Is the position of a member that important?

It is very important, can you image if wendy wasn't the main vocalist and Yeri was? Positions allow the company to know what lines to give to someone, screentine, dancing spots, it is very important along with marketing, if your the visual you do more CFs for beauty, acting, and more. Positions to me have always been important.

No; screw member-position labels.

Groups where people mistake different people for different positions shouldn’t have positions because it shows how much the group is equal in everything

I think the positions does matter, but since groups usually didn't really announce the actual positions I think arguing about who is the main this or lead that is a little tiring.

I know and totally agree, for the company it's important to know who's the best vocal or the best dancer but i just find it tiring when fans argue with you if you mistook the position of a certain member.😅

kpop fans have this complex that x member is mistreated and deserves this position or more lines. It is tiring.

Yes. Sometimes certain members are more deserving of certain positions, but yes, the positions give you a general understanding of the group's roles.

But sometimes companies actually don't treat them according to their positions. Take my bias for example, literally getting 2 seconds of lines despite being the leader and main vocal who trained for 10 YEARS. (No hate to Nayeon though, I love her)

Yeah i've seen it a lot where fans have discussions about positions and some get really serious. I enjoy listening to the music because i love them as a complete group and not because my favourite member is THE MAIN SINGER😅

ikr! Especially seeing fans arguing about line distribution and then brought up the members positions is just tiring. I know they want to hear their faves more but can't we just appreciate the song and performance more?

People arguing about who's the main visual or whatever. And me be like: "They're all beautiful and handsome"🤪

"OMG x member should be the main visual I find them more beautiful / handsome than the official visual "

and I be like "sis the visual position is decided not by the public but by the companies who think x member fits korean beauty standards most"

I think the big ones like main singer, main dancer, visual etc are important as they're supposed to be the best of of the group. Going down to lead singer, sub singer, subwoofer singer, nano singer and so on are unnecessary.

i second this

Well Wonho has every position

depends on the group

many groups have someone who's considered a main or a lead in some position but there's someone who's more deserving than them
