Does the busier schedule come with the price of being the face of the group?

Editorial that talks about 'one top members' aka faces of the popular idol groups and the busier schedules that come with the price of being the most popular/spotlighted. The discussion was sparked by Lee Joon's post expressing his building stress over his inability to perform at his best.

Suzy is used as an example of being the breadwinner for her entire company. Hyuna is used as an example of how the company used her and her prior connection to the Wonder Girls in the beginning of 4minute's debut to get their name known and how it backfired because now Hyuna's the only one the public knows and 4minute is on the backburner.

Jaekyung is used as an example of a member that works hard to promote her group but with little results.

The article questions whether it's fair for one member to carry the weight of the entire group and whether or not an idol group can still achieve fame/relevancy without having a 'face member'.

1. [+98, -2] I remember Sunhwa saying on Strong Heart that it was difficult for her because it wasn't like she could complain about it so nobody would think of consoling her or lending an ear to hear her complaints. She just had to keep being pulled around from schedule to schedule.

2. [+91, -5] Why is Jaekyung in this? ㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+77, -0] It really must be difficult for them...

4. [+73, -2] What's worse is when you're working this hard and you or your group still struggles to get popular

5. [+80, -14] Who's Jaekyung

6. [+65, -6] I've never even seen Jaekyung on any TV show

7. [+62, -9] I get why Lee Joon, Hyuna, and Suzy are in the article but why Jaekyung?

8. [+53, -1] I will always be understanding of celebrities who feel the need to complain or express their frustration with their schedules.

9. [+61, -11] It really doesn't matter if you're popular... You waste your life away running after schedule after schedule. I heard JYP makes their groups split profits even from individual activities. Suzy's gotta be an angel.

10. [+66, -17] Jaekyung works hard but Rainbow never gets anywhere. It's sad to watch.

11. [+43, -3] What can you do about it... It's all about supply and demand. You have to supply the demand. It's better that they're tired but popular than have to struggle with being irrelevant.
