Basically:
- I ❤ them. Duh. I can't stan group if I don't like the members.
- I like their songs. It doesn't have to be an incredible discography per se but if I overall like their music, then its fine. But if a group has shit music, even if they have amazing personalities then I probably won't stan them. (sorry nctzens but this is why I won't stan. Dream is not half bad though, Chewing Gum is good)
- I follow them. Like, I know when they have a comeback, what shows they appear on, etc.
- They click with me. This is kinda just personal but there are some groups with great personalities and music I like which I don't stan because they just don't have that "it" for me. It's hard to explain.
