IVE is gonna go down the same way 4minute did

Yujin was also coming in from the other side of the stage during that performance. But here's the thing, as you mentioned, they have just debuted, of course the company will try to push the already famous ones to garner interest to the group speaking from business side of thing. Literally almost every group goes through this phase of having one member being pushed especially the visual or face of the group to get public's attention in one way or another. However, if this continues for more than a year, then yes, you may criticise and protest to the company. but as of now, the excessive highlighting of this issue is quite over the top.

no, aespa is not Karina and friends. The four girls are getting well marketed, Karina is the leader and center so it's natural she was pushed first, but now it's very balanced. I've never heard people call them like that before.

mia's hair is not a problem, back then e:u said that wanted to darker her hair and mia answered that she never wants to do it and wants to stay blonde

[@ickodelight5551]

The "Soyeon and friends" is different from the other groups. It's Soyeon who does everything, and no, SHE IS NOT SELFISH. She is smart. Everyone is saying "cube is trash", which is true. That's why she is trying her best to be recognised, and to showcase her producing skills & talent, so whenever cube makes mistake with her, every company will be fighting to get her. Which is very smart from her. Sm is literally like the uncle for Soyeon. G-idle wouldn't have even debuted without her, because Cube didn't make a debut song for them, and do you know who wrote the song for G-idle? - Soyeon did EVERYTHING. She even produced a whole mini-album for G-idle ( Senorita ), she choreographed, wrote, produced almost every single song from G-idle. G-idle is nothing without Soyeon ( btw this is not hate ). G-Idle has one of the best ( if not THE best ) discrography from 4th gen, and it's all thanks to HER. Imagine G-idle without Soyeon. I love all G-idle members, but without her they are nothing, I don't even think they would've even debuted without her, because I expect NOTHING from cube entertainment. Imagine producing a whole girl group in your twenties. And remember how Soojin was kicked from Cube? Even tho she was innocent? Now imagine cube kicking Soyeon. Every company ( mainly SM ) will fight for her. Who doesn't want a girl in her twenties, that can write, produce, choreograph AND RAP. So this is very understandable that she is giving herself the most lines. And the people who hate her and call her selfish, should stop doing it.

[@Kae_la]

And the members agree on choreography, and line distribution. The only thing unfair about their group are the lines. Something they all decide upon. Every member is successful right now (aside from soojin).

[@euneiros]

As an itzy stan and Yuna biased (😭💔) I can definitely say that in the beginning jyp promoted yeji a lot!! However Jyp has definitely started giving the girls a lot of solo projects and gives them equal promotions!! Im honestly really content with how he's handling them!! He gives them projects that carter to every girls skills and strong points ( Lia got to sing an OST! Yuna MC and center time!!, Yeji, Chaer and Ryu in dance performances!!) I think the discrimination comes from the uneven popularity amongst the girls. Yeji and ryujin undoubtedly are the most popular members rn by a lot and all their projects get a lot of hype while the rest of the girls aren't that hyped so a lot of their projects go a bit unnoticed by the general public!!

[@angelaz2576]

aaaah I'm also super Yuna biased!!! I agree with everything you said :) and sadly with popularity comes hate. Hope that Yeji wouldn't care too much about the haters :/

[@justmyedits6596]

I think I've seen articles about Yuna a lot lately on her visuals. And she's been given a lot of MC roles. So JYP now knows how to manage Itzy ! But I would say that Lia and Chae are not as popular as the other members and Lia's treatment's a bit worser than the others. She had no pre-debut exposure: Stray Kids survival: Yeji, Ryujin, Yuna, Chae Acting: Ryujin (BTS' high light reel. Kingdom(movie)). Yuna (BTS' high light reel) Shows: Yeji - The fan Ryujin - Mixnine (Won 1st place. YG even offered her a trainee contract) Chae - Kpop stars with her sister. SIXTEEN All we had of pre-debut Lia was a YT video of her singing and a photo of her selfie with her foot.

[@multi_fan1492]

For the Soyeon part.. I'm not even mad about how she has more stuff to do or promotions than the members or what delulu haters claim. SHE is the backbone, leader, main rapper and producer of the group. Literally produced THE best songs and my personal favorites like Lion, Oh my god, and Hwaa. I also heard that the members choose the lines they sing or parts they get? But I'm not entirely sure about that Edit: ok so now I noticed my weird wordings here but I'd like to clarify here that I do not agree on the group being called as "Soyeon and friends" each member has their own charms and talents that contributes to the group's success that we do see because ALL of them have exposure and promotions done as a group or as individuals. So none of them are getting ignored. Oh and Soyeon isn't the only one who produces their group's songs too, Other members also produces their songs and partake in the group's songs too(I know that if not all then some members produce their own songs and partake in the group's) I just said that because the songs I stated above are my personal favorites Another edit: Since people are saying I'm fine with the members getting 'ignored' I'm gonna say more. In my comment I said that I'm not mad about her getting the promotions she deserves. I was only saying that those promotion she has are well deserved but Cube decided to be unfair to every member. I only said I'm not mad that she has those solo promotions. Cube is a big but shitty company that doesnt know how to manage their idols well so that their charms can be shown to the public and that they can build their fanbase, reputation and popularity for the obvious bias and discrimination towards other idols. In my comment i stated that I wasn't mad about her getting so many promotions because each of those she deserves. I'm not saying that the other members should be "ignored" they all should have the promotions, activities and the attention they all deserve from their company. (So like Pnation when will (G)-idleget rescued ?)

Heck, I only ever only remembered Jiyoon because she was my bias(back then she was the only female idol I knew that had a deeper voice) and Gayoon because of her voice as well that her name ended in "yoon" so due to Jiyoon I remembered Gayoon as well.

[@zexadviento7899]

in ITZY's case, I don't think it would be “Yeji and Friends" because they got to shine individually before debut. Chaer being on sixteen and ryujin on mixnine, etc. In the case of their outfits, take not shy for example where they all got “experimental" outfits. The line distributions are quite fair, if you think of it as the bsides give other members more lines. Chaer and Ryu gets to be AOTM as well, and chaer would occasionally get dance breaks on special stages like year end shows and award shows.

I think those three should get the most center time, EU should have a dance break sometimes and Mias less lines, but still usually the most, given her position. Tbh I think EU shouldn’t be the main dancer together with Mia since Mia is a much better dancer according to dancers analysis (It’s on KZbin) but since the company made her one she should be treated accordingly

Aespa? I don't think so? As a my, I don't see there's favoritism in aespa because all 4 members shine differently. Ningning got a lot more lines in their song, and that's understandable because she's the main vocal. She's also cute, pretty and sexy at the same time🥰 Winter got the second member who got a lot of lines, she's main vocal material and very pretty VISUAL. She also ranked 1st in GGBR twice. She got her 1st solo performance in mama 2020. Karina is the center, fotg, visual leader, so, understandably, she got a lot more screentime. She's also the leader so she's the one who should talk first. Her unique visuals always shook knetz and makes her popular. Giselle is one of the great 4th gen rappers, she has a great flow and style. Producers also let her write her parts. She's the English speaker in the group that's why she got a lot more screentime when they are overseas. SM gives the aespa members the same attention. Their outfits in mv and performances are always balanced, the 4 of them shine in their costumes. SM also let the 4 of them to collab with their seniors.

There is no point of group if only one member gets all the most outstanding lines and screen time (no hate to Mia).more to the company and the producers. If other members vocals don't fit the lines ,then im sorry either debut solo artists , or make songs FOR the group so that each member can showcase their talents......

I disagree with the aespa thing. Karina is the leader of the group, the face and center of the group. It is inevitable that it should be in the foreground. But there is no exaggeration in this. As the SMtown concert approached, SM recruited Karina and Winter into the temporary group GOT, and gave Ning and Giselle collaborations with other SM artists. In addition, Karina is a leader who tries to highlight her group members at every opportunity. You can tell that he is not a stagnant aespa member, since all members are in the top ten in the monthly reputation rankings.

tbh I disagree with itzy, yeji was not the only one who was revealed before debut for an example ryujin was a famous face among people too, appearing on bts's love yourself and becoming 1st place on mixnine. Yeji is not always standing in the middle unless its her part to sing in the song and we should all know that yeji is one of the vocalist in itzy so she obviously gets a higher chance of singing the chorus or the pre-chorus and those are mostly the longest part of the song. And for the kitten moves, y'all must be really dumb to think that they added it to give her more spotlight, its literally because they were matching it with the lyrics of the song, y'all act like she's was carrying a freaking tiger in their mv. And don't get me started on the aotm, y'all really gotta do your research, yeji and chaeryeong are the main dancers of itzy and not only that jyp doesn't pick who gets to go or not, studio choom does.

ITZY: "Yeji and friends"...are you kidding me?

They all shine in their own way and if you follow the shows they go on(or even JYP's "reality shows" of the groups) you would see how each member has their spotlight. Who the heck thinks it is "Yeji and friends"? ¯\_ಠ_ಠ_/¯ (G)I-DLE: ...NOPE.Nuhu, no way someonenis trying to spread this narrative. Soyeon gets indeed a bit more of fame but that's because she *MAKES* IDLE's songs, she is the literal reason why they debuted at the time frame they did and why they were able to consistently make comebacks after comebacks(until Soojin's scandal). She takes into consideration the opinions and thoughts of the girls, they all worked together in every part of their comebacks, that's a legit team effort.But of course a team always needs a leader, someone able to focus a team's skill towards their work and be able to be a bridge between the team and the higher ups. Soyeon is that.If anything, although she is younger than some members, she is the one that cares for them, she always took into consideration Shuhua's unwillingness or fear of singing too much(probably because she feared mixing up the lyrics due to her-back then- lack of proficiency in Korean...or lack of confidence in her language skills).If Shuhua wanted to have more lines, she would, Soyeon ain't a dictator, she knows what's like to be scared and uncertain due to her past in survival shows.

They had experinces as mcs even during izone and they're naturally great with words. So in my opinion it's fine on that one. For the studio choom one. Don't Studio Choom choose the artist themselves? I mean.... They're not Studio Choom under JYP ent. right? And why must the gap between when Yeji was AOTM and when Ryujin was AOTM be counted anyways. There are other artists from other groups and companies too. In terms of Soyeon. She's just too talented. She's a producer, a songwriter, a singer etc. She just does a lot. As far as I see it, she contributed a lot to her group. I won't complain. Although I agree that everyone in all groups deserve equal treatment from the company, we can't forget fans biasness too. Sometimes when a member is more popular or biased they stand out more easily. And the company wpuld make use of their popularity, won't they if it clearly would benefit them? Also, just because someone is the centre, or the main vocal, it does not mean they must always have the most lines in songs or always be in the centre. The parts should be divided depending on the concept of the songs and capability of each member (vocally, dance, rap, stage presence, etc.). Generally, people will still find fault in what they wish to see fault in. This is just my opinion. No hate was intended. No hate should be given or spread to anyone.

I honestly don't think itzy's case is as bad as the other groups in this list.

[@staypinkYgee]

Not only fans but companies should also treat the members equally💫

[@lxveyoongi6552]

about YEJI AND FRIENDS i dont think it sits well with me , allow me to explain. Although ryujin is the center she still stood out and got a fair amount of center position and got her aotm , not only that she got her best recognition on wannabe comeback and also when she was found on bts highlight reel and also known as an actress , dont forget her acting seen on mama. coming to chaeryeong she was quite popular when she appeared on the show sixteen with twice and also got the aotm not long after yeji's , she is also well known as chaeyeongs sister and get her own stage with her and has her center of attention on the recent comebacks like mitm hip swaing part and is getting dancebreaks on award shows and rmber the pole dancing ,she was also give the mc oppotunity and also got the stage with yuna that cover dance i dot rmmber . when we go towards yuna , when she appeared on bts highlight with ryujin she got her attention aswell , not to mention she is also very well treated on her visuals and body and her era on icy although yeji got her dancebreak everyones eyes were only on yuna cuz of her bubbly and cute stage presence, with her loaded charisma and also cute side she is appreciated to pull any concept of and she was given the rap in twenty as an opportunity which only made her more well known as a rapper and fans want more , she also appeared on that fairy stage with shuhua , wonyoung and etc also on the stage with chaeryeong , she also had her oppotunities on mc's etc, now coming to lia she is very pretty and cute which ppl get intruged towards her she got her stage with han and bangchan a while ago and also is appreciated with her vocals , she is very well adored and got 2 staged with stray kids , people in inteviews always or usually put her in the center as she is very good at english also with her cute personality ppl tend to like her alot , she is also fairy appreciated on her stage presence and her own type of aura , she can pull of any concept and her figure intruiging ppl , lets not forget her dalla dalla teaser where everyone thought she was the visual. in the combeack not hsy and after that she was highly praised for improving her dancing and got her centers and bridges on mv's . ITZY IS A FAIR GROUP AND IT BLENDS WELL WITH ONE ANOTHER ON THE POINT NO ONE IS DISSAPOINTED WITH MV YOU GUYS GET AND THE OPPOTUNITIES THE MEMBERS GET BY THEMSELVES ARE ENOUGH TO TELL YOU YEJI IS ALSO A PART OF ITZY AND THE LEADER , THEIR OUTFITS DOSENT REALLY REFLECT ON THEIR REPUTAIONS IF RYUJIN HAS THE BEST OUTFIT ON THIS STAGE THEN CHAERYEONG HAS THE BEST ON THE OTHER , IF LIA HAS A RED LIP THEN YEJI HAS AN EXPREIMENTAL HAIRSTYLE , ITS VERY DIVERSE AND BALANCED MAYBE ONE OR 2 ARE COMPRIMISABLE NOT TO TURN IT INTO A CONTROVERCIES. BASED ON THE VISUALS... ITZY IS NOW KNOWN AS A VISUAL GROUP AND HATE ON CHAERYEONGS VISUAL GOT SO TONED DOWN SHE HAS HER OWN FANBASE SAME GOES FOR LIA. NOW ITS ITZY AND MIDZY I HOPE YOU GUYES ARE STAISFIED GOODBYE , IM SORRY FOR WRITING SO MUCH.

I dont agree with the "Soyeon and friends". Soyeon is literally the pillar of (G)I-DLE. Whiteout her, we wouldn't get the bops that gidle produced. And all beacuse of Soyeon. Other members also part take in producing too. Soyeon is suitable. She is the leader. She guided the whole group. So it's not fair to call Soyeon and friends. And cube is pushing her because she is talented and smart and knows what to do! So "Soyeon and friends" is totally ridiculous!

[@daniellanikolaou8394]

you are spreading misinformation about everglow and it will cause mia to get hate. mia is the only main vocalist of everglow. sihyeon is a lead vocalist. and mia has explained that she doesn’t like dark hair colours on herself, therefore it’s not because “yuehua wants her to stand out” or whatever u said. do research before you make videos like this that may start a hate train on mia. she doesn’t deserve any of this, and although it isn’t mia’s fault that she gets the most lines in most songs, she still gets continuous hate towards her and videos like this with misinformation aren’t helping. and i’m not trying to be mean but it is tiring hearing people speak bad on mia when this isn’t her fault at all. mia is an ace and yuehua realizes that so she gets the most lines, and that’s completely normal for a main vocalist, and when she doesn’t even get the most lines people still seem to have a problem with her. AND when people use “mia & friends” as a comeback or to be funny, it ISNT funny because mia knows all about the hate she gets and that saying will make her feel terrible. so stop saying it. it isn’t funny. leave mia alone.

[@silmashabiha6508]

as a pro midzy who really looked and followed itzy from debut until now, I disagree with “yeji and friends” called…no it’s not. TRUST ME

[@ronc9413]

Karina and Yeji are more noticeable because of their unique looks (face). Soyeon is the leader, writes/produces most of (G)I-DLE’s songs. Other aspects (like the clothing), I didn’t “catch” that it was favoritism. Like Yeji’s outfit with the giant cutout in shape of a heart, I just thought of it as bad styling.

[@marcerieti_exo-l]

I honestly think in itzy's case Ryujin is way more popular at lease overseas.

[@abbyk6079]

It wasn't 8 months between Yeji and the next member for AOTM, Chaeryoung came before Ryujin.

[@user-my1zq8kj4s]

This channel gives so many wrong information 💀

[@shydoorness]

Can't help it, soyeon is the brain of the group. The ultimate genius of kpop today.

[@suyeesia7770]

Yes

[@kessi4946]

do you really want to tell me that dyeing your hair is favoritism? mia is the MAIN VOCAL, MAIN DANCER and she also knows how to rap, you wish she would stay behind without moving? my girl doesn't train to exhaustion even hurt to you always bring this stupid narrative of mia & friends. it's EVERGLOW. got get some help and leave her alone weirdos.

[@morenr7983]

NO HATE but why create a group when giving the most outstanding role to just one member ? The purpose of a group is litterally not existent

[@quynhanhnguyen9186]

I don't agree on Itzy, I genuinely think they all got to shine with very fair distribution. I never noticed anyone standing out more than the other in general, not to mention they're such a Monster package of a well-rounded, talented group😊

[@eoeocxcx]

Tbh I don't think ITZY is as serious as other groups. The first member I knew in ITZY was Ryujin , after that Yeji and Yuna (Take note that I wasn't a Kpop fan in 2019). Though Yeji might be promoted a little bit more by the company, I do think the other members do get their equivalent promotes such as MC-ing . I don't stan their group but sadly I do think there are 2 members that doesn't really get much attention.

[@naledimosikara7861]

Why don't you Stan itzy?🥺 As a midzy, yes I do agree with you when u say that sometimes itzy does give off "yeji and friends" vibe, I also don't think it's THAT big of a deal

5:13 in jyp, center’s role are not the same with those SM and produce groups. Instead of being the center of attention, center is the one who can bring the best version of the group. Just look at twice (although nayeon is the center, ppl also notice the other members almost equally) 6:02 Yeji is the most stable when singing and dancing at the same time. That’s why she got the most line distributions. 6:24 chaeryoung and ryujin also become the artist of the month, who was the first is not important 6:39 what I notice, chaer and yuna usually got the most beautiful outfit. Experimental cloth is not a good thing, I’m glad that yeji could pull it off

[@teoyeekeecchms6480]

in my opinion, all rounders like mia, soyeon and yeji should become a soloist instead, to avoid people complaining about them standing out too much

[@taylorswiftismybae]

mia’s main vocalist tho, sihyeon is the lead vocalist
