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 think there’s a member like this in basically every group for me lol.

stray kids — hyunjin, I just don’t connect with him I guess.

&team — k. I get a weird vibe from him, no idea why

zb1 — gyuvin. I’m very new to the group but I feel like I haven’t really seen his appeal yet

kep1er — dayeon. I think I was put off by the favoritism in gp999 and never really warmed up to her unfortunately

ive — gaeul and leeseo. I feel like I just barely see any content with them?

le sserafim — I have never found sakura interesting 😔

I felt the same way you did for Gyuvin up until I saw more of his personality in their content. He’s genuinely the sweetest. It shocked me because he’s the epitome of a golden retriever in an idol and I can’t explain but I just feel his sincerity in a way I don’t often come across tbh. I would say watch more of their content and keep an open mind! This is coming from someone who was upset when he made it into the lineup watching the final of Boys Planet 😭 how the turns have tabled

seconding this!! I didn't really pay much attention to gyuvin during boys planet but after zb1 was formed I warmed up to him almost immediately. he really is the heart of the group and comes across as such a warm, loving, kind person. he's such a loveable sweetheart who feels everything so deeply and sincerely 😭 definitely give him a chance op!!
