[theqoo] LIVE AS THE HARD CARRY MEMBER OF THE NOBODY GROUP VS LIVES AS THE UNPOPULAR MEMBER OF A TOP GROUP
bypannchoaJuly 14, 2022
1. Live as the hard carry member of the nobody group - If someone talks about the Pwapwa group (fictive name), they only talk about you
- You get a solid inflow of individual CFs
- If the group is being mentioned, it's as if it's you + the members as bridesmaid
- You're the only one who gets the ending fairy treatment in music shows
- You're not the leader, yet you're the one doing interviews, going on variety shows and introducing the new releases
- Even when you go on variety shows to do PR for other members, the focus is still on you
2. Live as the unpopular member of the top group
- Even though you have a reasonable amount of part distribution, the cameraman isn't shooting you
- The other members all have the chance to do the ending pose, but you get no opportunities
- You thought 'maybe today is the day that I'll be caught on camera' but you get so focused in the thought of it that you blank out and the camera catches you just standing there and you become a meme in all communities
- You're always in the corner in formations
- You don't have any individual schedules, even if you do, you get edited out from the broadcast
- Even in groups promotions, you're just working hard on giving reactions
original post: here
1. For the sanity of my mind, #1
2. If you look at idols nowadays, #1
3. #2. It stings for a little while but you can earn f*cking good cash
4. #222 I know that the salary will still be divided by Nth even though I have no solo promotions. If you look at a group like SNSD, it's obviously #2
5. #2 will still earn more money than #1
6. #2, you don't even need to put that much effort to earn a lot... I don't think it's that bad..
7. Of course #1, my confidence will be freaking destroyed in #2
8. If you look at the long-term, it has to be #1. You can still promote even if the group disbands
9. #222222 It's nice to be in a top group
10. #2, realistically speaking, you're still earning more and you'll have a lot of fans
