If your bias group has soloists and/or subunits... (1 Viewer)

[centen]

Then do you like and support them all equally and just as much as your bias group? Or do you have some soloists/subunits that interest you more than others?

 

[Ahsoka]

It varies depending on the members involved and how good the music is

 

[centen]

For myself, generally: no. I'll support subunits/soloists if I like the music just as much as (or in some cases, more than) the original group's music, but a lot of those are exploring other genres and they don't always hit for me.

From (G)I-DLE, I love K/DA and Yuqi's solos. Probably listen to them as much as (G)I-DLE's music. Miyeon's MY album is quite solid, but more mellow, so I have to be in the mood for it. And Soyeon makes fun music, but in general, I tend to prefer nasal-toned rappers in groups and find it a bit much on its own. Soojin's music suits her style, but none of it has quite landed for me.

For WOO!AH! and Purple Kiss, I'm pretty indifferent toward EL7Z UP compared to their original groups. Swan's solo was lovely, but I like PK for their creepy cute songs and Twenty is very different, so I wouldn't skip it in a playlist, but don't go out of my way for it either.

I don't think my other main faves have official solos or subunits otherwise.

And in groups that aren't my faves, there are a lot of subunits or solos I prefer to the main group, lol.

I've never hidden the fact that despite how much I really like SNSD, I've always been heavily biased towards Taeyeon. Taeyeon was the one who drew me into KPop and SNSD, and Taeyeon is the one member who's activities I fully follow and the one who's solo albums I buy.

I really like fromis but the only member I truly love is hayoung However since she needs Fromis I support the entire group.

 

[Tickita]

Nah. I like them if I like the music.

@Selfmate what does the Akgae police say to those cases?

 

[Moguri]

I think I kinda support them equally for Twice, but if I don't like the songs, I won't stream them much

 

[The_LastRomeo]

I support them equally, tho I gravitate towards Baekhyuns and Kai's music than the others and I really don't like ballads so I don't really listen to Chen's stuff

[Moguri]

I also do not stream songs of the main group much if I don't like it yes

 

[nekolecrimson]

It depends on the group and if the members put out music I enjoy outside of the main group. I follow all of Kara for example during their solo activities but for SNSD it is only Taeyeon, Seohyun, HYO, and Tiffany (Jessica too if we count her here, I am OT9). For Victon I have only enjoyed Seungwoo and DoHanse's music separate from the group so that is what I support. I tried watching the other member's of Victon in the shows they are acting in but did not really enjoy their acting style, so I stopped. For Epik High I love them all but to be honest Tablo is the only one who stands on his own for me to be able to listen to his solos. I love all of Bigbang's solos (no I do not include the piece of poop in that), and GD/Taeyang as well as GD / TOP

 

[mysteric]

i treat them as an independent act altogether, sulli's one of my most played artists on spotify but i could be hardly bothered by some of the units for eg

 

[Belgizen]

Depends if the music is my style

 

[Yerichu]

I still support no matter what as long as they're an active member or even if they do leave, still supporting

 

[magali]

most of the time, no. i don't fully stop supporting them, i just dont really listen to their music. i cant hide that i'm a really big oec-127 fan tho an exception is probably WJSN, i like tb and chocome equally

 

[ani07]

yes, I support everyone equally

 

[RandAlThor]

IZ*ONE was broken apart, i follow all the girls and buy the soloists albums but with ive and ssera i mostly follow the x iz girls ... but i do like many of the other girls.


snsd i lean to Jessica and Taeyeons solos. but i have most of the others.

 

[Poetry]

To answer the first question: No.

 

[babyv004]

I dont stan groups anymore but the answer is no
Like many are saying it depends if i like the type of music their are releasing or not. For example i tend to not like ballads so any group, solo or sub-unit more focused on that i usually will not like.
Not even when i stanned groups i forced myself to like all things my favs released and this is one of the reasons i noticed i work better by not stanning groups and just listen almost everything (well mostly just the main track and b-sides) that are released in kpop and then select the songs i liked from each group/solo
