Another controversial opinion(even more controversial)

I agree, I am here for the music, not how many lines someone got. If you are here for lines, go stan a sololist.

Not attacking any certain group, but sometimes "unfair" line distribution happens because some members just can't sing/rap very well. If you want the song to sound good, especially when performed live, you have to use the members who can actually pull it off I don't believe the majority of "unfair" line distributions are actually unfair and actually think it's more fair to give the talented members more lines

I get that line distributions will never be equal. But, when you have members singing only one line, or, even worse, one word, it gets kinda ridiculous.

Imagine if you worked your ass off and perfected your work but your boss gave you and a mediocre coworker the same promotions and recognition in the name of "fairness." Those who do better should get better

This is the controversial opinion you didn't tell about op Kkkkk

For real. It's really sad to the members, but as the user above you said: it's bc they are less talented or the song doesn't match their voices.

I don't get it when people get mad the main vocalist or main rapper gets more lines. Like of course they do. That's why they're in that main position. Like I've never seen anyone complain when one of the main dancers is at the center for the dance break* so why do people get mad when the main vocal has the most lines?

I also think sometimes people only look at title tracks. Sometimes their voice just doesn't work on a track but you will hear them all over the b sides. For example Lee Know on God's Menu only had a small amount of lines, but is very well represented through the rest of the album.

*Okay I totally have seen that but it's often when the main dancer is also a main vocal/rapper/face of the group.

Exactly.

Taking SVT as an example, when they were in their early debut days, some members used to sing few lines on titles, but since they have a 3-unit concept and lots of songs are not even sung by the entire group, these same members received a fair amount of lines on b-sides (even their own tracks later, like My I by The8 and Jun).

For sure their line distribution on titles is currently one of the most balanced I've seen, especially for a + 10-member group, but the things get a lot interesting when you consider b-sides.

Line distribution should be decided by skill. There's no reason why a subvocalist that made the group because of their dancing or visuals should get as many lines as a main vocalists. It's unfair to demand equal distribution unless all the members are equally skilled vocalists.

I don't know anything about Loona so this is not directed at them.

Because when a member is singing they most likely will be on the center in the MV and during performances. Basically they just want more screen time for their faves with no regards to the quality of the song and how the line distribution affects it.

Sorry to people who stan WG here but things like this shouldn't be allowed to happen when the group has 2/5 perfectly capable vocalists

This is actually very true. Some receive fewer lines because they arent that good compared to the others. And I feel like they know it. (at least my fave does and acknowledges it). She even said that she is not confident with her voice. Back in the day every time she has a vocal/singing lesson. She would broke down into tears.

And I think people should stop attacking members that get more lines. Because its just stupid and probably cause damage to the group that we dont see or realize.

Who is your fave?

It's a sad situation in which the members know why they get less lines, but fans reactions towards this just makes things worse sometimes...

IM SORRY!

Thats so sweet of you!

I dont get this one thing about these kpop companies, why do u even debut a member if they're not skilled enough to sing live?? Don't debut them if you're not going to give them any lines.

the question is are there any groups where a member "especially in a larger group" constantly gets very little to no lines regardless of TT or bside?

Line distribution controversies are the worst thing in kpop, so annoying

Quote from momomia

Don't expect a fair line distribution from groups like Loona(or any groups with bad line distributions) for example, sure they might have some fair line distributions but those only happen once in a blue moon

you see... nothing is fair in life and you should accept it

couldn't agree more

I think it's so stupid how people think a group with 12 members is going to have fair line distributions. That's not easy.
