Would you stan a group that lost a member(s)?

cheddar · Jul 31st 2022

Like if you found a new group but found out that they lost one or more member, would you still want to stan them? I think I could but I would avoid old content because it would feel weird and it would suck if I ended up liking the member. Then I would just constantly wish they were still there.

Quote from Pearl-Iris

I stan EXO and SKZ so yes

But EXO members left after I started stanning them so I guess SKZ it is

EXO (Luhan was actually my first bias) and Le Sserafim.

i stan cherry bullet and i dont really pay attention to the former members when i see old content with them because i just dont know them that much. unless theyre in a new group (ella/mirae), i dont feel the need to talk about them.

ya of course. Even if they left when i am alreqdy a fan. Because other members do not deserve to suffer if for whatever reason a member leaves.

I've stanned SNSD since their debut.

It was different ever since Jessica left.

My emotions and attachment are largely centered around the first of half of their career.

That's what I think of when I imagine SNSD.

To me SNSD is always 9.

Yes, to me most groups are coworker

Members leaving doesnt change my feelings

I stan Dreamcatcher once Handong was temporarily gone. If she would do better in the survival show and debuted in the new group, she probably would never return to Dreamcatcher.

I don’t know I stan ikon and I still get really upset over what happened. If I’m stanning a new group I guess it might depend on how long that member was in the group because if that member is in majority of the content I might get attached

I mean I already stan a lot of groups that have lost members so why not?

Apink. Started stanning them in Oct 2019 while on a hunt to explore more ggs (I was only familiar with a few 2nd gen ggs and most 3rd gen ggs).

Naeun was still a member back then.

She left after their latest comeback, and NGL, it felt kinda weird at first cause for most Pandas and I, Apink is forever OT6.

Naeun was not my ult, but as an OT6 stan, her leaving sorta makes things different, but at the end of the day, her and the girls are still Apink.

I love her and I'm happy she's pursuing what she really wants to do: acting.

There's also Yookyung. Obviously, she left the group way before I started stanning, so I never truly saw Apink as OT7. However, there are times when I wonder "what if". She left months before NoNoNo was released.

I wonder how she may have felt when IST removed her and months later, the group starts gaining recognition. But staying positive, I bet she was proud of them.

Yookyung is now a fashion designer and looks happy.

Also, the fact that both former members are still friends with the group warms my heart. I'm happy that their relationship wasn't ruined regardless of the circumstances (in Yookyung's case) and I'm thankful for it cause sadly, the same can't be said for many other groups, and I wish things would have turned out different for them as well.
