Don't all the 4th gen gg only have a few popular members?

Quote from Stir-Fried Southern-Style Bear (326)

Within each group, there are obviously some members more popular than others. But, there are some groups where the least popular members are as popular or far more popular than the most popular in other groups.

Like Jisoo or Rose would still be more popular than most other idols. Something similar for Yeri, Wendy, NingNing and Giselle compared to many other idols as well.

The smaller groups will always do better in this regard.

Rose and jisoo would be most popular female idols not naming jenlisa but the same can't said to others idols and half of twice member is far more popular than the idols u mention. Blackpink is the only female idols where top 4 belongs to them.

Quote from OP

I'm literally a dive but it's a fact that IVE is being carried by Yujin and Wonyoung.

But soon enough the other girls will have gathered enough popularity to hold their own. Wy will always be a wall, then Yujin might follow but the Rest will be pretty popular too I’m sure of that

Isn't that literally true for all groups outside bts and blackpink?

Quote from OP

what was the point of this? all the members are known in the fandom (obviously) but I was talking about non-fans.

Because it's pretty fucking clear you have no idea how popular the individual idle members, and yes, to non-fans.

One of the topics of discussion have been recently - Yuqi is popular for her variety comedy, Shuhua literally had comments about how most of her Instagram and Weibo followers are non-fans of Idle. Miyeon is popular amongst General Population, same with Minnie literally. That's my entire point drongo, they are well known and have popularity with casual listeners and general population, not just the fans.

Thats a lie

Rei helps their popularity in Japan and Liz have an active cbar in China

Leeseo also helped them gain popularity in Korea by going viral at debut

Maybe not now but predebut and during debut it's a fact they received a lot of hype because of wonyoung and yujin. It's not the other members that helped gain IVE's popularity but wonyoung and yujin are the ones who made them gain popularity in the first place.
