JYP is clearly smarter than average. Look at his English. He sometimes uses advanced vocabulary, yet people are out here looking down on him and I don’t understand why.

[@fearnotmyinsomniaonce4579]

​@@sanocerosI agree with you that being a visual isn't a skill or talent, but I wouldn't say that Kendall isn't as competent as the other girls because she has good stage presence/facial expressions which is one of the most important aspects of being a idol and she listened to JYP's criticism on how messy her dancing was in the 1st episode and improved in under a few days since that time.

[@fearnotmyinsomniaonce4579]

Since this an American girl group, I highly doubt that any of the members will have a visual position because the music industry over here doesn't put as much of an emphasis on visuals like the K-pop industry does. We care more about talent than anything else. Kendall would most likely be apart of the dance line as a lead dancer and just a sub-vocal, maybe even the center because she has the best sp/facial expressions out of everyone else.
