For me, it's often happened when a group takes a sudden turn before they're able to establish their identity properly (the debut + the first two comebacks for me). Unless I'm really invested in them from their debut, or it's made clear that each song will differ, then I'm not that eager to stick around if they change all of a sudden. Like others have mentioned too, it also depends on how frequently they release content, music and otherwise.
Example: I was really into Weeekly when they first debuted and their subsequent hits, but then they went on that hiatus and came back with Ven Para, which was such a departure. It made the wait bittersweet for me instead of rewarding.
Opposite example: I was into GFriend from their debut. They had multiple songs that resonated with me and made me think of them. Then they came back with Fingertip, which was not my jam, but I stuck around because of frequently they came back and kept doing so because they went back to what they were good at.
I'm not against groups experimenting, but it can often alienate new fans if they do it while they're still establishing themselves and depart from what had been working for them for no other reason than trends.

To me, Shuhua was the first that came to mind.

The first group I followed pre-debut was P.O.P.
It was unfortunately not a group that lasted very long, but they caught my interest as they were said to have been trained by people from RBW, Mamamoo's company, and they had some really good singers and strong performers among their members. Unfortunately, their debut song did not hit me right at all (nothing compared to their pre-debut performances), and then they disbanded shortly after.
Second group was Purple Kiss, which is more recent.

I can play it like normal.

Also, apparently this song is a B-side (not like that means it doesn’t deserve the potential hype). The title track comes out early January

In my 11 years as a Kpop listener, I've been drawn to different groups (and, therefore, different members) for a variety of reasons, and my feelings about each member have varied. With some, I've been attached to all of them, while I've been more neutral to some. I think that having an equal love for all the members of a group (especially a bigger group) is close to impossible, honestly, but you can be a fan of a group, find yourself paying more to attention to one or a few members in particular, and still find yourself liking, or at least respecting, the rest. Humans are drawn to different things by nature, and one shouldn't have to force that in order to achieve "equality."
Enjoy a group, have a favorite if you do, respect the others too and have fun. That's the joy of Kpop and its many, many appeals. There's something and someone for everyone. Just be nice and don't hate.

Wow! I used to watch this group back when they were doing covers. I enjoyed them a lot, but I got a bit tired of the blatant favoritism among some of their members 😅

I think this is their real account but the notification I'm gonna assume is false, they're playing along with it though
That makes the most sense. It's cool that they're playing along, though.

I'm not sure about the notification since I've never been on Grindr, but the reply seems real. The profile has 291K followers and has posted several ads that fits Grindr's brand.

This is really cool, and it highlights the ways the girls are similar yet very distinctly their own in their songs and types of performances. Even after eight years, they seem so bright when they're on stage

I understand everyone's perspective that it might be underwhelming compared to their previous titles, but something about this song really pulled me in from the first listen. It's not making me want to get up and dance, but it has my complete focus when it plays, even if I'm doing something else in the meantime. It's captivating in an unusual way? I did rate it as a bop, but now I'm off to listen to the rest of I LOVE.
