This was very educational, OP, thank you!

I have a mutual on Twitter who alternates between obsessing over Jungkook and Jimin and they always mention that they are the “singers” and I was always thinking “are they not all singers…?”

[lolzerz]

Jimin is autotuned to all unrecognizable hell idk how he’s considered a vocalist.

I’m still laughing at how you phrased this. What a gem.

Entertainers: Louise and Nile.

I will not accept any other answers, if any of you even put the thought that Luis and Kneel are anything else i will cry!

OP i feel like this is very charitable and a case of having to put lewis SOMEWHERE bc god knows that boy can't dance, can't sing, and looks like a rat.

[hellicoptajuuce]

Louis is the anti-visual

[burntbussy]

[imnotasquirrel]

but really it's more like poor zayn, having to carry all those fugly bastards

similar to how V is the only remotely good-looking guy in BTS, idc if jin is also labeled the visual!

[imnotasquirrel]

backstreet boys, nsync... god, 90s boy bands were really unfortunate looking. were any of them the visual? girls swooned over justin timberlake and his ramen hair the most. proof that the 90s were the darkest timeline.

I always thought JC was the cutest one when I was a kid.

[vespertinev]

In the beginning, I feel like Lance and Joey were the visuals. Jc was the leader, main dancer and main/lead singer. Justin was lead singer, dancer and center/face of the band. Chris was vocalist.

Is there only one barber in South Korea? I hate that fucking haircut so much!

[hellicoptajuuce]

that haircut is never going away, its like a standard and its versatile.

there was a time when perms were the thing in kpop, now THAT was a very dark time

[836am]

Versatile how? I feel like it's only ever styled that one particular way, maybe two if you count the split fringe.

[normanikordei]

sometimes they gel it back

spamming OP's post

[imnotasquirrel]

also, is suga the louis of bts?

Re: spamming OP's post

[anthknee]

Probably not since Suga has talent and produces and writes for the group.

Re: spamming OP's post

[imnotasquirrel]

he's still ugly and he can't sing. and i'm pretty sure that lewis wrote for the 1d group a lot too, at least that's what that 1 louis stan always said here.

Re: spamming OP's post

[simprov]

its true! louis has the most writing credits i believe lol
