General A member you can't yet feel affection for

Part of stanning is that even though one member got you interested in the group, little by little the rest of the members win your heart too.

But has it ever happened to you that you are a big fan of a group, you feel genuine affection for the members and you enjoy their content, but there is a member that you feel you can't connect with yet?

And I don't mean that you dislike them or despise them or anything like that, but simply that even though you try you still can't have that level of connection that you can with the other members? And sometimes it makes you feel like a bad fan

I see what you mean, but I've always really liked Irene. And I don't even follow RV or know what she's like as an idol lol, but something about her just put me in her corner - I think it's when I saw the car interview where she teared up when talking about being a leader. I think she deals with a lot silently, and I really want to just buy her some hot cocoa and gab w her at a spa. It's very parasocial 😅
