Is leader obvious among members of your fav group?

Red Velvet & (G)I-DLE : Yes

Mamamoo & ITZY : No

If leader isn't obvious then leader isn't actually leader

Yes. Jihyo is always looking out for them and making sure everything is taken care of and okay.

Yes it is obvious (Also because the leader has to start the greeting)

Except when the group has no official leader, then I mistook it as the oldest member

Yes

For Twice and BP, no. BP has no official leader and some noobs might think Nayeon is the leader of Twice.

For Izone, yes. Eunbi is the oldest and looks her age, especially with a group so young, half of them were 18 or younger when they debuted while she was 23.

I don't think there is more obvious leader than Namjoon

I remember Yoongi telling him to his ear something in an interview so he would say it to the interviewer because he was shy

I don't even know if new fans or just casual listeners would even know who the leader is if they did not check out the members and their positions before, not even when a super savage guy like Donghun exists who loves to diss and bash everyone

Jun: "So what do you thought when you first ever saw me"

Donghun: "Why the fuck are you in my group?"

....

Jun: "What was your reaction when I was chosen to become leader?"

Donghun: "Oh please common, leader, you? Why was it not me, why is it you? You can't even lead, so why are you the leader..."

He acts up as if he would hate him a lot, but secretly loves him. He once even said in an interview "Why the fuck was I praising him and talking about him for 5 minutes when I actually hate him?" lol

Cause of that it's not quit easy to know that Jun is the leader, also not cause the other members act around him as if they were just a group of people like friends or something and Jun can sometimes also have a slightly confused reaction depending on it so you see those dudes and just don't know who ha wich position. You can also barly not even tell who's the oldest and who's the youngest sometimes (even tho it's a bit easier with the youngest since Chan has a babyface)

Do people even know that ONF has 2 leaders and do people even know who their leaders are? I bet nobody even gives a F about them since the only thing people seem to think is that WM was just the "omg-company"

Definitely. Members often let the leader do the heavy lifting on questions. They also draw in the other members when they are quiet or keep watch on them.

I think the only time you might have thought otherwise is in English interviews for NCT 127 where Johnny took the lead and would often also encourage members to speak their opinions and quietly and gently translates for them.

Hyojin (On team) and J-Us (Off Team).

Let's hope they'll get bigger and more attention when enlistment is over and they come together. 2021 was a good year for them, and I want them to go even further.

In P1harmony , Keeho often is the one to "lead" in interviews. Especially with English speakers. And he's also very confident and talkative in general. So I do think it's pretty obvious.

People only know that Dongheon is the leader of VERIVERY when they have watched RTK where he even got nicknamed "the angry dance teacher", other than that people most likly don't even know his name
