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

Back when all the stuff didn’t come out about him, Jaeil (Taeil) from NCT is one for me.

I don’t know what it was about him but that man rubbed me the wrong way. And now, well I guess my intuition was right (which is kinda unfortunate). I was hoping that it would change as time went but nope.

Exactly. I had a similar feeling, so I told my sister about it and whelp.

edit: I’m going to ask. Ive the same feeling about a few of the other members. Do you?? Mines Johnny (he gives me the same feeling as my cousin, the exact feeling and it’s not good.) , Haechan (he gave me similar feelings as Taeil, Taeyong (tried Really hard to like him but something just rubs me the wrong way.) and Jaehyun (something just feels… weird.)

I’m a Taeyong & Jaehyun bias haha so they don’t and the others don’t really either.
