Complaints about Gyuri.

Let's talk about it. I've seen so many people on this subreddit make backhanded comments about Gyuri. So let's break it down. (Everybody has their own opinions offcourse)

'She's really talented but...'

1) 'She doesn't fit the concept they are going for.'

What in the fortune teller- We don't know the concept yet. I've seen some people speculating that it might be a fairytale concept (because the host keeps bringing that up). But even that isn't confirmed yet. 

Some people argue that they are going to choose a concept that specifically compliments Jeemin, but she fits into a lot of concepts...so that still doesn't really give us much info.

2) 'she doesn't fit dark concepts. + she only fits cute concepts.'

We've never really had the chance to see her perform in a darker concept, so that makes it a prediction again. I would also note that 'dark' can definitely be combined with cuteness. For example, artists like Jazmin Bean and Poppy are literally known for being creepy cute & singing about dark subjects. And Gyuri actually looked really good in her intro for part 2, where she was shown in a darker setting. I think I even prefered it (that's my opinion offcourse, but you can check it for yourself).

3) 'her babyface doesn't fit together with the other girls.'

I think we overestimate the importance that idols from the same group need to look alike. It's really not that important. For example, Sunoo from Enhypen looks a lot more cutesy than the other members. But he still eats every comeback (in a dark vampire concept, mind you). Another example; Eunchae from Le Serrafim has a huge babyface compared to the other members, but again, she doesn't stand out in a bad way (+ she's doing girlcrush/baddie concept, eventhough she looks so cute).

4) 'she's too young.'

Honestly, I understand that opinion completely. Ideally everybody should be atleast 20, before signing a 7 year contract. But most of the people who say this, do support girls like Saebi or Jungeun (and I love them too, I get it). But then the age-argument loses its meaning. Saebi and Gyuri are both from 2008, and Gyuri will probably be 16 if she debuts (which is a lot better than some other idols debut ages, like Ni-ki debuting at 14 or Seowon who recently debuted at 13?? HELP).

5) 'Saebi needs to become the golden maknae.'

Girl what-  Saebi is gonna shine whether she's the maknae or not, her stage presence is crazy. Also, why are we taking these labels so seriously? I literally thought 'golden maknae' was just a nickname for Jungkook? Since when did this become an actual thing? Does it add anything to the artist? I don't know what to say about this, because I'm confused. The maknae is just whoever happens to be the youngest member, it's really not that deep😭

She's probably not gonna debut anyways, so it's really odd how people keep making these weird comments under every post about her, as if she's a threat? Gurl bye-
