Who's more popular in IOI

I've recently been following up on the IOI reunion and noticed how Somi seems to be "the girl" in ex-IOI. Girls seem to look up to her, defer to her, she's always in the centre of attention, while Chungha always seems to be somewhere in the background. Is it because of their personalities, or is Somi actually considered the most popular out of the girls in both the group as well as SK and that's why it's happening? I always thought Chungha was the most popular/successful, due to the sheer number of solo hits she's released. Whenever I think about her music it's a hit after hit. Somi is no slouch either, but perhaps I'm wrong when it comes to the general sentiment. What do you think? Keep in mind I'm not very well versed in I.O.I lore.

This video recently came across my feed. What has happened to the big stage collabs between peer groups? Has kpop become too competitive, cannibalistic and segmented that we longer get to experience absolute gems like this? If you're a newer kpop fan, this is like ILLIT, H2H, BAEMON and izna collabing and covering [insert the name of the most acclaimed song of the 4th gen].

I've seen a lot of people get turned away from Irene's recent album, because of the title track (Biggest Fan) and it made me think as to how important it is to select the right title track or pre-release track. Yes, Biggest Fan (the song) is mediocre at best, but the strength of that album lies entirely in the b-sides. The album is fantastic. SPIT IT OUT, Million Miles Away, Face to Face are such great songs, all with great potential to be the title track. This is something of a meta argument, but I would like to see some stats as to how many people got turned off because the title track was either bad or not the right choice. Was this the case for you with Biggest Fan? Or maybe was it a thing with another album that you later revisited, despite the title track being bad, and the album itself turned out great?

That name is so bad, it sounds like if you buy the concert tickets and you drive to the venue, it turns out to be a suburban house, you enter it and there's Chris Hansen in there, telling you to take a sit.

That name is so bad, it sounds like a codename for a combined global operation between FBI and Interpol to conduct the biggest PDF manhunt in history.
