What's an IT member? A stan attractor?

Quote from dignity

I always thought of the "IT" member as the most popular, face of the group kinda person?

I would say that an IT member is the one that has like the x factor and as well know and liked by the korean public (lots of cfs lots of recognition)

like the ones usually mentioned are Jennie from BP, Hwasa from MMM, Yoona from SNSD, Suzy from Miss A (there's probably more)

Quote from MissBehave

Do lower tier groups generally have those?

Assuming you mean less popular groups (which is what you mentioned in the following post anyways), I guess they don't really have "IT" members generally. I can't think of any off the top of my head anyways

smths, cha eunwoo is one case of that

the group basically become his shadow tho

having it members can be either at advantage or disadvantage depending on how the company play their cards

p.s: if eunwoo is the case of a it member eating up his own group, twice is the case of a company not letting it happen (again), in some way is good but when they go solo their lack of public support won't help them. This also seem to be yuna case, she been trending like crazy for the past months and jyp hasnt done much with her aside from that mc job (some gayo festival I forgot which one)

I dont think not having an "IT" member is an offensive thing

Group can be really popular and all the members have equal popularity and appeal

Quote from MissBehave

I don't really know who is popular that way in SK beyond those biggest name groups. By that criteria, I would think that it's more common to not have an IT member than to have one unless your in one of the most popular groups.

yeah not every group has an IT member but also every fans interpretation of what IT is differs lol

the ones I gave are probably some of the most consensus based...

Ahh right, Eunwoo's one. Man's miles ahead of the rest of his group (popularity wise)

StayC doesnt. Although for me, StayC is all about Sieun.

this is a lie, Yoon is quite literally the IT girl of StayC

iKON is not popular anymore but they definitely had a member that was known by the public that's Bobby .....most knows Bobby and he was the most popular predebut member

he was close of being an it boy then ( but I don't think there is such thing for boy groups though)

Wut? Sieun is literally a Korean Oscar winning actress and the daughter of a famous Korean singer. Nobody knows who Yoon is except Swiths
