Netizens shared their thoughts on the most popular members and discussed whether Chinese members are needed in K-pop groups.
1. Just seeing V's birthday support, they are almost at the level of running their own business.
2. V's the biggest.
3. It's not like the Chinese members are the most popular ones over there, so why do we still have them?
4. Most of them have that cold aura.
5. It's interesting how there's no Chinese member.
6. Their visuals are so fancy ㅎ
7. So what's the reason for us to have Chinese members?....
8. Chinese people really look at the face + skinny body.
9. The top of the top here is V.
10. The Chinese kids probably are into talent + face.
11. Oh Wonwoo.
12. Karina is too pretty.
13. Oh~ all of them deserve to be here. Their visuals are so fancy.
14. Seeing V, Wonwoo, and Yeonjun, the HYBE male idols' faces kinda have a similar vibe... long eyes and fox-type...
15. The visual + the popular member.
V's fanbase in China is just too huge. Especially when he never promoted there and the excessive ban of kpop content, it is surely impressive
