Another thing with the maknaes, many maknaes are actually the oldest of their siblings.Obviously they won’t act like a child all of a sudden.

[@TanishaRoy171]

Period it!

[@loveyloveydovey]

right

[@legallyyblonde]

exactly! one example i can think of is leeseo. shes the maknae in ive but she has a younger sibling. if you follow their content, there are moments where she takes care of the other members. in award shows, she kept on holding in her tears, so she can take care of others especially their leader yujin who cried a lot. another fun fact is that yujin is the leader of ive but shes actually the maknae of her family! this makes yujin and leeseo's dynamic special because sometimes the one who takes care of the other switches between them. it's so cute.

the maknae thing is so true. maknae just means the member is the youngest, its not a personality type. sure eunchae is has a fun bright personality and I understand why people like it, but that's not because shes "the maknaest maknae", its because its her. maknae is not an archetype so it makes no sense to compare her and say, leesoo for their personalities and say that "eunchae is a better maknae"

[@TanishaRoy171]

I can bet if Eunchae was not the maknae and either the second or third oldest then people would have said, "She's too childish for her age." It's really suck how people judge a person based on their ages and not personality.

I absolutely adore Eunchae, but I'm really tired of people using her personality to bash Leeseo. I don't follow IVE all that closely, but as far as I can tell, everything she's ever been in a "controversy" for is no big deal, normal for her age, or not even her fault. People need to let idols have their own personalities and accept that if they're literally growing up on camera, there's going to be record of them doing awkward things and that's normal. I can think of fifty things I did when I was younger that were 10x more "cringe" than anything she's ever done, but I had the benefit of not being judged online by a bunch of strangers for it.

[@jypswife3457]

I think the reason why people still talk about Wonyoungs "favoritism" is because of the popularity difference between her and her members. As a non dive but casual listener I still see Wonyoung as the face of the group but that isn't because of SSE pushing her more it's because she's been in the public eye longer and was able to make a name for herself before the group debuted.

[@2FullMoons]

The maknae one PERIOD! And I LOVE your last point about established groups and chart performance because I agree. Imagine acting like Twice needs to still prove themselves chart wise... or BTS, or EXO or ANY of those already established acts that have already done the damn thing. From nr. 1 singles to daesangs, millions of albums sold and stadium concerts, IMAGINE acting like these groups ‘fell off’ just because the general public doesn’t show the same kind of interest in them. Because chart performance, especially in SK has very much to do with the interest the general public has in an act, a fandom cannot carry alone chart success considering how the charts work there + as their fans grow older, they don’t care about streaming and buying the same way as when they were young, they start simply enjoying the group, they leave the ‘competitive’ spirit behind as they mature. However, losing the GP’s interest is VERY normal for an artist that’s been succesful for a very long time, at some point they will move into the second phase of their career where it’s mostly their established fanbase that will carry their career further. There’s NOTHING embarrassing about that, every musical act suffers that at some point, not just in kpop. So please, just stfu and show some respect to the artists that came before and stop comparing them to the newer groups just because they chart better. It’s NORMAL for that to happen, how else would new groups make themselves seen if the ones that came before don’t move to the side? There’s nothing shameful or sad about that, it’s normality.

[@soft4taeng]

Especially because some of these groups are no longer active, for example BigBang, or are mostly active as soloists, for example exo, snsd, shinee, so of course the general public will move onto newer and more active groups. Also, like you mentioned, the age of the fandom plays a huge role because most people that stan 2nd gen or early 3rd gen groups are probably adults with a job (maybe a family too) and it's no surprise they will not be as active as teenager stans that follow 4th gen artists. It's not that deep but kpop stans somehow just don't seem to get it...

[@2FullMoons]

@@soft4taeng exactly! If you live on the internet things feel timeless, no doubt people get sh*t confused with real life. BTS is not gonna be where they were when Dynamite came out which WAS 3 YEARS AGO!!!

[@feoln6359]

Idk anything about those chart, idk if my fav have high charts or not. I'm just waiting for them to drop an album so I have new music and I'm good. But one thing, idk how charts works. But fandoms do mass buying, mass streaming things to make songs chart so I don't think those charts are genuine. The mismatch between quality of the song and chart must be embarrassing since it's all about numbers not about music in a lot of times.

[@babycherry8103]

I honestly always found this maknae thing cringy af, especially that we have now 09 liners that are about to début so this hype you get for being the youngest is temporary and might give you an identity crises once you will have younger people around. Remember how people were obsessed about Tzuyu and Yuna for being 15-16 but almost no one cared about them when they turned 19, because they only attracted à fanbase that loved them for being underage, which is à thing that wont last, especially that now groups début every 2 months so it wont be too long before euncha and leeseo will be among the oldest idols in the industry. Remember how 03 liners were seen like babies not even 2 years ago but now they are older than many unnie lines groups.

wonyoung one so true. when I saw I AM the first time, I giggled because I knew many people were gonna claim it as the best IVE song because wonyoug got the least lines lol. eventhough she never really got the most lines in any songs💀. also the way everyone made kitsch seem like wonyoung was snatching lines from liz when it was yujin and gaeul with most lines. and acting like wonyoung took all the screentime from Liz when it was clearly Rei's era (kitsch main slayerrr). the same way people made gaeul having no lines in After like a wonyoung thing. at this point, wonyoung could be excluded from the group and people will still complain about wonyoung overshadowing her members. I mean wonyoung and friends would be understandable if she was the only one who got lines or if she was the only one in centre. but she doesn't. and her different outfits are mostly result of her MC activities (and also the way people like to ignore when other members get different outfit lol) . but none is the case. I personally as a normal person see IVE as IVE and these haters see wonyoung and wonyoung all the time. listen her voice all the time. yall goofy💀 anyways stream I AM because liz main vocal slays this song! tired of yall trying to make liz a victim of wonyoung's evilness. she is one of the popular members of IVE with higher amount of lines in overall discography. admire her and her potential without making her seem like she's overshadowed when she's not💀

What cringes me the most is when people say someone is better because they’re acting their age. What does it even mean to act your age? Personality is the main factor that influences people’s behavior. Sure, your age can play a role in how you’re gonna react to certain things, but not every 16 year old is the same, just like not every 60 year old is the same. Even when two people share the same age, they’re still gonna act differently if they share different personalities. There isn’t a right or wrong way to be a certain age.

About the solo stanning, I totally agree people seem to think solo staning is the same as being an akgae(toxic solo stanning/hating on other members) which it definitely isn't. For instance armys keep bringing up the time Taehyung said "please love the 7 of us equally". Yeah he did say that to prevent any akgae behavior within the fandom but that doesn't mean you are obligated to pretend you love each & everyone of them equally even if you actually don't love them the same. Hell I've seen many so called "armys" using taehyung's quote but when it comes to taehyung himself they disregard it completely. It's better to bias people as you please while being respectful to other members than pretending you love them all when that's actually not the case.

[@miudollse]

that maknae thing is SOO true. Eunchae is my bias in le sserafim , but I don’t bias her because she “acts like a maknae” like what is acting like a maknae even supposed to mean?!! Maknae: The Youngest . How is being a Maknae have ANY connection to someone’s personality . Tzuyu is the maknae of Twice , but she doesn’t “act like a maknae” ?! You hype Eunchae up for being the maknae, even tho soon she will also be 19 or 20 years old. She won’t stay 16 forever, she won’t act chaotic forever, she won’t be “cute” forever , people need to understand that. Maknae is not a personality type, it’s not a position , it’s just by age. And what’s so funny is that if She was just maybe 2 years older, people would call her “too childish” . Eunchae is funny , and cute , I like how she acts, but people always use Eunchae “acting like a maknae” to bash IVE leeseo. They call LeeSeo childish,cringe,unfunny. They call Eunchae cute,chaotic,funny. They always use Eunchae’s personality to bash someone else. Leeseo and Eunchae are like the same age. LeeSeo acts sometimes more mature, then people call her “not acting her age” so She then might act a little bit more chaotic and cute, they then say “act more mature” If you are going to use Maknae as a personality , atleast figure out what you want to be that “maknae personality”.

[@selsseong]

All of these are so on point tbh especially "the big 4 privilege". i kinda feel pissed when stans say "so and so is only big because of this company" because imo, debuting in a big company is really only relevant in the first year or so because it just gets your name out there. yeah sure, stans mightve checked out the group simply because they were debuting under the big 4, but didn't they stay for the group themselves? in fact, isn't that how stanning works in the first place? you check out a group, and then stay for the idols and music. if you stan a group just because they debuted under the big 4 and you actually don't give a damn about them, what's the point in the first place?

[@Lima_Beans]

exactly 👏 ive said this forever but big 4 privilege doesnt mean youll be a top group forever, it means you will never be unknown, and i dont think a lot of kpop stans understand the difference

[@n1ghtflight]

..isn’t that the whole point? other groups don’t have the privilege of being able to get their name out there. also are we forgetting how rich big companies are? they can afford to give their groups 2/3 comebacks a year, a LOT of promotion, the best outfits and makeup artists and etc. small groups don’t have that privilege and even if they have the same or better quality music then a big 4 group they’ll never be as famous or get as much recognition as idols under the big 4. same with talent, there are so many talented nugu idols that don’t get popular because they come from small companies. so yes, most big 4 groups ARE as famous as they are because they come from a big company. big 4 groups also don’t have to deal with the uncertainty that comes with being under an unknown company. don’t get me wrong, big 4 privilege isn’t a bad thing at all but i think people need to stop denying that it exists

[@Useri77u7u7]

The problem is that i feel like solo stanning AND respecting the members at the same time doesn’t usually happen, bc why would u Stan only one of them (by Stan I mean watch content, make videos, etc ykwim) when there’s the whole group? Right, bc you don’t like the other members or maybe you just don’t vibe with them. But if you keep seeing content of the member u solo stan, ur bound to look at the other members and then most of the time there’s only 2 scenarios. You become interested and Stan the whole group OR you hate on them to praise your favourite because you can’t stand them 🤷‍♀️

[@thepersonyouwanttoknow3747]

Solo stanning seems only fun until stans start comparing the members. If a member gets more lines in a song or more screentime or have more solo activities or gets more promotion (according to solo stans) , those solo stans start hating or attacking the other members out of jealousy & blaming the company for mistreating their bias. And if one of the members go solo and don't really get the same results. as the popular member got during their solo. These solo stans start blaming people who Stan the entire group when it's not their fault. That's because solo stans of the other members didn't pay much attention to that member. Some solo stans that Stan popular members go as far as to make their bias leave the group in the hopes that theirr bias will be even more successful.Solo stanning does not really work for groups ,it just brings just hate to the other members.Even If you say I respect other members, a time would come when you"d snap. Having a bias is ok but going full on solo doesn't really work for groups who are practically together 24/7 and group music.

[@lix73]

Thank You for saying about the Maknae thing. Everyone's personality differs from how they grew up, their mentality and a lot of other stuff. I am a year younger than Eunchae and when people say that kids should be like her (cheerful and energetic all the time etc....) I feel quite sad. I often think how I would have been like her if it wasn't for all the trauma shit I went through. I was told by my parents "you are 16, you are all grown up and you are not a kid anymore. You should do everything on your own.......". No age has an ideal personality on how you should act and there shouldn't be.

[@TEAM__POSEID0N]

About the big company "privilege" thing, it's always funny how some people think that groups from small companies automatically deserve more because they don't have big company privilege. It's ridiculous because they seem to think that the members of groups in big companies were born in the big company, like a rich kid is born into a rich family. In reality, most of the artists who debut in the big companies got into the big company through hard work and winning in very highly competitive audition processes. Where do the people who couldn't compete successfully to get into big companies go? They go to small companies, generally speaking. So basically thinking that a small company group deserves more because they don't have "big company privilege" is like saying that an Olympic athlete with a bronze medal deserve more because she doesn't have "gold medal privilege". It's like saying that an athlete on a major league sports team has "big team privilege" and an athlete on a minor league sports team deserves more because they don't have "big team privilege". You can't reasonably talk about privilege, without first talking about how much work and talent it took for an athlete to get accepted by a major league team in the first place. And you can't reasonably talk about "big company privilege" of a Kpop group or idol, without first considering how much talent, hard work and competition they had to go through to get accepted into the big company in the first place.

[@2FullMoons]

Now see... I kinda have to disagree. Getting in the big4 is NOT just because those idols are the best in the industry as you make it seem. Some of the idols in the big companies also have mediocre or bellow skills while a lot of idols in smaller companies have excellent skills too. It’s not just about talent and work ethic to get in the big4, there are other factors too. A lot of these idols also get scouted by agencies therefore they sign with them right away, they don’t audition to all of them. And even the ones that did audition and didn’t pass at a big4 agency can still sign with a smaller one and improve tremendously to the point that they can out-perform some big4 idols in the end. It’s more nuanced then how you make it seem.

“They aren’t gonna jump around like fucking crack heads all the time” I LAUGHED SO HARD

[@small_dropin_the_big_ocean995]

1. True. People still debate on this topic. Can't believe it. 2. I had no idea Maknae has became a personality trait. Was I too out of Kpop recently or was busy stanning groups who are old or not even popular with chill fandoms? Can't believe there are actual people hating on maknaes for not acting silly or childish. My goodness. 3. Wait? Why? I guess they're too conscious of their group's own privileged status given how big4 groups get instant attention but fans want underdog story. Well, believe me, I sometimes like songs from groups by small companies and my heart bleeds stanning an actual group (bias group) from small company since they keep getting shitty promotions and management. 😢 4. Don't know about it. I have seen people say their music and concept are all a mess. 5. Agree about Wonyoung. I am not a stan, just listen casually but I keep seeing articles about her getting hate all the time. She is the face of group, what they even expect? That's how originally Kpop worked in the past with face of group position. 6. Imagine believeing charting is absolutely necessary to prove you're an artist or relevant. Chart = People listening to that song currently. And an artist is an artist because fans listen to them and support them. Older groups don't need to do that. They got fans and that is how a life of an artist is.

its crazy to me that a lot of wonyoungs biggest haters are ive stans. the calls come from inside the house. without her love dive would not have been the title track of their comeback , we wouldnt have gotten an amazing song like mine , etc… the girl has an amazing ear for music due to being in the industry so long , and having a musical background since childhood before she was a trainee. she has the BEST stage presence in fourth gen (i mean shes a former izone member) , and is literally the sweetest. kpop stans are weird , they treat her the same way they treated jennie.

[@soft4taeng]

Personally speaking, i've never seen a real dive hating on Wonyoung, it was always some token stans that pretended to be dives but never really cared about any of the girls. With that being said, i absolutely agree with you, she contributes so much to the group in terms of song writing, stage presence and personality. I could never imagine IVE without her. Kpop stans really have to open their eyes and realize that she is not the untalented girl they're making her out to be.

[@nqzz111]

you’re litterally the only ktuber with common sense I’ve ever seen

[@AZNTAA3]

1. agree with all your points here. 2. Big 4 companies do have privilege , stans of big 4 groups especially company stans gotta stop trying to prove their faves do not have an advantage due to their company. More likely to have company stans, bigger budget, more opportunities, etc. That's not even a bad thing tbh, but when some company stans try to drag groups from smaller labels by inventing shit like Kakao privilege (note: doesn't exist, Kakao M has subsidiaries but labels are autonomous for better or worse). Like there isn't collaboration and interactions for example between Starship and High Up, IST, etc. just cause they are under Kakao the way there is between HYBE and their labels. 3. Kep1er's success was hampered definitely by the music not being received well (I do like some of their songs though). Though much worrying trend for them is the album sales being far less than debut which may be due to the conflicts in the fandom alienating solo stans and discouraging possible fans. Wadada actually charted as well so there was attention early on, and highest album sales was with their debut album. 4. Maknaes are different, no such thing as a maknae personality. Think though its because some people hate Leeseo because of whatever stupid delusion they have on their minds. One of the worst things was getting into Kpop twitter last year and finding out all the shit people have been throwing at IVE (IVE fan and IZ*ONE btw).

[@2FullMoons]

Tell me about ittt I started lurking on twitter a few months ago and while I knew IVE was getting a lot of hate since the award seasons, I had NO IDEA how much and how horrible some people are to them over there. The dive community on twitter is very small nowadays, I saw some dives saying how a lot of them left when the hate train was in full swing because it was so toxic to be on there during those times.

The thing about eunchae is people just love her bcs she's just being herself. When sh gets so many love people from other fandom, specially dive themselves likes to bring eunchae into 'the best maknae' discussion. Eunchae just living her life with people who adore her (the members, her closest people. The fans adore her bcs of her. And then other fandom butt in saying how one is better than others. Please god, they were just kids! Leave them alone. If you seen many discussion about it, there you'll found how dive is the one who like to bring this matter. It was such a hillarious thing to me. They didn't blame people for hating leeseo (all of sudden she fall off love, your typical internet people) then instead of defend her they choose to broke athor idol all of sudden? They says 'it's not fair how people love eunchae!! She never gets bullied! It's unfair that she suddenly received loves!" What the heck? Of course i don't agree with the hate that woonyoung and leeseo is getting. They can act however they want, and actually i thought they are cute when doing cute stuff. But it was not other's idol problem! I think people who hate on woonyoung and leeseo and dive themselves is no different kind of people. They just the same people whose a part of different sides. It was kind of sad, since this kind of fans would ruin their idol.

[@fie97]

I actually think that eunchae might fall off love too someday. You can't just being the loved one all the time. Look at many 'national crush/national sister' celebrity you knew (who were adored by a whole nation). IU fall off love couple times, and there is suzy too. They just doing nothing amd suddenly gets hate for how they gain weight, their loose weight, their album concept, their love life. It's just so fu*ked up. I'm just praying when people fall out of love to eunchae, she was already mature enough (mentally and phisically) to not be bothered by sich nonsense.

what i think what happened with the maknae especially with eunchae was that since garam left, and there was this random burst of needing to give her sometime to be special because everyone else was special in some way as in chae and kkura are both ex-izone; yunjin was in produce, is american/speak eng, and main vocalist; then kazuha was a professional ballerina. So Eunchae was the only one not "special" (aside from garam but her scandal gave her the spotlight) The train of best maknae never really exist until eunchae bc people needed something to brag about her.

honestly, the only one i disagree a bit on is the last one. maybe the charts don't take away the relevance of groups that have already established a name for themselves (bts, blackpink, twice, etc.) but it also shows how well they hold up domestically and internationally; after all the charts represent what people are liking at the moment (not counting mass buying and playlists left overnight to increase streaming). look at beyoncé who released a song ("break my soul") 25 years into her career and still made it to the top of the billboard hot 100. i agree that maybe for big acts "they're not that important" but charts show if they're still welcome by the general public (as well as being an "achievement") and that's something.

[@Golden_kook]

actually beyonce suffers from it as well , many people claimed when she win the grammy this year that they were not even aware she released a song . and its totally normal she has already gained that level of success doesnt need to prove anyone her power .

[@TanishaRoy171]

Actually SK's public is way too impatient in terms of music. They just move on from a particular group way too fast and they prefer to listen to rookies nowadays just because they have released songs recently. All the relevant groups like BTS, Blackpink, Twice, Exo, Big Bang are still the names that come into people's minds outside Korea when they think about 'Kpop'. And not to mention that these groups happen to top iTunes charts and barge into Spotify playlists very fastly. I think that's enough to show their relevancy.

[@via45]

Kind of agree too. People like to dismiss these charts becuase they don't like the idea of their favs not being as sucessu6in their home country of Korea. Charts also see if they are getting new fans. Like my ults Monsta X. Even tho they are a established 7 year group, they don't chart well from the beginning but every single year they have grown and got better and better at charts. It should how they are still relavent music wise alone. Not just in fame.

[@orion5445]

​@@TanishaRoy171 You can't call them impatient. I've said this once before but I'll say it again. Kpop in Korea is different from Kpop in the rest of the world. In Korea all these music shows and MVs are shown on their local tv channels so Kpop fans in Korea will be exposed to more than one group. Outside of Korea we can only see them on the internet and bc it's the internet we will mostly watch the group that we know. So when new groups debut they get attention. Rn Kpop is in the 4th gen and groups in this generation are more active than previous gen groups. So they will be more seen on public tv than older groups.

[@TanishaRoy171]

Like I personally couldn't get into set me free pt2 because the amount of autotune but enjoyed the rest of the songs from the album. I also couldn't get into hoseok's new album but that's a personal preference. I recently saw people upset that some solo projects aren't doing as well as others and again that's just preference that doesn't make the song bad and numbers aren't proof of quality.

You're speaking pure facts on all of these

[@ocaortega69]

Always be reminded that Eunchae is also an introvert in a group of introverts. LSF is just such a home that Fimmies are so comfortable to show their bubbliness and charms like Eunchae does and that what makes her SPECIAL and loved!

[@Lizardlarry2000]

NUMBER 2 YES. I literally got into an argument with someone who said she is the best maknae cause she “acts” like one. Like wtf

[@chuubry]

did you starve yourself for a week because you ATE SO BAD !!!

[@_Galahad]

FACTS tysm for this 😭😭

[@cosmixexy]

Even your robot voice sounds so done😭👍

[@zb1nctenha]

i agree with the first opinion so much. i’m a monbebe and when wonho left i was sad but also hopeful he would release some solo tracks. but since he debuted as a soloist his music is just not my cup of tea. also wanna one, the only people i listen to after they disbanded is jihoon and daniel. ofc i also listen to cix and nu’est but the others who did solo careers as well i don’t pay attention to much.

[@kiymila9111]

Lmao exactly I think these haters are just obsessed with womyoung 😂😂

[@Hellokitty_391]

They ALWAYS there whenever miss girlie posted on IG. Like are you a fan or smth 🫢

[@bonchaemanchae]

well i understand the maknae thing cuz ppl be comparing other maknaes to eunchae and inviting hate on her but wtf is wrong w the thumbnail. eunchae is VERY special. imagine debuting so young in a successful group, being recognized as one of iconic & most loved idols of 4th gen rn, being mubank mc and having her own show in less than a year after debut. she got the star factor that's why lot of kpop fans not just fearnots like her

[@oofkang]

every person is special in there own way but eunchae is not better than any other maknae. maknae literally just means youngest of the group. she is the best at being the youngest of her group? like it just doesn’t make sense. there are idols younger than eunchae that if they were to act the same way eunchae does they’d be dragged for it. they were mainly talking about the double standard.

[@soft4taeng]

Don't get me wrong, i really like Eunchae but what i'm trying to say is that she isn't more special than other maknaes like some of her stans are trying to make it seem. These people need to stop treating her as if she was the standard, as if she was somehow special in comparison to other idols.

Here’s one I’ve been thinking about Fat and weight shaming is something quite deep rooted in the industry and I’m glad to have seen some progress in that regard (though as per usual toxic knets remain) However, I think we should be looking more at the other side of the spectrum. I think we should stop glorifying waistlines, abs. I’m not saying don’t compliment your favourite idols because if you think they look good, by all means go ahead. But specifying something and putting it on a pedestal, as if this is something idols should work towards, is really not it. I open my feed sometimes to like “netizens are in awe over xxx’s body proportions “ or something similar. Like idk for me, makes me a bit uncomfortable especially knowing the extreme measures idols go through to attempt to achieve these, and honestly reading articles and peoples comments agreeing with these, you can really feel why Basically uh, if we want to work towards more positive body views, we should also stop glorifying certain things Oh and yea as a twice Stan, biased but I agree lol, it’s a bit annoying seeing people talk shit about twice because of charts and music show wins

[@blackbluesette6577]

You’re so right about the wonyoung opinion. Ppl hate on her for no reason and claim she’s rude, disrespectful, and is overshadowing the members with little to no proof. I think that a lot of ppl who aren’t dives pay attention to ive and criticize and critique wonyoung without even knowing her actual relationship with the members, or just take information from other ppl about her without looking into it themselves. I’m not a dive either but it’s sickening the amount of hate she gets for simply breathing, I hope she can do okay through it all

[@antagonist2472]

i agree with the maknae point, but i will say this : as the youngest member of a group, you are, most of the time assigned a cute and innocent personality, and you get babied a lot more by fans and sometimes even staff and company, often because being young is associated with those things, which i think is also the reason as to why idols born in the same year are treated differently based on their group age difference ( ex: jungkook vs bang chan ) . my point being that as an idol you dont always get to act the way you want to ( ownyoung for example changed her behaviour in izone vs ive, and i think her position in both groups probaly had a big role in that. sorry for the lenghthy comment btw.

[@soft4taeng]

Wonyoung didn't necessarily change from Izone to Ive, she just grew up. Mind you she debuted at 14 and now she's 19...it would actually be pretty weird if a 19 year old person acted the same way they did at 14. She didn't change, she just matured like everyone does and this has little to do with the fact she's no longer the youngest.

[@Leeleeistotallyhere]

These are the things im SO SICK OF thanks for speaking it out it has been getting on my nerves

[@0_base1]

I really respect your opinions and I agree with them :)

[@idkwhattonamethisomg]

now this is a kpop opinion video i can respect. every point you made was just you spitting facts

[@imbabybird7456]

Another thing I would like to talk about is the fact that idols flex their age toward another senior idol like I'm so young and so successful and rich and will have more years to come

[@user-nz7tg1oe1r]

i literally agree with this maknae thing like- 💀💀💀 I don't know why but especially the way people babying eunchae is kinda cringy. why all of a sudden yall find her somehow special among other youngest members of other groups. i get when a person is naturally cute and adorable, but when there's none of it and yall acting crazy over that person is like- wow

[@beevonerd]

I'm fkn HOWLING @ the Kep1er part lmaooooo you better go off, bb 😂😂
