[@eajnve]

after reading the comments i'd like to point some stuff out - this is a really *big* deal if you're an ot12 stan - the fact that vivi was able to debut under loona out of all the trainees just shows that she has a very big potential. the diversity in discography proves that each member of loona is versatile. it is just bbc is not really doing a good job at promoting her. so please dont assume she doesnt have good vocals or is a weak dancer. - please dont assume that she is okay with it. the recent interview (Hidden Track) proves that they are aware about themselves not getting lines. and also is affected by it. so please dont assume that she's fine while getting treated like this. - i highly doubt she got mistreated because shes a foreigner, but if it's true, then bbc is in big trouble - maybe the reason shes not talkative during interviews is just her being shy, not that she's not fluent in korean. - giving 12 members a fair line distribution is a pretty tough job, but its possible. butterfly has the fairest line distribution among the 3 title tracks. of course we cant have a fair distribution every comeback but in vivi's case she has been the bottom 3 of line distributions. the carol 2.0 is the only song with her having lines over 20+ seconds. - i have to admit that there is some kind of favoritism towards other members - everyone might have a different opinion on this, but i think chances of vivi leaving loona even after her contract ends is very slim. bbc did a poor job showcasing her talents. she will have a rough time after leaving the company. i think it's best for loona to stay as an ot12. after all, thats their main concept and what defines them. also highly doubt that bbc would ever do this, but this is what i think what vivi should get for compensation: - a new solo + a PROPER b-side - send her to do CFs - she doesnt necessarily need to be center, just dont make her look like a backup dancer - maybe 10+ seconds of ACTUAL lines, not adlibs, not the same lyrics over and over ( _i go i go_ ), just *proper* lines with the confirmation of a new album coming out, i really hope vivi gets to show her potential.

Choerry has also had her fair amount of lines (especially during + +), her lines decreased a little bit in X X because I guess they gave some to Olivia Hye, but during # both Olivia's and Choerry's lines were okay. YeoViWon were at the bottom as usual. The only time Go Won got to shine was during Satellite were she got a pretty good amount of center even when she wasn't singing, but that's it. Just because she's popular doesn't mean she isn't being mistreated by BBC

[@hihigh7593]

Fish And Noodles Gowon became a center in Butterfly where she was emphasized. Despite of her lack of lines, Gowon was more often in the frontline in every formation than YeoViSeul. I have no hate to Gowon since shes my bias wrecker. But BBC only did her dirty on the line distribution, unlike these 3. Yeojin, one of LOONA’s ace, barely got screentime, always shived in the back in every formation, barely have center time, and less line distributions. Haseul, one of LOONA’s best vocalists, treated as a sub-vocal, barely got some center time where she will be emphasized. Whilst ViVi, who have a very huge potential(According to the members) and a Visual Center Material, Only have 1 second line (Words should I say) in Hi High and So What, Barely getting screentime, Always shoved in the back, Her center time is faster than a blink of an eye, and worse, being treated as a backup dancer, rarely gets attention. And yet, is still passionate in performing on the stage despite of all those things. These three 3 really deserved more. No hate towards the girls, but atleast I hope BBC put up more Chineese/Foreign members in the group(just like in EXO) so that ViVi will have a chance to have a spotlight. EDIT: Forgot to add but i know mistreatment is mistreatment. So in conclusion, LOONA deserved better. #12not9

Chuu, still being the main vocalist, Kimlip,Yves, or Olivia still being the lead vocals, Jinsoul, still being the lead vocal/mainrapper, Heejin, still being the visual center,Lead Vocal, and Lead rapper, actually, you’ll notice in each era, they’ll just shuffle and shuffle, overshadowing the members who are also capable of doing those things. Haseul, one of LOONA’s best vocals, eho can also be a main vocalist, Hyunjin,Choerry, Gowon, and Yeojin, who were also capable of being the lead vocal/rapper, and ViVi, who is also capable of doing those since she have a huge potential(according to the members), AND SHOULD NOT BE TREATED AS A BACKUP DANCER! BBC really did dirty to these girls, and hiding their potential and capabilities of these members by not giving them the spotlight they really deserved.

that is exactly the point. i remember having someone says that loona having unofficial positions meaning that their abilities is unlimited, but i'd say that is pointless. what is the point of giving every members the same positions if you would give one of them 30+ seconds of line while the other only breathed a second at the song? they always say that bbc let every members shine equally likes how they give every members a solo mv and album but it still useless if people only focuses on certain members hence the big gap views between the solo mv. bbc trying to make them unique as an idol but not as a group. that is idk what to call it anymore, ironic? i think?

[@hihigh7593]

pastelskies yyep it is definitely very ironic that even the fans are even questioning who is the member that are singing the adlibs in a members’ solo. Example in this case is ViVi’s EDINY/EDILY. Since ViVi got lesslines and cannot show her same potential in her solo. Some Orbits are limiting her capabilities by saying/thinking that ViVi isn’t the one who’s doing the adlibs, its either Jinsoul or Kimlip. Which really upsets me since BBC isn’t showing everone’s potential and capabilities.

[@mmmhno]

The pre debut situation vas due to yeojin that failed her exam, she had to debut in 1/3 technically but first, she was to young to go promote on shows and 2nd bbc decided that she needed to focus on her exam more so that's why we didn't see her in loona tv for a long time during 1/3 era. Therefore bbc had to find a new member and with loona way of chossing members it means a new battle between trainees which might have been done in rush. They needed a 4th member so that's why ViVi debuted in the sub unit before doing a solo.

I feel like they just write in those little 2 second speaking lines into the song, just for the sake of keeping some members from getting actual singing lines. Like, if you listen to LOONA songs, all of their group songs have these random speaking parts that occur at every chorus, and the same members get them each time, and besides those little speaking lines, they get no other lines.

my girl vivian can rock those rap lines chuu got, since she already had a VERY significant role in the bridge. it's like bbc just thought "hehe let's bring rapper chuu back only to ignore yeojin, vivi and gowon ONCE AGAIN". i hate this thought but i sometimes feel that bbc regrets debuting some girls, favoring these girls over other trainees and for that they push them to the corner. i hope that it isn't the case and it's just poor management, but if it's true ugh i would be so mad. i know this is abt vivi but i've noticed that the later girls (kim lip and forwards) have gotten more attention in ot12 releases... except gowon. compare the yyxy solo views, she's severely behind the other three. and for that bbc tries to stick her at the back. this could be an example of the thought i presented before. chuu rapping was cool and all, her rhythm is enjoyable but was it really necessary? you've been pushing gowon and yeojin as rappers in their solos only to give those possible lines to someone who already has many. the distribution would be so so much fair if chuu's rap was given to a girl and heejin's to another, because they have gotten a lot, and i mean A LOT of vocal lines if that isn't enough. i am a fan of vivi's rap style and it makes me really upset that bbc doesn't give her the well-deserved lines in title tracks because "main/lead vocal also raps LOL". it's always heejin (the only 1/3 member in bbc's eyes), oec and chuuves. the forgotten members can really fit those concepts the company has been using but their potential is being wasted because bbc can't hide their obvious favoritism. and why does this favoritism exist?

Agreed. And also its absutely not heejins fault. She’s incredibly sweet and very big on OT12, she’s so humble. All the girls hype up Vivi whenever but I see heejin always praising Vivi and being attentive as well. BBC has to find ways to boost her exposure soon, I dont want to see her succumb to obscurity or the background. I am curious..since I wasnt here fully through predebut, what exactly was it that ppl were worried about w/ VV back then? The same concerns?

[@thathumanbeingnobody3468]

Choeviwon loona she barely got lines in 1/3 but it was kinda fair cause she did get a lot of screen time, but yeah she could have gotten more lines in the beside which would have even everything out

[@fatinihidayah9930]

@@briannagarcia1807 Pretty much the same I would say. Sorry for being pessimistic but I've always thought Vivi would mostly be ignored when loona finally debuts and here we are. Vivi has nothing that she can specifically be showcased on bc even in loona 1/3 she is overshadowed by heejin in dancing, vocals by haseul and visuals by hyunjin. Then come OEC and yyxy who were much2 more popular and she was kinda forgotten. Plus she's non korean, and has a quite thick accent which I think hinders her to be more outgoing and becomes shy. This makes her less likely to go on shows and Loona is packed with talent so sadly it was kinda inevitable that she is pushed back. Although she might not be the best in anything, she's improved a ton since her solo and it's ashamed that we dont get to see that at all 😢

[@Mostly_Kpop]

I always feel there are four tiers of Loona members The centers: Kim Lip, Yves, Heejin, Chuu The Visuals: Hyunjin, Jinsoul The ones with average treatment: Go Won, Olivia Hye, Choerry The ones who people forget when listing names: Vivi, Yeojin, Haseul These are just my observations. I like all of the members but clearly BBC doesn't.

She’s literally working so hard just to get shoved to the back all the time. Like I love Heejin, Chuu, Yves, Kim Lip and Jinsoul too, but BBC should’ve just made them their own group if they didn’t know how to let the other members shine equally. That’s my problem with big member groups, like I’m attached to all of them now, and it’ll always be ot12 for me, but vivi, yeojin, haseul, and hyunjin are treated like background dancers. They’re too talented to be hidden like that

[@yujutheworld]

it's a shame bc bigger groups like seventeen and wjsn are treated more equally- so it's definitely possible. bbc cannot handle them properly

[@kayla2293]

i really worry about vivi sometimes. she looks genuinely miserable a lot. i know she has one of those angry looking resting faces (i do too, it’s not our fault) but she actually looks like she is super unhappy a lot of the time. and she seems super left out too, like when they won first place... she wouldn’t squeeze her way into the line when they got down to bow, she awkwardly stayed in the back because she probably doesn’t like to speak up. and being the only foreign member has to be so hard, not only does she have to learn the customs and language, but she also would probably be treated worse if she asked for more exposure. obviously we know very little of what goes on behind the scenes, but i’m so worried for vivi. i’m worried that she’s going to leave the group, or she’s going to have an anxious breakdown from the way she’s treated. i know the other girls love and respect her, this isn’t their fault at all. this is BBC’s fault for making vivi feel like less of a person than literally every other member. one of my friends has been watching a few loona stages and didn’t even notice vivi was in the group until the 7th stage!!! what does that say? BBC shouldn’t have added her if they are just going to treat her like this. there were MANY trainees that competed to be in this group, she won a spot for a reason... they need to let her demonstrate her talents.

[@gottagocw7515]

Kayla agree, i absolutely love her, but it’s extremely concerning how she is being treated, I think the problem is that BBC chose the trainee that most matched with the SOLO, so it looks like they chose her because she was the one that matched the best with her solo, therefore, BBC wasn’t thinking straight about the future, they were much concerned finding someone for the solo and didn’t think right. I think she matched pretty well with So What’s concept, heck she fitted with all the concepts pretty well, the line distribution could have been easily adjusted to be more fair, the stronger vocalists sing, and the others get the rap parts! I hope things get better! And BBC does a better job! There’s so much in where they can improve!

hyunjin, haseul, yeojin, vivi and gowon would make a good sub unit ngl... forgotten girls unit. they're strong enough to be a decent group on their own tbh. and a mysterious cute concept for them wouldn't be that bad. but jokes aside, i wonder what's going through bbc's sixteen minds to always give attention to the same girls no matter what? the concept excuse isn't actually valid because hh, butterfly and sw are so different but their distributions aren't. plus, do you remember the full moon cover (heejin, kimlip, choerry, yves and oli)? the preference is clear as water, just add jinsoul and chuu to those five and it's so notorious that these girls are the ones bbc prioritizes. at least if you wouldn't use them for the group's music, there's so many ways to use the forgotten girls' potential. ads, drama osts, acting, covers... just admit you don't trust in their great skills but try to push them to the media and the public! favoritism will end up harming loona as time passes.

Hayoung needed a little bit of help getting her arms to un-cross and Vivi helped her instead of ignoring her since Hayoung also has the same talent as her.. i saw how genuine she was.. its a very small reason but it burst my heart. now I love her and I'm trying to stan loona.. i just wish she got better treatment :(

Amo a Vivi, es mi bias wrecker. Con el paso del tiempo me he dado cuenta que ella tiene el corazón más puro del grupo. Al ver este vídeo me hizo sentir sensible, débil y un poco enfermo. Pienso en que estado se encuentra su salud mental, ¿Ella está bien? Cuando no hay cámaras ¿Se encuentra feliz? Sé que tiene buena relación con las chicas y que se puede apoyar en ellas, pero creo que el ser "tímida" o por el simple hecho de entrar al grupo diciendo 좋아요 hizo o hace que la agencia no confíe en darle líneas o estar en el centro de un mv. Los orbits sabemos de lo que ella es capaz y sí no lo fuera estuviera otra persona. Tengo una pregunta para BBC sí no le das líneas por 4 AÑOS a ViVi ¿Porque la haces debutar?¿Para que en el grupo haya una extranjera? Realmente no entiendo el movimiento de BBC con respecto a ViVi. Cómo Orbits DEBEMOS hacerle saber a BBC que ViVi vale. Sé que mantener una distribución perfecta es imposible pero ¿Siempre ViVi?¿Porqué?¿No entiendo? . Me gustaría una segunda etapa de Loona donde hayan otros Girls of the month, Dónde cada miembro vuelva a tener un nuevo solos o singles pero es muy improbable que suceda. Mientras tanto les pido a todos que tratemos a todas por igual en cuanto importancia, sí sabemos que tienen habilidades distintas. Que se hable de todas (y eso que no hablo de la más abandonada del fandom Yeojin). Total, yo espero que ViVi se encuentre bien mentalmente y sí no lo está que mejore pronto.

vivi siendo de mis ults, cada vez que veo material nuevo de loona (como entrevistas o juegos que les hacen hacer) no puedo evitar sentirme triste porque hasta en eso no le dan screentime ni momentos para hablar; hay personas que aún dicen que "no sabe hablar bien coreano" y por eso "no participa mucho" pero... ¿4 años (o hasta mas si contamos el tiempo pre-debut) en corea y que no pueda desenvolverse bien con el resto de miembros en coreano? ella se la ve feliz con el resto de miembros, pero ¿acaso ella estará realmente feliz de ver que casi ni sale en los vídeos, no tiene ni lineas para cantar y en los programas de variedades ni le prestan atención a ella? por ejemplo, me dio tanta tristeza ver el relay video de so what en donde vivi solo sale como 3 veces y ya, o ver como incluso los programas en donde se presentan (ejem... mnet) ni sacan fancams de ella (porque normalmente se encuentra hasta atrás, quiero creer que es la razón) y solo sacan de las mienbros mas "populares". bbc debería empezar a tomar en cuenta esto y darle mas protagonismo a vivi (y a miembros como hyunjin, gowon y yeojin... a quien la misma bbc parece que olvida a veces) ¡orbit! si ves esto, recuerda darle amor a todas las miembros por igual y dejar los favoritismos, cada una de ellas se merece la misma cantidad de amor y tiempo para brillar... por favor

And for the other side we have International fans, who only came to LOONA for two BIG reasons: Kim Lip or the Yves/Chuu package (they have strong vocals, dont get me wrong, but their styles AND the context is that captured the attention of the IF) So yeah, i think BBC decided to exploit that resource, leaving the rest of the members out and technically following the fanservice

The fact that this video is still valid after a year since it was posted it's so sad... If you don't believe in a member's abilities why put them in the group in the first place? If you think a member's voice doesn't fit the song, why not produce a song that fits the voices of all members? And don't tell me that's difficult, LOONA has explored pretty much all genre there is and Vivi (and Gowon) are still not given any lines except a few words like Wow! And the screentime? What's up with that? If you're not giving a member lines at least you got to compensate with screentime. But no, member's like Vivi and Gowon barely appear in mvs. Let's not kid ourselves. There is clearly something going on with BBC. I don't know what it is, but they clearly don't care about everyone in the group. It's like their thought process is "These members are not popular, therefore it's not necessary we give them any active parts in comebacks, not even screentime. If fans want to see them they're just gonna do that in fancams and live performances." What is it they care about? Money? LOONA has never been about money. They have always been an artistic group that stand out in this industry for NOT being just a regular group that makes mainstream music with avarage mvs. A lot of passion was clearly put into this project, so money shouldn't even be in the equation because fans love all the members equally. LOONA is special to us and we care about every single member. Their mvs are such high quality and so is the music, but when it comes to the members the company doesn't apply the same care. Vivi, Gowon, Yeojin, Hyunjin and Haseul deserve better in my opinion. I'm not expecting them to have more than the other members, but how BBC is doing it is not the right way either. It's also so incredibly unfair that despite Vivi feeling much more comfortable with heir Korean, she was given almost no lines. I just want her and Gowon to have some proper lines and to see them on the screen for more than 1 second. They do that for all the other members, why not do it for Vivi too? This is just so sad, I feel sorry for the members that clearly get mistreated 🥺 At this point evrry time there is a comeback, my biggest hope is to see ALL the members shine equally. After all that's LOONA's message right? That we are all LOONA. And each and one of us is important. I wish BBC applied this beautiful message to their management..Let's hope the next comeback they'll think about this more carefully. For now let's support this comeback as much as we can. And hopefully we'll get them a 2nd win ❤

don’t get me wrong- i love heejin and chuu just as much as the other members but they don’t deserve 50 seconds of screentime while haseul, gowon, vivi, and yeojin get around 3 seconds of screentime

[@wjsnsecret]

like i get that heejin is the visual and that there the most biased members but 3 SECONDS? LIKE COME ON BBC

[@eiffeling]

Now that vivi got center 3 times on Why not makes me so proud as a vivi stan

[@vivisimp]

being vivi biased has made me like loona less.. whenever I watch performances i obviously look for vivi because shes my bias, which totally ruins ALL performances for me because i'm always painfully aware that vivi is in the back, even on her own (TINY) lines. it's insane.

two eras after so what, we still don’t seem to see any improvement,,, in why not we had SOME hope given how vivi gets a lot more center time compared to what she usually gets (she even gets to co-center a dance break in voice/star like what!!!) but all progress has been thrown out of the window it seems for & it’s so frustrating as a vivi stan that she’s constantly being pushed aside as if she wasn’t a member. why would bbc go through the entire debut process jst to treat her like jack squat? it’s also an issue with gowon as well (+ yeojin and hyunjin but they got a bunch of lines this era so hmm maybe things are looking up?) what’s the point of having a 12 member group if you’re gonna treat it like there’s only 8-9 members

[@shuu-wasseo]

actually id like to argue bc vivi has gotten less hidden positioning in ptt and wow, also bbc allows us to see her improvement in dancing with front position in finak chorus. i still think she needs and deserves better.

[@pao1492]

@@shuu-wasseo i totally see where you're going and i agree, but it's pretty much bare minimum ya know? in her ptt moment i feel she wasn't as noticeable as gowon since she's behind her. her wow moment was iconic tho i lov

[@shuu-wasseo]

@@pao1492mhm it got a bit better but we still have a long way to go

[@sarahdagher]

it is currently 2021 as i am writing this, loona came out with “PTT” and lemme tell you.. vivi’s lines are only getting shorter and they barely show her in the end of the mv this is seriously fucked up

[@jaden183]

And this should go to all members who get treated unfairly. Haseul, Go Won, and Yeojin deal with similar issues. Go Won got 2.9 seconds on So What and she is considered a rapper (her solo was mostly rap).

I just want a comeback where ViVi Shines
