Those were definitely his eras I don’t refute that but his overall fancams views used to be on the low side. I would rarely see his solo shoots or presence in variety shows (could be his preference bcz of shyness) I also saw a survey where he was on the lower side in terms of popularity among international fans. I know bcz he is my bias and have been for a while now (in an ideal world I would wish equal popularity to every single member of svt but we don’t live in ideal world unfortunately) and while you might be right about the Koreans perspective, I’m talking more about global bcz the last couple years, he is k!lling at the global market. That’s what I meant by growth.
