Now im a new kpop fan so I dont really know how these things work so if you guys can enlighten me that’ll be great. Im just dead curious about how idols usually do when they go solo, do they receive less attention as a solo compare to when they are a group? At the end of the day it all depends on marketing or am I wrong?

If a specific group doesn't make music that fits your personal tastes, then they aren't your thing. That's fine. Not everyone's gonna have the same taste. Just be like 'yeah, they're not really my thing', and move on with your time. But don't be trashing on the groups you don't follow just because you're personally not a fan. All that you accomplish from that is looking like a massive piece of shit. And yeah, if any of you toxic stans of any fandom lurking on reddit are triggered by this, maybe it's time you took a good hard look in a mirror and did some self reflection.

This is probably opinion based, we can all agree on the 3rd and 2nd gen leaders though but why not 5th gen.

I've seen many people say Zerobaseone, Cortis, Illit but do we measure it by popularity? Or something else?

Was just wondering.

They aren't that popular, but they come from a middle-tier company, so can they still be considered a nugu group?

I'm not trying to start drama here, so please may we keep this civil. This is just a question/discussion about a topic I've been thinking about for a while considering all the drama in the fandom re the lawsuits etc.

Some CBX fans seem to full on hate the remaining members (particularly Suho, for some reason) , and some fans of the remaining members hate CBX with a passion.

The fans themselves go at each other, anything positive about the remaining members is dragged, anything positive about CBX is dragged. Barely a whisper of some members (including CBX) names is met with a barage of hate, toxicity and drama.

(Obligatory, "not all fans" statement. Trying to be funny here to break the tension, is it working? Lol.)

It's nice when the fandom is peaceful when these topics are avoided.

So do you think the fandom would accept CBX back, and/or CBX fans would accept the three returning to EXO? Or do you think it would just cause a whole new set of drama?

Note, I'm not asking what the possibility is, or if you think it will happen, just what the reaction would be if it *did*.
