Would you Want Katseye to Become Individually Famous in the West

I’ve been thinking about this a lot lately and wanted to hear what other Eyekons think.

Would you like it if the Katseye members became more individually famous in the West, or would you prefer the members remain nameless to the public even as they gain international popularity? I’m not talking about them separating or disbanding but about their individual names becoming well-known as a result of Katseye’s success as a group.

For example, imagine seeing them at major celebrity events or mingling with prominent Western stars, ex: going to listening parties or just celebrity parties or after-parties in general. The girls are mostly extroverted so this kind of exposure could really put their names out there as individuals. My personal rule of thumb for when an artist has truly “made it” in the mainstream is when paparazzi start following them, and their names pop up in gossip subs or tabloids (as silly as that sounds, it’s a sign of cultural impact, lol).

To make my point clearer, let’s compare:

Groups like BTS and BLACKPINK have made a massive impact globally, but the public in the West doesn’t really care about their individual members as much. Even BLACKPINK, to some extent, who participates in more events as individuals, doesn’t have members who are followed by paparazzi or discussed in gossip mags.

On the other hand, groups like One Direction and Fifth Harmony had members who were well-known individually. They attended events on their own, built friendships with other celebrities, were followed by paparazzi, and made headlines in gossip mags regularly.

I feel like there are clear advantages to the latter. For members who want to pursue acting or modeling as a side gig of their music career, for example, being individually well-known could help them build valuable industry connections with producers, directors, and other influential people.

What do you think? Would you like Katseye to follow the path of groups like One Direction and Fifth Harmony in terms of individual fame, or do you prefer they keep their focus on the group as a whole, like BTS ? I’d love to hear your thoughts!
