K-netizens have recently expressed their opinions on the vanishing trend of specialized roles such as vocalist, rapper, dancer, and leader within an idol group. 

In the K-pop industry, groups traditionally featured members with designated roles, each specializing in specific areas like vocals, dance, or rap. This structure shaped the group's dynamics and highlighted each member's distinct talents, allowing fans to appreciate their individual skills.

However, recent K-pop trends have shifted towards more versatile idol groups. Today's artists are increasingly expected to be all-rounders, adept in various facets of performance and entertainment. This move away from strict specialization allows members to develop a wider range of abilities and demonstrate versatility in their careers.

While this evolution represents a more all-around approach to talent development, it has sparked mixed reactions. Some Korean netizens express concerns that this jack-of-all-trades trend may dilute the unique individuality that once defined K-pop groups, impacting the industry more negatively than positively.

One netizen wrote, "When a talented group doesn't have specific positions, then I would think, 'they must all be talented,' but if a group that is less skillful does that, what crosses your mind is, 'there doesn't seem to be anyone talented enough to be designated as the main vocalist'."

In response to the post, K-netizens commented, "A group that doesn't have specific positions seems to mean the group lacks members with standout talent. They might say, they want multifaceted members but it makes it seem like no one is exceptionally talented in anything," "Honestly, listening to songs from a group without a main vocal is annoying. It feels like I'm listening to some advertisement song, not a full song," "I agree," "I agree with this post. Everyone starts to be similar to each other," and "I totally agree. If a group that's not that talented doesn't have specific positions, then I think 'oh...that's not surprising'," and "I can think of a few groups... lol."
