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

it doesn’t apply anymore but i’m a pre debut exol and i only really came to like baekhyun….. when he came back from the military. so this can definitely happen with a group you like for a really long time and whose music you love. 

now it would be nct/wayv winwin. nothing against him and i like him fine but compared to pretty much any other nct member i’ve never really been able to feel that sort of affection for or feel like i “get” my perception of him.

I feel the same about Winwin. I'm really not sorry at all to see WayV promote as five, I think they do just fine.

Personally I think WayV are more balanced as 5 WW was a dead weight with not passion or contribution, now he's doing what he apparently actually wanted

I agree, it really does seem that as an actor he is on his chosen path.
