-As someone who doesn't even bother to watch self-produced content of idols that I don't know, this is fascinating. I tend to discover idols through their appearance in variety shows. I'm not interested in idols I don't know, that's why I don't watch their content at all.
-It's fun to like multiple groups all at once. I get to watch various performances and self-produced content.
-As someone who has multiple biases, I have to admit that it's very hard. Let alone liking multiple groupsㅜㅜ I personally prefer to only like one group...
-That is very fascinating. I only like one idol. I don't even stan the other members in his group.
-Promotion periods tend to get shorter these days, that's why I personally think only liking one idol is not fun enough...
-I have a bias, but I also casually stan other female idolsㅋㅋ I don't stan her as much as I did before. I only watch the videos and content that I feel like watching and spend my money reasonably. I have never been this happy as a fangirlㅋㅋ
-I like all idol groupsㅋㅋㅋ I have a bias in every idol groupsㅋㅋㅋ But I only support three groups and one solo artistㅎㅎ
-I only stan one female idol, but there's nothing much to watch so I end up stanning other idols as well.
-There's only one group that I passionately support and spend my money on. However, I also casually listen to songs and watch content from multiple other groups. Occasionally, I also purchase a copy of their albums at most.
-At first, I didn't understand how people can like multiple groups. However, I eventually became one of themㅋㅋ I have a lot of biases and they're all from different groups
-Back then, people would get hated for liking multiple groups. They would even be called names as wellㅋㅋㅋㅋ I really like how liking multiple groups is being normalized nowㅋㅋㅋ
-I can only get drawn to other groups if I quit a fandom first...
-I'm a fan of 2 boy groupsㅋㅋㅋ I'm very busy and happy...
-I'm having a lot of fun because my bias is in multiple groupsㅋㅋㅋ I don't spend a lot of money on my bias, though...
-What's the standard of being a fan?ㅎ I've been the concerts of 4 girl groups. But I only identify myself as a fan of one of them and not the remaining 3...
