Also not have powerful stage presence like Yunjin, Chaewon or Kazuha. If Eunchae gain a little confident she can even surpass her. Also she dont have unique visuals and even dont fit to kpop standarts. Dont get me wrong tho she is super pretty girl. I just want to know how she was the 2nd most popular member on izone. She wasn't #2 she was #1 all along. But yeah she is so talentless that is painful to watch lmao.

This question keeps coming up in this thread so I'll give an answer as someone who's followed her Kpop career very closely The obvious thing that makes her different from any other active kpop idol is her ~11 year tenure as an idol in Japan and Korea (if we ignore Rocket Punch Juri) She's had a lot of time to rack up a loyal fandom while in AKB, many of whom left jpop/AKB culture in her transition to kpop, who'll continue to follow her in whatever she does. Her growth from her Produce 48 audition to what we see from her today in LSFRM is pretty remarkable, which is another reason she has so many fans. I'm not a Sakura stan but some believe she's always been a great "performer", just check the comments under this old Produce 48 video. Her fandom have also attached themselves to her persona which is being a shy gamer known for being very thoughtful and intelligent with her words. I'd say while her core fandom is one of the strongest in kpop, she's always been one of the less popular members in her group in terms of Korean GP recognition (see brand rankings).

Sakura « fandom » lol, the INCELS fans of AKB48 who used to collect her bikini photoshoots despite her being only 16! I remember when I saw her pics, I was literally shocked and asked myself how it was even legal bc it’s straight *****graphy. No wonder she was so determined to leave the Japanese industry for Kpop, she made the right decision bc Iz one/ Source Music trained her well. Even if she still can’t sing lol, at least she’s a good dancer now. But her nose job was unnecessary and she looks better with bangs Edited October 11, 2022 by Adama

I think a lot of those types of uncle/incel fans stayed as she got older and left the industry, she gets a lot of hate from the AKB fandom now because they think she's a traitor for leaving for Kpop. I agree her nose looked fine before but hopefully it just needs some more time to settle in Edited October 11, 2022 by Butters

She needs her bangs back, and I hate bangs on idols but it’s like Lisa, it’s suit her better

She was the most popular member, produce48 pds rigged wonyoung as #1 because they're xenophobic Sakura came from AKB48, which is a wildly popular infinite member jpop group that is more known for their fanservice rather than talent (and AKB48 is also the namesake of Produce48, MNETs korean/japan hybrid girl group making show). If you watched PD48, everyone from AKB48 was given a pretty compelling storyline (the AKB girls were seen as less talented, but some tried really hard over the course of the show and ended up meeting the Kpop standards for being in a debut lineup) In 2018, Sakura had really amazing visuals, stage presence (see her as Nekkoya center), + captivating Jpop to Kpop underdog story, which made people like her. If you're getting into kpop post produce48, you won't understand why she's that famous considering izone's company pushed wonyoung throughout the entirety of izone's career (because they're xenophobic)

Mel. Posted October 11, 2022 Posted October 11, 2022 But they could have at least pre-recorded some music show performances
