(G)I-DLE Soyeon Reveals How Group's Line Distribution Works
On February 28, Marie Claire Korea released its full interview with 13 Gen Z leaders as a special segment for its magazine's March 2022 issue. Among them, (G)I-DLE Soyeon conveyed her values and beliefs in terms of leadership.
In the interview, Soyeon revealed the core values of how she handled the strong responsibility of being the idol group's leader. Born in 1998, the female idol debuted in 2018 as (G)I-DLE under Cube Entertainment.
Since then, she showed incredible skills and knack for songwriting, composing, arranging and producing songs for the group, eventually becoming the leader.

Despite the popularity of the hereinafter five-member group, there are prejudices when it comes to members' line distribution, wherein some members get more lines in the song than the others.
In response, Soyeon, as the producer of the group's songs, explained the "truth" behind their line distribution.
"To this end, I try to get to know each member's characteristics even in the smallest details and try to delicately direct using these as a basis. Due to the nature of idol groups, we cannot be free from part distribution, but if you are proud (of your work), we made it so that at least we don't have any 'unnecessary' members out of five in all songs."
The idol also implied that despite some members having few parts, she always makes sure it will leave an impact.
"Just because there are few parts, I don't want to make it impactless. I pay huge attention when it comes to that part. I always make it clear that a specific member plays a certain part in each song, to let them know that they are necessary. It is the most important thing for me to ensure the value of each member's existence."

"I rarely cry, but I cried when I heard this from the members. 'Soyeon, if anything happens, tell us in advance. Then we'll just be on your side. If someone asks if you did (something negative), we will say it's all our opinions, not your own thoughts. So don't burden yourself too much. Let's say we're on the same page."
