Do you check out idols’ music first before their personality or vice versa?

If I like the music, then there's a higher chance I'll check out the group's other content. I have to like the majority of their discography.

Yes. Music First, then everything else.

Music first but I have to like their personalities in order to become a fan. Not even in a way that they're super funny or entertaining, I just want them to seem nice and genuine

A quick 3 mins check on each of the group's MVs is the most efficient way of evaluating whether the group is for you or not

Music first, then personality.

There is a couple of exception where I follow the group on Vlive or Weverse even if I don’t listen they music but that’s due to they personality. And I don’t claim them as my favs since I don’t know them. (Unless they bring out a banger like Seventeen did. )

Music first, because 1/ it should be the primary reason to be interested in a group to begin with, and 2/ it takes way less time to check on a debut release than watching variety shows, promo footage and such to get familiar with the members.

Music first, I’m only interested to know their personality and stuff if I like them. Usually music is the main thing that makes me interested.

hmmm... a bit of both for me. Sometimes its the personality that draws me to check out their music.. that usually happens with groups from smaller companies like Dreamcatcher. For big companies I usually check out their music first before I want to learn about their personalities.

I can check either first but music will always be the deal-breaker for me

Music definitely.

I watch varieties from all the groups and enjoy most of them but don't really stan any of them.

Only music or performance. These two things have to be extraordinary for me to even consider checking the behind the scenes videos or even finding out the names of all the members.

Music first. But I've watched a lot of content from groups whose music I don't like because it was fun.

Their music first and then their personality. Both are important. I can't stan a boring group.

Music first, absolutely. If I’m particularly hooked by the music, then I look to find out more about them and their personalities.

I can’t imagine really stanning a group or artist if it hadn’t been their music I liked first

their music

it happens both ways. Sometimes i find some interesting content of a group and check out their music. Sometimes i listen to a song and if i like it then i look for more of their songs. But usually; if i got into a group through their music; i have to like more than one songs from them to follow them and check out their fan content; and if they don't have enough fan content sometimes i forget about it.

Usually, the music: title track, album cuts and performances. There are some singers or group members that I like their personality but their songs don't hit on a level I can feel.

I don't really follow a specific way of discovering different idols/idol groups. As it really just depends on the content that I want to watch and where that takes me.
