What do you think about idol "duality"?

I remember cherryshiii made a thread about it a long time ago and people were like "idol duality is overrated and that every human has duality"

But now that we have a new batch of users, what do you think about idol duality, in general? Do you use the term or is it something that you acknowledge but don't speak about it a lot? Or do you recognize the difference between their cuter, more laid-back side and their more professional, performance, and possibly "🔥" side but don't use the terminology "duality"? Or do you think that the term is completely overrated and that it shouldn't be used since every human being has a duality?

Some examples (yes, I'm using Twice members)

(btw, if you haven't watched this...stop slacking and do it now because the way she goes from all cute, smiley and laughing to 🔥 is so smooth...)

I personally think that versatility is the better word for it.

It's usually defined as an idol's ability to do different concepts. But I also define it as them being able to go from cuteness and being more laid-back to be more professional.

Versatility, imo, is a talent and requires practice but duality is natural and something that we should all have in common.

(like your talking and joking around with your friends before choir class starts but as soon as the music starts playing, you turn a mental light switch on and you are lightning-focused. I'm sure anyone who's been in a choir or another performing art knows about this.)

Quote from Lulu_Key

it's bullshit

They are performers, they are performing to represent the songs feeling.

Sometimes that's being bright and cheerful, sometimes it's being arrogant and confident, sometimes it's sth else.

Yep. That's what I call versatility and not duality

Duality in itself is a weird term tbh

Quote from thegoddess31

I’m smiling and now I’m just made an angry face all within a millisecond. I have such good duality

Yep, that was the main argument from some people.

But I'm more talking about when it's more genuine. Or when they're performing and acting to match the concept and song. I feel like anyone can change their expression and have it not be genuine.

For instance, you probably didn't go immediately from genuinely happy to genuinely angry when making those expressions

Quote from thegoddess31

but how do you know if an idol is being genuine? there’s not many probable examples of this happening and when it is, it’s like “idol was happy one second, gets mad when shoe gets untied zeptosecond later”

I just showed it in the video I linked in the OP

I guess you can also use when idols make a mistake or get scared on stage, laugh a bit and then immediately go back to being professional.

(another Jihyo example because she's my ulti)

But this is still what I call versatility, not duality.
