Some of y'all have piss-poor understanding of what goes into live performances and the creative decisions behind it + the professional attitude one must have as a team,

Yet y'all still love to put your loud, uninformed opinions out there like it's the gospel truth,,
So let me break it down for you, yeah?

1. Having less screentime does NOT equal mistreatment/mismanagement/discrimination by the company

2. It doesn't mean they're seen as less talented, pls stop projecting and looking down on supporting roles on stage
3. All idols, including your fave, can def want the spotlight, but still have the emotional and mental maturity to make the creative decision to take a supporting role that's best for the team's sake this time.

It's called being a professional, and being a team player.
Your job as a fan is to support and RESPECT their final decision, especially when they clearly put a lot of time deciding it,

not override it with your will, w/o considering how much your idol has already considered and discussed it as a group, before making that decision.
It is ok to feel dissapointed or want to see more, to have your idol shine brighter. We all want that.

But it becomes a problem once you start neglecting the artists' independence and initiative to speak for themselves & jump to negative conclusions that they're being sidelined.
They are NOT your puppet to control, yes of course they want the spotlight, but i assure you their talents and their capability to speak for themselves will put them there one day.

But your complaints, esp ill-informed ones, will not.
There are so many aspects to consider when delegating parts of a live performance:

Stamina, skill level, dancing durability, flexibility, vocal ranges & stability while singing & dancing live, who fits the song and concept best, pressure tolerance, muscle strength, health, etc.
And after ALL THAT is considered, they get to volunteer and try out the parts they wish to take, or the perf. director will recommend the parts, & the whole team votes on who fits it better.

And obv if the roles fit another member better as they practice, they'll switch parts.
This is not an indication that the members who get less center time or lines etc are somehow "less talented"

But that they're making intelligent decisions that benefit the team and themselves positively and keeps them stress-free as a whole.
And if your fave can overlook their inner 1st instinct to always grab the center parts, but instead put it aside for the sake of the team and make professional, mature decisions,

Then the least you can do is support their decisions w/o inserting your own narratives/views.
In every comeback, song, album, live and pre-recorded performance, there's gonna be a few members who gets more focus, but that isn't a bad thing.

Just be patient, they all will get their turn, there's no point in exhausting the whole group,,just trust in your idols +
+ and leave the creative decision making to them to handle/figure out.

Your input, unless you're actually a team member of your fave, is frankly not needed, or remotely helpful in this situation.

Kindly know your limits as a fan.
Oh, and p.s.a, if you:

- guilt-trip other fans for literally being more mature than you
-your knee-jerk reaction every time another member gets the spotlight is to complain that your fave is unappreciated
- you say shit like: my fave only has us *insert solo fandom name*
- or generalizing stuff like, "oh you other fans would never understand, y'all don't support my fave, only we do"
- or when people call u out, you say: go away, let us have our own moment, you don't belong here
- you project your victimizing narrative on your fave every week
Sorry to break it to you, but you're a solo stan.

Or at least, you're beginning to act like one.

And your fave, and our fandom doesn't need that toxic energy from you.
Merry Christmas to you too 🌸
