it makes sense that the company would want to Center Mia in this way,
so it has come to my attention after uploading my honest thoughts Everglow's come back
with "DUN DUN" that a lot of you are actually really genuinely upset about
the line distribution so I thought my annoying second gen @$$ could take a
minute or 10 it's to talk about that, because hi my name is Angelina I can
predict the future! On that note, I'm almost at 100k so if you want me to expose *insert KPOP Youtuber* for
having hurt my feelings six months ago, then you're definitely gonna want to subscribe
because at 100k I can't promise that I'm gonna keep my mouth shut about my kpop
youtuber beefs! so if we check out any of the videos where they show the line
distribution for "dun dun" Mia does get the most percentage of lines compared to
the rest of the members if we look at all of their songs line distributions, so
while we're here, let's take a look at all of their songs lines distributions
so if we take a look at this video by LineUp Kpop for the line distribution
of Bon Bon Chocolat, we see that Mia gets 32 percent of the lines, Sihyeon gets
28 percent of the lines, E:U gets 15 percent of the lines, Onda gets 11
percent of the lines, Yiren gets 6 percent of the lines and Aisha gets a 5 percent
of the lines, so 32 percent compared to 5 percent is definitely I mean it's a
little bit questionable it's definitely not the worst I've ever seen, but let's
keep going! then if we look at this video by hexa6on, hexa 6 on, for the line
distribution of adiós we seed that Mia gets 32 percent of the lines, Yiren gets
16, Onda gets 15, Aisha gets 13, Sihyeon gets 13, and E:U gets 9, so again I mean
yeah if you're gonna compare it like this, 32 percent compared to 9 percent
yeah it does seem a little bit unfair but again, you know- it's not- I don't
think it's that terrible! okay so lastly we're gonna check out this video by Meon
for the line distribution of "dun dun" again Mia consistently is getting 32
percent of the lines, but the member with the lowest percentage of line still is
getting 10% which is still a step up from Bon Bon Chocolat, now of course
if we pair this with centering Mia with screentime, having her have the
most screen time out of all the other members, having her have a dance break as
well, I can definitely see how this could anger some fans, how this could
frustrate some fans and maybe this is just an unpopular opinion of mine but to
me this just isn't really anything new and quite personally I've definitely
seen much worse line distributions in kpop, but here's the thing companies
aren't dumb! I just don't think 12 companies went through my mind, let me
rephrase! companies aren't dumb... all the time and here's why! I think the company
definitely has certain intentions in doing this particularly with a member
who is able to catch the most attention, the thing is if we look at a lot of
k-pop groups we are going to notice a certain trend a lot of companies do this,
a lot of companies will want to Center a specific member within the group. if we
look at 2NE1, CL was pushed as Center a lot and before Jennie she was the, you know, OG
YG's princess and then of course in blackpink we have Jennie being pushed
as the center, in 4Minute we also have Hyuna being pushed as Center and in
2NE2 we have Angelina being you know very blatantly favoured among all the other
members bye Bye-G entertainment themselves! so Mia does have a lot to
offer and she has a lot of stage presence there's no doubt about that and
she has a lot of interesting facial expressions and to me it makes sense
that the company would want to Center those elements because those elements is
what keeps an audience interested, so in retrospect this is probably a good way
to garner new fans who probably don't really care a lot about line
distribution in the first place but it's also a good way to anger your current
fans who recognize a certain level of perhaps favoritism that definitely
upsets them, but it doesn't mean that the other members don't have anything
interesting to offer. it doesn't mean that they aren't interesting, it's just
in my opinion, a marketing strategy that definitely works because on one hand it
garners new fans and on the other hand, the buzz about the unfair line
distribution within the community itself still gets a new song clout because
people are angered about it and people are talking about it and people are
commenting on it, which definitely helps the algorithm *cough cough* and this
doesn't necessarily mean that I completely agree with terrible line
distribution, because I can definitely imagine is stressful on the artists
since it can be something very obvious that is exacerbated by fans, I'm just
kind of explaining my theories on why certain members are centered a little
more than others, but don't get me wrong I've definitely seen my fair share of
unfair line distributions across my, you know kpop stanning career, which brings
us to our next point standing out in different ways! another thing I've
noticed is sometimes when the line distribution is really bad we see the
company make an effort to make the quote unquote "forgotten" member stand out in
different ways, so though the member might not get as many lines, they might
stand out in other ways such as getting more screen time, such as getting weirder
fashion or more interesting fashion and if we take a look at Onda, we can see
that in the previous comeback she had pink hair and in this comeback she has
orange hair and if we look at some of stage performances we can see that
sometimes she does have outfits that stand out and if we look into second gen
kpop because why not, a really good example of this is Dara from 2NE1
admittedly she probably didn't get the most lines or the most interesting lines
within 2NE1 songs but if we look at 'it hurts' she got a lot of screen time even
though she didn't get that many lines and she had the most interesting hair
technically, Bom was a close second though if we do look throughout her
entire career we can see yg really pushing this very interesting style onto
her these very interesting hairstyles onto her which in my opinion were really
iconic, I just feel like a lot of people AKA kpop shake shit on these
hairstyles but no one in kpop was bringing this level of innovation they
still aren't I mean you just don't see hairstyles like this anymore
which is a shame 2NE1 went there you don't @ me, but the point is this isn't
really something new, we're always going to see some unfair line distributions
and in my opinion I do think it is mostly
companies you know somewhat knowing what they're doing, not all the time we have
proof that shows us that some companies really have messed up, for example one of
the most unfair line distributions as of recent that I could think of was
spring day where j-hope literally had a zero lines and he was actually given a
few of RM's lines in the live performances but I've been told on just
a fake fan and I'm not allowed to have an opinion on BTS so we're just gonna
move on from that! which brings us to our third point taking it too personally
that being said I am NOT a hardcore everglow Stan, I do follow them I do like
them but this isn't something that hurts my heart, and I know it hurts a lot of
people's hearts because they love everglow, they want every member to be able
to shine equally and it makes a lot of sense but again I feel this comes from a
sense of us taking it too personally rather than trying to understand why the
company would want to do this in the first place, I mean if you stan a group
you're going to allegedly love them right and you're obviously going to
think that they deserve more than what they're getting if you feel they're
being treated unfairly, but maybe the part just doesn't really
fit them or maybe their presence is just needed elsewhere but at the end of the
day it doesn't mean that they're not wanted or that they are not an integral
part of the group, the last thing I want to talk about is the speculation of
Yena joining the group, so there's a lot of speculation that the bad line
distribution is for when Yena joins the group and then consequently she will be
able to take some of Mia's lines first of all I don't buy that I don't think
this has really been confirmed anywhere just there's been a lot of speculation
about it like some of the members have speculated that maybe she could
potentially join the group after IZ*one disbands, to me that seems a little
bit odd I'm not really a fan of groups that are ever-changing in nature it's
probably wide don't stand NCT, calm down Markly also what I felt was the
downfall of after school was the fact that members could graduate, Bekah was my
bias okay! but this is my personal opinion on the
situation however the whole bad line distribution is because she's going to
join doesn't make sense to me because you could literally
just cut lines however you want there's literally nothing stopping you I mean
you created these line distributions in the first place there's nothing stopping
you just like recreating them right so it doesn't make sense to me that Mia
would get so many lines because someone else might join the group in the future
may or may not you know allegedly who freaking knows so to conclude sometimes
things just are what they are it is what it is
sometimes a member just doesn't fit the concept a hundred percent or you know
their presence is just overall so much better fitting you know within the
group's dynamic itself and companies are always at the end of the day going to do
what is most profitable for them so yeah that's basically all I had to say thank
you so much for making it to the end of this video I'm also very curious to know
do you think Yena should join everglow? do you think
that's a good idea do you think it would be weird
I'll see you guys next time bye
