OP captioned:
"Look at the ranking differences. All four of them released solo music but only one went to the upper ranks. Fans are also only streaming one solo. It's been a while since I've seen a group with huge popularity gaps between members."
MYs discussed Karina's chart performance and reacted to the thread's overall comparison. Read their comments here:
- "What do you want us to do about it when they push Karina the most?"
- "Karina is the most popular among the public, so there are more people who would check out any song in which her name is mentioned."
- "Karina's solo definitely stands out between all four of them even if we don't consider her popularity."
- "I don't care. I enjoy all the songs and my favorite is Dopamine."
