Is a cook at a good restaurant that makes dishes the Head Chef did the hard work to design, test and first make the artist, or is the Head Chef the artist? Even if the cook recreates the dish beautifully, time after time, are they an artist or just very talented?
I've long held that I don't think the majority of idols are.
They are (usually) very talented people and are very driven, but they are all mostly in a field where the true creative side of things is done by others. Most idols are the canvas upon which other peoples work is projected. They are the beautiful model that the fashion designer and make up artist displays their artistry through. And like I keep saying, idols work in a manufactured industry where a lot of the work they do is also heavily processed, focus grouped, sanitized, drafted and moved through so many hands that even those "other peoples" artistry is diluted down more. I also strongly suspect that for many idols, that is perfectly fine, being the "canvas".
Of course some idols do break the mold, when they eventually get enough clout and power to be able to start pushing their own work and artistry, Taemin-Identity pointed out a few. In saying that, I don't always thinking having writing/choreo credits necessarily pushes and idol to that higher level of artist unless they also have creative control and some degree of final say over the final product.
It's why some creatives and artists have disdain for the mainstream. It's why people with their own artistic drive sometimes don't throw their lot in with a big company, but prefer to go it on their own. Even if success isn't guaranteed.

Want to listen to Imaginary Friend while staring at your favourite member only (which should Chaereyeong of course)
Staring at them just thinking and being beautiful, because for some odd stylistic choice, it's not actually them singing. It's just them...

Poll
It's what the megathread is for, so the forum isn't flooded with threads related to one topic. If you allow one to slip the chains, it invites others to also do so and puts an onus on mods to then judge which threads are megathready and which are worth their own.
IMO if they are to do with this bigger issue, they belong in the megathread.
Some of us are just interest by relevant news abt the conflict
And i don't have time to go through 50 pages to filter the important news and the useless articles
That should be a you problem tbh. Again, the megathread is for the news and discussion of this issue.
