Time Stamp: Same day I thought of my ITZY opinion
There are positions in a group for a reason.
I feel the need to mention this because people still don't understand that positions are there for a reason. There's main, lead, and sub for each category in a Kpop group (for example lead vocal, main vocal, and sub-vocal), and they all exist for a reason. Let's continue using vocals as our prime example here. The lead vocal is usually the one with the most distinguishable voice and who tends to start off the song, as well as the one who sings the verses and chorus which then get supported by the main vocal. The main vocal is someone who gets the more challenging parts of the song which could be high notes or low notes depending on their voice, and the ones who are in charge of adlibs in the song. Sub vocals are members who can sing if needed, but it isn't their specialty and they are better trained in a different area. I feel like a very good example is Lia from Itzy. A lot of people were saying she was not as good of a dancer or a lazy dancer which is completely untrue. 4 out of the 5 Itzy members trained to be the main dancer whereas Lia decided not to. That's completely her choice and no one should be hating her because as someone who didn't train specifically for the main dancer she does an amazing job all around. Never send hate to anyone especially if you don't know the whole story. Hate bandwagons honestly need to be stopped because I'm so sick of them and I'm pretty sure everyone else is. If you don't have anything kind to say then don't say anything and just move on. Anyway, back to the opinion. Idols audition for the category they think they are best at and then the company determines if they pass or not. Just because they are an idol does not mean they have to excel in every area. To hold someone to that standard is absolutely ridiculous and needs to be stopped. That's why positions exist and have a purpose because not everyone is going to excel in every area no matter how much delusional people think every idol needs to go over the top and be amazing at every single thing. It's not possible to be perfect at everything, so please drop it and move on.
