I’ve been a decade-long kpop fan. And I’ve noticed, new Kpop fans or fans that are unfamiliar with Kpop complaining that their idols during formation in the choreography is at the back frequently. But for as long as I could remember, watching SNSD and kpop survival shows, isn’t it still the center even if the idol is in the back? (It’s an infamous Kpop formation where there’s 2 people in the center, one in the front and back. And if you’re perspective is in the middle, the idol in the back is ‘covered’ by the idol in the front.)
I think new Kpop fans or unfamiliar fans complain and accuse the company of ‘hiding’ or ‘neglecting’ the member when it’s not. I remember, YoonA being center in SNSD, and in older Kpop, being center means not straying far from the center as much as possible and I understood it as such, am I wrong? If some older kpop fans can confirm this, I’d appreciate this lol.
So technically speaking, even if their idol is at the back (still in the middle) and seems covered by the member in front, it’s still a favorable thing because they’re still in the center. I think it’s mostly misunderstood because their perspective online is through the camera’s lenses. Of course, in one fixed point, it looks unfavorable to be in the middle-back but in real life or in a performance if you’re part of the crowd, that member is visible in different perspectives (obviously). And I think that’s what most new Kpop fans or unfamiliar fans don’t realize and misunderstood. (Am I making sense? English isn’t my first language, sorry.)
