Is Face of the Group still a position?

I didn't think it was a position given by the company or group (I thought that was just the leader / centre) I thought the face of the group was a fan made title.

It was never an actual position, it was made up by fans to give some faves to I guess brag about them or make them seem more important.

It's not a company-given title and it's mostly disappeared in recent years, I've barely seen someone use that term

positions are no longer a thing

I don't think any of the groups that debuted from big companies this year had official positions...so yeah, I think other than leader and maybe main vocal and visual, positions kinda don't exist anymore.

companies have kind of been phasing out group positions in recent years, probably because it always lead to lots of fights among the fans.

The fans still assignment them though. While it's not really a thing any more I think face of the group is pretty easy to understand.

Take Twice for example. Tzuyu was the visual but Nayeon was the face of the group. Same for blackpink. Jisoo is the visual but Jennie or arguably Lisa is the face of the group.

In a way you could say Face of the group is basically another term for the center. But center is kind of funny too because it can specifically refer to who the group is built around or who is simply given the most center positions in choreography in spite of not having the highest popularity.

I think where the confusion came in is because so many times it overlaps because the visuals usually end up being the most popular or well known and thus become both the visual and face of the group or even the center. A single person can hold all these positions and usually does.

Sullyoon and Wonyoung are two good examples.
