this is probably an unpopular opinion and uneducated take but it always feels weird seeing members of active groups join survival shows to be part of a new group (unless they’re already on the verge of falling apart).
to me it’s like they’re saying“my current group isn’t good enough” “i’m unhappy with my co-members / coworkers”and in all fairness, who wouldn’t try to advance their career? so i don’t think it’s wrong of a kpop idol to take time off from their current group schedule but it just feels.. strange? maybe some idols do this just to promote themselves / their current group on television whether or not they make it to the final lineup, however i see a few contestants in relatively new groups competing in survival shows when their contracts are still active.
maybe ‘disloyalty’ is a bit of a strong word but i don’t know what the motive is. how do you compete in a survival show trying to leave your current group thinking you’re too good for it, just to fail and return?
