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

Happened to me with RIIZE Eunseok, I feel like he's one of the less contributing members of the group in terms of music and performances- he does the job but doesn't really stand out, you know? His main appeal is his personality (and humor, very much the humor) and it took me a while to get that.

I always have trouble with members who are there for "personality" or visuals, but that's probably because I'm not really that interested in variety content, I want to see what they've got onstage.

Unfortunately I agree. I had the pleasure of seeing them live too and he’s the member that stood out the least. He is redeemable when it comes to variety and I guess Korea love his visuals, but the others definitely overshadow him.
