I'm fine with solo stans/solo stanning, as long as you are respectful and kind to the other members
Now this has DEFINITELY got to be a hot take but as time has gone on, I find myself not minding solo stans as much just as long as they are kind and respectful to the other members/not bringing the others down just to make their favorite look better. There are actually a couple idols where I feel like I really like them but haven't really gotten into the group, so I kind of only really like and vibe with that one member. Now does that mean I ignore the other members and try not to learn about them, no. I try my hardest every time to make sure I know about the other members as well as pay attention to everyone during practices or live performances, but I won't deny that I also naturally just gravitate to the one member that caught my attention more and look at them more (which I feel like is very natural and common for all new stans. You see a member that catches your eye, and consistently watch them more but still make sure to pay attention to everyone as well).
An example of this would be Keeho from P1harmony. Now, I absolutely love and adore everything about Keeho. I think that not only is he a super talented dancer with an outstanding voice (that is so underappreciated might I add), but I just absolutely adore and vibe with his personality so much. I feel like if I knew him personally, we would genuinely be best friends, and get along super well. However, Keeho is like the only member I really vibe with right now as I am not fully into the rest of the group or their music yet. Does that mean I hate the other members and their music, no. It just means I haven't really gotten into the rest of the group and their music yet, which is totally ok. I plan to actually get more into them this year but for now, I only really stan and vibe with Keeho which again, is totally fine. I am not bashing any of the other members nor any of their personal skills and music, which is why I don't really mind solo-stanning if you do it in THIS manner. If you are someone who proceeds to drag every other member down just to lift your favorite up, then I have a problem. If you are in the same boat as me however, and only vibe with one member currently, that is completely fine and nothing to be ashamed of.
I am super excited to get into P1harmony and even if I don't end up vibing with everyone and their music, I will still continue to wish them the best and give my support. Anyway, that's my somewhat short rant about solo stanning. Please remember to respect everyone (idol or not) as we are all human, and we all have feelings too.
