The Other Positions Within Idol Groups

Recommended Posts

Most people know that Idol groups have certain designated positions. These include Leader, Visual, Vocal, Dancer, and Rapper. With the rise of personality focused programs it would seem that there are additional idol member positions appearing across multiple groups that are contributing to a group's popularity. 

 

For Example:

 

Eater/Shikshin, this member is known for their big appetite and interest in food. Fans love to watch these members eat and talk about food.

SNSD: Sooyoung (main), Yoona (lead)

Red Velvet: Wendy (main), Yeri (lead)

Twice: Momo (main), Jungyeon (lead)

 

Pervert/Byuntae, this member has an interest in other members butts/private areas and may also like to touch their members in somewhat inappropriate ways. Perverts create pairings with whoever they're next to.

SNSD: Taeyeon/Sunny (main), Yuri (lead)

Red Velvet: Irene

Twice: Momo

 

Evil Maknae, while the maknae is the youngest member of a group, an evil maknae eschews typical maknae obedience and instead revels in teasing older members. Evil Maknaes may come from the younger end of the group and do not have to be the actual youngest.

SNSD: Yoona

Red Velvet: Joy

Twice: Tzuyu

SuJu: Kyuhyun.

 

Visual Artist, this member has an interest in the visual arts such as drawing, painting, and clothing/jewelry fabrication. The rise of social media accounts has contributed to the exposure of the Visual Artist member position to fans.

SNSD: Taeyeon

Red Velvet: Seulgi

Twice: Chaeyoung

Rainbow: Jaekyoung

Girl's Day: Yura

 

I just listed examples for groups I'm familiar with. Feel free to point out these positions held in other groups or other positions you've noticed that appear across multiple groups (boy and girl groups).

Actor-dol? The one who always gets known more for being an actor than an idol.

 

Solo artist: Already has a career as a solo, could probably leave the group and still be successful.

 

Co-leader? So many other prominent positions amongst idol groups tbh.

actor-dol: BTOB Sungjae

Solo artist: 4minute Hyuna

Co-leader: idk...
