not to pry or anything, but i’ve noticed megan has probably never mentioned her father, not on occasions that i can recall at least, and i was wondering why. as far as we know, are her parents divorced perhaps? or maybe she just doesn’t really get along with him for whatever reason? ‘cause i know dani, lara and sophia are way more likely to mention their parents (probably also because they’re kinda public figures in their respective fields/are more comfortable with being online, i suppose) (though from what i’ve seen dani’s parents are divorced/separated?), while yoonchae and manon tend to be more private (because of their own reserved nature and since their parents are not in the public eye as well), so that leaves megan kinda in the middle.
i’ve noticed that too
the only time she’s mentioned him (that ik of) was in a weverse dm where she said that he works for an airline and that’s how she took so many flights to LA as a kid
he was at one of their beautiful chaos tour stops but idk which one. just that he was backstage and they hugged. i’m assuming it was LA or NY but i don’t feel like trying to figure that out
it’s probably him wanting privacy or something but idk. none of my business
ik lara’s, sophia’s, and yoonchae’s parents are still together. no idea about the other three members
i don’t think dani talks about her dad suuuper frequently (like i can’t remember her saying anything that hasn’t been very brief) but i haven’t seen most of her solo lives so don’t quote me on that
yoonchae’s less private than manon imo. regarding her parents at least. i think she’s brought them up more often and she’s definitely posted pictures of them/shown them on camera more than manon
i don’t mean to sound rude in any way, i love all the girls down, but is it just me who’s being rubbed off in the wrong way by the way they almost never put sophia in the centre? and it’s not to fixate on roles or anything, because they don’t really hold any significance to me. it just kinda gives me the ick how they rarely push the literal leader of the group at the front. i wish they could give her a chance to shine more, and i wonder what’s the logic behind sidelining her so much
i get what you mean. idk if there’s been a definitive sophia song/era yet
sophia being sidelined has been a topic of discussion for a very long time (iirc there is/was a boycott in the philippines about it). i don't have much of an opinion because the group is relatively new and it's hard to tell if it'll be like this forever, yk?
for example, we don't know choreo or line distribution for the new ep yet. and if sophia isn't "pushed" this ep, then the next, surely. we all know sophia is ridiculously talented. if not, then yeah, there’s an issue
choreo
the hyperlinks lead to youtube videos. the number in the parentheses refers to times in the center
from least to greatest: MANON (18), SOPHIA (17-20), MEGAN (20), YOONCHAE (21), LARA (23), DANIELA (26)
lyrics
i don't feel like counting the exact line distribution. so, i'm going to say what part of the song and how many times it happens. e.g. chorus (2) and post-chorus (1). no number means there's only one in the song. e.g. verse 1
from least to greatest: interlude (0), intro (1), verse 2 (1), verse 3 (1), bridge (2), outro (2), pre-chorus (5), verse 1 (7), post-chorus (10), chorus (21)
from least to greatest (overall): SOPHIA (48), MANON (50), YOONCHAE (50), DANIELA (54), MEGAN (57), LARA (61)
thoughts
keep in mind i could have counted wrong. also, these are all ot6 except pinky up
for center, the distance between sophia's total (17-20) is equal to megan's (20) and not far away from the largest total, daniela (26). 26 - 17 = 9 while 26 - 20 = 6
sophia sings the choruses (sometimes other parts as well) of eleven of their songs (debut, my way, i'm pretty, tonight i might, flame, gameboy, mean girls, m.i.a, monster high fright song, internet girl, and pinky up). for their other songs (four. touch, time lapse, gnarly, and gabriela), it's a mix of pre-/post-choruses and verses
for all members, their biggest use (can’t think of a better word rn) is in the chorus. sophia has the most choruses (27). the next closest is lara (25). the one with the least is daniela (15)
second biggest usage: manon (verse 2), sophia (pre-chorus), daniela (pre-chorus), lara (pre-chorus), megan (verse 1), and yoonchae (post-chorus)
sophia's lyrics total (48) is the least, but the disparity isn't too bad. the next closest are manon (50) and yoonchae (50). the farthest away is lara (61). 61 - 48 = 13
things seem to be relatively okay in terms of what i covered here. both could be better though
