(Poll) have you ever stanned a group before debut?

Yes I did it with BP

I got lucky stanning the world's #1 gg

no

Beyond what I expected. Loved it.

The group was EXO.

I wouldn't say "stan", but I was anticipating A LOT for them.

no music is one of the main reasons I stan. I can't know predebut if I'm gonna like it

Enhypen. Got invested in watching I-land, got hooked by Enhypen's debut trailer and I also liked their debut album so here I am.

I stanned this group because there is a former Kiss&Cry member and I did end up really liking them

No and will never will. I will let them come to me, I like to discover them naturally

honestly, never

I feel like people who watched survival shows or are more likely to stan a group before debut than idols who haven't. Or people who had favorite idols in a former group who migrated to another group after their former groups' disbandment or something.

I could be wrong though.

As for me, I've never stanned a group before debut. I actually wonder if I watched SIXTEEN while it was live if I would've stanned Twice by then. I'm not sure if I'm saying this because I'm so attached to the current members and watching SIXTEEN years after release made me become even more attached to the members and current idols who were contests like Itzy Chaeryeong, Somi, fromis_9 Jiwon, and former IZ*ONE member Chaeyeon and Soloist Natty or if it's just that I would've related to them more being so young and having struggles. Not sure.

No. I think I’d have to listen to their music first before I’d stan. Music has always been the main focus for me. I’m curious though…how does someone stan someone pre-debut? Is it based on visuals? The group’s vibe?

i did once. It was for Winner. I love Team A (became Winner later) so much in Who Is Next.

Never stanned a group before debut but then again I don't think I stan any group

Are iz*one and keep1er considered? Cause i watched p48 and gp999 respesctively and know what am i getting into

No bc i’m not a visual stan, talents alone also don’t make me stan, and i value individual members’ charms and group chemistry a lot in groups that i do stan

Well, my case is an exception, since I stanned IVE after stanning Yujin and Wonyoung after three years since I would always support them. If I hated the music I would have of course not stanned, but luckily, that wasn’t the case!

lesserafim because i have been worshipping yunjin since pd48

I don’t know if it’s stanned but just when I got into kpop in 2016 the BP debut hype was everywhere and I liked them and their visuals and styling from debut era.

But funny enough it wasn’t until couple of years later that I actually liked a song from them haha.

If I was around for exo debut era 10/10 would have stanned 😭

i did with blackpink and treasure
