If being a maknae is Eunchae's only strength, isn't it a bit pitiful for her? Even as a fan, it's sad to only relate her with her position as a maknae only? Most of time people will only watch idols content after being interested in the group in the first place. So?? It's so sad this is only her charming point that people see in her now. I am hoping for more discussion about her other talents outside of being cute. Dancing? Vocal? Outstanding stage presence? Star power and quality? I don't see any of it especially here.
This type of position is not even official or important and only popular among fans to feed their narrative most of the time. Visual is a legit position because this is kpop. People eat with their eyes first. Kazuha is not really good in her position as a rapper but she brings a lot of buzz towards the group, especially during their early days because of her visuals. She was going viral for everything she was doing back then. This is why it's such an important position.
Imagine if we talk about the 4th gen maknae ranking. Will she be on top just because she's doing a good job as a maknae? Not like other maknae are not 'maknaeing' enough too lol. But because most of other groups' maknae outside of being cute, they have something else to offer that fans love to talk about it more than their maknae position. Being a cute maknae is not their only personality.
Kyujin is the best dancer in her group, Ningning is Aespa's main vocalist , Leeseo is the glue of Ive's vocals and Hyein is full of star power. Eunchae?
