Being a leader for a kpop group it takes a toll and mentally and lot of leaders struggle to keep group together

[NyAppyMiku]

We talk about leaders and the group members but there is always staff behind them. The staff is truly doing the hard work to help to make these idols amazing.

Imagine losing a member to suicide like Jonghyun and Onew of SHINee was hauled back into the limelight after being on hiatus that year. How is any leader prepared for that? How will they handle it? Do they stay together or do they leave the company? Which is the best decision for the group and honoring the fallen member? If you ask me Onew had the toughest challenge that any leader can face. He was facing a firing squad of public opinion and his own feelings of grief, loss, and helplessness not only as a leader but as a person. He was suffering with depression and anxiety as well. He felt exacty the same way these leaders feel except he faced a worst-case scenario nobody wants. Then again the leader is as strong as the people he carries. It means the other members have to step up to support him and share the burden so it's not all on him. They don't want to see their leader crumble. Any group feels the same when they see their leader struggling.

Suho is still there as one of the best leaders. Losing members, getting scolded for standing up and the hate for not being able to keep EXO as EXO. He has basically taken the role of the members' mom. Just because Suho doesn't put his worries out, doesnt mean that he is relaxed all the time. When EXO debuted, Suho had to buy the member's food because SM was a shitty company who refused to do any sort of promotions (talk about Big3 privilege now). They had to hold up banners asking people to come to their fanmeet and gheir stages. Imagine what Suho went through. When he left for military, the members themseleves said how difficult it was for Suho and he deserved a break.

The fact that Sakura was able to negotiated with HYBE even before signing into the company, and HYBE agreed with it, that's how in demand she is 💀👏

Every Leader in K-pop groups are so hard warking, respect to every Leader .

My respect for SCOUPS just keeps on increasing.

I respect all the leaders. But this guy, really went through some hardest shit. As a trainee, he was all of a sudden told that he would be the leader, the pampered youngest kid of his family suddenly become the one with the most responsibility, his best friend at that time betrayed him affecting him mentally and emotionally, his company had a record of fucking up their groups with their mismanagement so the pressure to keep everything together was ten times bigger, SVT was doing everything from producing to choreographing to promoting in variety shows themselves and HE WAS IN CHARGE to monitor it all as the leader. He took all the pressure alone silently until he broke and had a severe anxiety attack in the middle of their concert in 2019, and STILL, this man always puts on a smile for his members and fans. He has never ONCE complained about his role as a leader even if it was so hard for him. What's sad is HE DOESN'T GET ENOUGH APPRECIATION HE DESERVES.

I hope you get all the happiness in the world SCOUPS. WE LOVE YOU.

Jungwon from ENHYPEN became a leader at just 16 years old even though he is second youngest in the group and I respect him a lot for having to act mature despite his young age

[a.a]

Massive respect for all the leaders in the industry

[haruka_kun]

I respect Sakura's request. I understand why she chose not to be the leader!! She's been Japanese and Korean idol for so long that she didn't wanted more responsibilities. The leader needed to be flexible! But she somehow binds the groups bond more and Chaewon is one of the best leader who melts up with any concept just like how a leader should be!!!

This is another reason why I admire Bang Chan so much. He's amazing, not only did he pick all the members of Stray Kids himself, but he basically raised those boys. He is able to balance all of his idol duties while being the best leader ever. He is responsible, caring, and strong. His members are the most important thing in the world to him and he would sacrifice everything for them. He is 100% a born leader. SKZ are so lucky to have him. ❤

I'm surprised you didn't mention Ryu Sera. She was the leader of Nine Muses (9MUSES, Namyu) at debut (2010), but was demoted when she struggled with the agencies desire to have the members (including those still in high school) wear garter belts during the MV filming for "No Playboy". Ultimately, all of the members did wear the garter belts, but Sera's multiple breakdowns during the shoot resulted in her demotion. There were other factors including her inability (in the companies eyes) to wrangle in the other members and keep them from acting up; as well as the company being unable to recognize that the lack of instant success for the group was their own fault; not the individual members.

Given the hardships she had to endure, the poor treatment from the agency (Star Empire), and, to an extent, her demotion, she left the group/company in 2014.

the fact is JAYB is on another level. He made it all possible to continue as a group even after not renewing the contract. He is the one who made it possible with his members by his side and He deserve all big praises.

[CutleryWonder]

Dreamcatcher's JiU had to go through the disbandment of Minx and then struggle alongside her members for years to get the modicum of success that they have now. All the while keeping everyone aligned and happy. She's a fantastic leader.

[madhurawarade]

why nobody is talking about soyeon gidle??? she has one of the best leadership qualities . after soojin scandal gidle could survive under her leadership

[ImOnAutopilot]

And here we have Bang Chan in Stray Kids, whom some people call "son of JYP" because he is so busy with everything, that he seems like he's a heir of Park Jin -young xD

[solasluna]

I've kinda always felt like Onew underestimated himself or never took himself seriously as a leader in SHINee's earlier days due to his laidback personality, even though the members respected him as such. I just think that boy is a lot stronger then even he himself realizes, especially after losing Jonghyun. Onew is a warrior and that pillar the boys can always lean themselves against and feel safe. ❤

[naurwaybro]

the amount of stress and mental breakdowns kpop leaders have to go through is insane and every single one deserves to be recognized. so, I would like to say we should respect EVERY KPOP LEADER cause the amount of stuff they have to go through is insane. WE LOVE YOU GUYS ❤️

I am so proud of all of these idols that are the leaders as they are doing so well and are working hard to do the best they can at being the leader as there is a big responsibility when it comes to being the leader and they might feel the pressure to be perfect leader but I’m so proud of them all. I was at high school and got offered to be the leader of some groups and sometimes have to go check on younger students and help them and I felt pressure of doing it perfectly and not making a mistake so I felt like a burden and I had to make decisions that could hurt people so I was so scared but I’m okay now and I’m proud of these idols for how well they have done

[TaoNeko]

Taeyong gets my huge respect for handling NCT
