Do visual members rely on their looks too much?

Or do you think they generally match or exceed the talent levels of the test of their group?

Do they get too much leeway when they aren't good at singing/dancing?

Who are some examples of visuals who stand out for their talents and not just their looks?

regardless of whether it's too much - it happens

visuals sell and maybe they aren't the best singer or best dancer - hell they might even be a below average singer/dancer/rapper etc but if they sell and draw attention to the group (and themselves) isn't that what a kpop idol is all about?

I've said it before that the visual of a group might not always be the most popular but rarely are they the least popular

That's true. If the member is a stan attractor, no matter the reason, they are bringing something to the group and are a valuable member.

I thought this thread would be about how visuals stare off into the screen like a doll and don't even blink when the camera is on them and I'm like "u don't even look that pretty"

Lol Honestly i do think some could try a bit harder to not give off the impression that they are more concerned with how they look than how they sound or if they are giving a good performance. Like i know it's pbly hard work to practice all those winks and adorable smiles in the mirror for hours on end, but maybe we could spend a little of that time practicing other skills as well.

I mean, aren't all pretty people guilty of this whether they are trying to use their looks to their advantage or not? Society is wired to favor the good looking.

Yeah, sometimes i feel guilty getting all this special....

Kidding! People literally will let a door slam in my face.

Pretty privilege is definitely real. I do appreciate though when I see people (idols or not) trying to make something of themselves more than just being a pretty face.
