okay yeah agreed. i feel like he is consistently the most underappreciated member and for some reason, as you said, they wait for him to fuck up. idk if this is bc of the past (i am the seasoned expert of discussing that lol) or bc of something else, but it is something that's present and i don't like it.
ik it's unrelated and possibly irrelevant but i always notice his solos get the least streams on the albums (Trivia: Love, Reflection) and it makes my heart drop. he works so hard to hold shit together and imagine seeing that. and even if he doesn't, it's still disheartening to me, and i don't usually even care about streams and shit. i also believe he is the least followed member on insta. some armys are lying about being OT7 fr and i know it- across many platforms and likely on here too.
