Something about your favorite group(s) that makes you proud to stan?

Versatility in styles and concepts that include even uncommon styles and genres.

I really like that

As a second, I'd say great vocals (+harmonisation! A rare skill in K-pop) and dancing, I love things like that.

The fact that T-ara went through one of the worst scandals in K-Pop history when they were the victims and they were harassed by an entire country but still stayed together and even to this day came back together

Nothing like that. Celebrities or entertainers in particular don’t instill a sense of pride in me. I might respect them for some of their choices and actions but nothing more.

Quote from Minazuki

I love Red Velvet's harmonization! Especially in their softest songs, such as 'Little Little'

I know!

I really can't grasp why not more K-pop groups are using harmonization in all its possibilities.

You have a full group!

Make use of it by doing things you can only do well as a group in contrast with solo artists!

If you have a group to explore and showcase great dancing possibilities, do the same for vocals by exploring all the group possibilities to the fullest!

I would describe it more as admiring and respect them for these points.

For EXO, to have gone through so much turmoil through the life of the group and still maintain their close relationship, passion for music and love of their fans.

For NCT 127, to keep persevering even when people doubt or make fun of you.

For WayV, also persevering in the face of setbacks and finding new ways to explore creativity, from songwriting and producing to choreography.

For NCT Dream, debuting so young but having such level sensible heads about themselves and the business and setting limits.

Oh and those amazing vocals for all. And for EXO and NCT 127, their outstanding discographies. (I adore Dream and WayV, but they have much smaller discogs with less diversity than the other two atp.)

I could go on and on, clearly.

Seventeen. How they don't need Pledis at all. They make their own music, their own choreography, they can direct their own music videos, edit their own music videos, they come up with their own concepts. Seventeen owns and makes Seventeen, not pledis. Not to mention how talented they are. They have some of the best vocalists, dancers, lyricists, performers, rappers, and producers in kpop. Also how fun they are. They don't take themselves too seriously outside of performing and music making and it's so refreshing to see kpop idols just take it easy and no be too hard on themselves. Their brotherhood and the way they care for each other is special like no other I've seen in kpop. All around just an amazing group and every member contributes to more than one thing. They're all hard working, they're all entertaining, and they all have the some of the sweetest personalities. They've been praised since debut for their politeness and consideration of other people. They don't feel like robots doing their job, they feel like friends making music together. They aren't afraid to talk about toxic fans and call them out directly, they aren't afraid to speak about the kpop industry and all the bad things that come with it, and they aren't afraid to speak out about what they believe in. They make me very proud to be a Carat

I don't know, why should I be proud? I just like 'em, there's no need to have pride in stanning someone. Fandom ain't that serious, guys.

SHINee: being a group with brilliant discography and having very talented members who inspires generations to these days.

Seventeen: started from the bottom (Pledis was near to bankruptcy when they debuted) and with hardwork and unity, they did it!

Stray Kids: their bold discography and their raw talents that are becoming more and more polished. Watching this day by day is amazing.

All the groups mentioned are inspiring to me, for many reasons, but first of all professionalism.

Good music, talent and loveable members
