To address OP's question in the post title though - yes of course - it probably leads to low self esteem and imposter syndrome. Key had the benefit of being a man (so doesn't get torn apart as much) and also being very skilled although not to the power vocalist level of some members of his group like onew - so I'm sure people weren't looking down on him.

In contrast someone like Giselle gets dragged so much and people even question her right to be in aespa

Chaeyeong from itzy pre recent surgery was constantly criticised for her looks

When it happens to female idols - it feels more personal and netizens make it like an inherent character flaw is why they are not popular so yeah it must do a real number on them.

That was f***king beautiful. No lie - some tears leaked out.

I got into kpop in 2017 so do not know much about shinee and didn't realise he was the least popular.

though he may not be the best singer or dancer in his group - He's a great artist. His work is original, feels uniquely him and he has great stage presence and command of a crowd. I'm glad he found his confidence and strength to be the best version of himself and show us that......

girls generation

Overall - DO because of the acting which has more reach than kpop.

Music - baekhyun

yes

Sieun, Isa and sumin.

I dislike yoon's voice- she screams most of the time but yeah I guess she's easily identifiable on their songs since she's the one who gives me a headache - so she's memorable for sure.

Those commenters are insane .............however was he really "evil edited" by MNET? idk

Yeah I feel like the snide remarks he gets is more because of the sunoo fat shaming controversy - and I feel like sunghoon/jay get just as much blame as he does. I'm not under the impression he's singled out in particular

Quote from Lulu_Key

Did any idol ever recovered from mnet's evil editing witch hunts? Im starting to feel extra sorry for NiKi

It feels like people literally come up with random shit to accuse him of tbh

Do people go after him in particular though? I'm not sure that's the case

Red velvet is doing very well for a 7 year old group. They are not lacking anything for them to be jealous of their company juniors. Both groups are not making the same kind of music so they aren't in the same lane for competition.

while you ranking is better than OPs - imo its too early to rank groups like ive, le sserafim or new jeans. We'll have to see how they do with subsequent comeback because the Korean gp can be fickle .

Also it's hard for me to accept that itzy is a tier below g-idle, or ive - they have a large loyal fanbase even when their songs may not hit they still have that interest

I think they attracted a lot of edge lords early on.

Those types tend to drive away more sane fans

cool. need a new album. hopefully he'll have one before enlistment

The Boyz - they went on road to kingdom and got popular after hwall left

They aren't going to flop though. The song would have to be absolute microwaved shit for that to happen

taeyeon , red velvet, I imagine snsd in their heyday?

In addition - blackpink and twice are on the same level. I would argue red velvet are too but if you want to be pedantic ...
