How much do visuals matter to you when deciding whether you want to stan a group?

not much it's more about if I can connect with their music and then their personalities. Visuals is only a bonus for me

It’s gotta be a visual that catches my attention, regardless if it checks out with beauty standard. I just must like what I see and feel when I follow an artist to become a stan.

It’s important to point out that there ain’t no stanning someone I find ugly, that’s for sure.

Ever since CL and Hyuna I haven’t stanned anybody. I don’t think I can be a stan anymore, tbh. Inner conflict alert lol

I stan Bts when they were still in their edgy hip-hop fashion style era with those weird thick eyeliner, so that says a lot about me

visuals are only important to get you into the person or group. imagine cheering for someone and consuming their content only because they are visually pleasing to the eyes. that's right you can't unless there's no thoughts in your head. that said it's still really important and the reason why prettier people have a bigger following

I’m always going to notice pretty people, but all of my biases in groups I like have not been people I noticed initially or considered particularly attractive. They become miles more attractive by their talents/personalities/charisma - and often much much later after I start becoming a fan of the group.

I care about the looks a lot but if music isn’t good or not my taste I ain’t following that idol or group

Virtually irrelevant. It can be a nice bonus though.

I think I want charisma more then looks. A pretty face who can't perform on stage is of no use so I'm definitely looking at how much someone catches my attention while they're performing.

Also as a collective whole I want variety vs uniformity. If the faces are all very good looking but very similar and I can't tell them apart after the second or third song then I stop being interested as individuals. I'll still listen to the songs if I enjoy them but might not reach stanning where I'm interested in their extracurricular activities.

20-30%, Visual is needed not essentially the beautiful one, at least pleasing to the eyes.. The bigger factors are group members ability, fun idols and importantly music that attractive to ears

I'm just curious about the lifestyle of these handsome/pretty people, but that's it.

When it comes to fangirling:

I prefer someone entertaining who knows their worth rather than a very boring goddess visual.

As important as talent. Tha's why one of the only groups I truly like is SHINee. They meet everything you'd want from a group - real talent in singing, amazing live performances, great dancing, really handsome (you can see they natrall have the feautres and don't need any enchancements n reality), the music is nearly flawless with one of the most diverse discorgraphies in kpop, cool concepts, etc. Their visuals is equal o the talent and the outstanding performances they can give.

If t 's not the full package as above, I won't be really into the group. However, still, talent&music >>>>>>> visuals.

I do think visuals are important...

But I can't stare at pictures of Chaeryeong and Yoohyeon while driving (well, I can... but that ended badly last time).

Music is more important for me. I gotta vibe with the music first and foremost. I think Twice for me is a good example. There are some hella visuals in Twice, but I don't quite vibe with with most of their music, and that's what makes me Stan a group.

Good visuals are just icing.

And I think, like real world attraction to someone, the appeal of an idols visual can grow when you start stanning the group, consuming content and being drawn to them.

As the forums biggest Chaeryeong simp, I'm going to drop a bomb...

Before I went head first into Itzy stanning just after Mafia dropped... I did not like Chaeryeongs visuals. She didn't appeal to me at all. It's too harsh to say I found her ugly but... yeah. Then I really liked Mafia in the Morning and started consuming a lot of Itzy content at the time.

And the more I watched, the more I noticed Chaeryeongs character and found her kind of funny and silly, but still not attractive...

Then one day I watched this

And at some point in the show, people in nearby apartments to me must have heard an extremely loud CRACK sound as something in my brain snapped as I went from finding Chae unattractive to being completely, utterly head over heels. Something about her sweet, dorky, shy, silly persona completely won me over. This Phantom Thief's heart... was stolen.

The rest is history.

We wouldn't stan group just because they are good looking, but my goodness,doesn't it help ?

To stan a group, not much.

Only as a first impression mostly.

I think for me to do more than check out MVs or performances they have to have a personality that's my vibe.

After that is probably music, then appreciation of talent then visuals.
