Thread on the lack of promotions sunoo experienced from @BELIFTLAB and the mistreatment he experiences since I-Land especially from engene's and why sunoo stans are angry and why you can't compare your fave's situation to sunoo's:
Sunoo sings a total of 55 seconds in a 15 minutes long album. Sunoo is technically the third strongest vocalist and has the biggest ability to emote and the biggest innate singing talent in the group with barely any formal training so are you going to say it's because he's weak?
So unlike other cases where members don't get singing lines because they are sub vocalists, weak vocalists or rappers but sunoo is none of that. There's no reason he should have only a few seconds in an entire mini album a DEBUT at that.
Sunoo is also far from being a weak dancer. He just needed a little bit of technical training that's all. Sunoo has a very bouncy and fluid dance style and he's a natural at it. So don't try to tell us it's because he "lacks compared to the other members".
Sunoo had the second highest average score right after heeseung and never ranked anything lower than 5th place even with the judges. So I don't yet why you all try to push this weakest link narrative on him because of his health or perhaps because
The I-Land favouritism convinced you that others are actually superior to sunoo when they all had lower average scores than him.
Moving on.
Here's what your faves got compared to sunoo who got NOTHING.
Here's what your faves got compared to sunoo who got NOTHING.
Ni-ki doesn't get a lot of lines but he gets dance breaks and even got a solo stage during the NYE's concert.
Heeseung sings half of the album is the center in most performances and got a special stage yesterday.
Sunghoon got the special MAMA intro, a special stage with jay, is heavily pushed to be the visual (he's always in thumbnails), has a decent amount of spotlight in the center during performances and got to be an MC.
Jungwon got to be with the leaders in the intro yesterday, is the second center, is the main character of this entire concept anyways so he has tons of screentime and one of the members with the most amount of lines. He's also frequently in thumbnails so he's being pushed as well
Jay got a decent amount of highlights as well. He got a special collaboration stage yesterday, he got a decent amount of center time and he got highlighted during the performances quite often.
Jake got to narrate this entire story line anyways and 10 months was basically made for him. He also gets more highlighted in performances at least more than sunoo.
Now let's look at sunoo.
55 seconds of lines in an entire mini album.
55 seconds of lines in an entire mini album.
No special stage. No solo stage. No dance break. No intro. No highlighting.
Barely any center time and the camera (for some reason) never even manages to catch those 2 seconds of center time he gets.
Sunoo is entirely carried by his own extreme charisma and charm. He's able to stand out not because he's promoted to but simply because he's shining brighter and has a natural charisma.
You see him trending and having a lot of fans that doesn't mean he's not mistreated he's just able to attract people even if he's pushed to the back.
Now the mistreatment from engenes.
This fandom harboured animosity towards sunoo ever since the beginning of the show.
Simply because he was more popular. He isn't one of BH's faves so how dare he have the audacity to be more popular?
Mnet gave sunoo a little bit of screentime as a comedic relief but his popularity exploded. He was back then and still is now the only member who frequently and constantly trends on k-forums.
The truth is I have observed several huge engene accounts ever since the debut and many of them DO NOT retweet, like, reply his selcas and they also don't tweet about him.
That's why sunoo always has lower replies, quotes and rts than others.
The reason for that is there's still engenes who view his position in the groups as disposable because he out of everyone (for some reason) didn't deserve to be chosen over K in their eyes.
A huge amount in this fandom is also femmephobic (hatred towards men who exhibited effeminate traits or behaviour) but they are very lowkey in their dislike. That is what makes sunoo extremely vulnerable to hate more than others.
Only recently sunoo stans had to endure attacks towards sunoo's character from j1 stans. Claiming he's desperate for a sunsun pic because he blurred j1 out of the photo when it is most likely the staff that told them to do it.
Sunoo also gets called slurs.
Sunoo is used as a shipping tool. He's only ever hyped by the larger fandom because of ships. Isn't it weird how sunoo is part of the most popular ships in the fandom but barely has any hype for himself only? What does that tell you?
Sunoo is not a tool for yall to project into. Yes he loves his sunghoon hyung but that doesn't mean his entire personality revolves around being his puppy desperate for validation. The truth his sunghoon is the one who's even more attentive towards sunoo than the other way around
Same goes for every other ship as well. Sunoo is NOT Y/N so stop treating him like it and build narratives around him for your ship.
Sunoo is beautiful, complex, talented, unique, honest, true to himself and others, loyal, artistic, creative and he deserves everything he gets and more. You can't out do the doer and you can't outshine the shiner always remember.
End of thread.
Also pls stop calling sunoo stans solos for breathing thanks.
