WIIILLLSON IM SORRY!

I agree with Hoya. He become it boy together with eunji(i know she's female) n SIG(he's soloist). And Infinite H debut got great response also half thanks to his popularity.

Myungsoo is always known for his great visual.

 

It boy usually is for idol who became actor and got great feedback.

Sis, i know you're new to the fandom,  missed 99% of their career and have no idea about a lot of things.. But come on,  this is straight delusion tbh 5cF9Biq.png  And that's not what "it boy" means. May be for the ones who started getting lead roles and cfs left and right.. 

 

But to answer Op's question, no he's a top visual, but not an itboy..

He's been one of the Top visuals for YEARS (Top 3 area) and still gets mentioned, but not IT boy status. That's mostly reserved for actors OR idol turned actors who got lucky being in a hit drama. He's very low key so far in his roles since he knows there's things to improve on.

 

This recent Saeguk drama he's filming is perhaps the MOST risky move he has done.

I know about it. I also read news about "it" boy.and the news mentioned them like that, not only one or two news(that was translated in engs) and he also got indiv cf. After that, he said he got acting offer, but they are bz with their group schedules. Im new to fandom but that doesnt mean i wont search about them from the beginning. Everyone who new to a fandom, they will search everything about their bias group, am i wrong?since i know them last year,ofc i wont close my eyes and focus on their new song only.

 

I read comment from @boadicea below(i cant multiple my post because of mobile). And i totally agree with him/her.

Actually non of Infinite members ever became an it boy. Not even L. Not even Hoya. Not even Sunggyu or Woohyun or other members. Sure they're popular and became trend for a while but not on it boy status yet. I'm big fan of Reply 1997 since it was aired and it was long time before I know Infinite so I kinda know who was became popular and who wasn't. Eunji is definitely hit big with her popularity that's why she can get more drama role after that. Seo In Guk who was also in drama, get to act on Master's Sun next year. If you think it was because group's schedule that Hoya can't get acting role, then why L got Master's Sun, Cunning Single Lady, etc? Why Sungyeol got web drama, HSLO? Or another example, Kim Min Seok (Woollim's actor) only got small role before, but after DOTS, he can go to variety show, another drama, etc. If you look how Woollim promote their artist, the more popular you are, the more schedule you get. With this logic alone, it means that Hoya should have more drama or at least individual schedule comparing to other members if he was an it boy once.

Reply 1997 was popular, but never reach Reply 1988, DOTS, or Goblin popularity that makes all members got popular instantly. If you watched other Reply series, mostly only the main cast that hit big but the rest just increased their popularity.

I didn't say this because I'm Myungsoo biased. Well it has nothing to do with this tbh. Even if I'm not L fans or not Inspirit, I'll still say the same thing.

I agree none of the members are It boys or whatever but Hoya has been getting acting roles and even has an award for his movie. Also, woollim promoting members according to popularity? Not entirely right since Woohyun is one of the most popular members and gets the short end of the stick when it comes to schedules plus when Sungjong created a buzz and had a lot of articles and offers last year after Knowing Brothers (and god knows what else) Woollim didn't allow him to follow up on any of those even though he was practically begging to get out of their basement. It's more like they give schedules/promote members according to their own agendas.

I talked about back then right after Reply 1997. Like I said, I was R97 fan so I kinda know if their cast got new drama right after R97 or at least the next year. He got another drama in 2014 while Reply 1997 was out on 2012. Still he didn't get lead role on that drama. He got award because his movie and it was long after R97 so the said that he is it boy back then when R97 hit big wasn't true.

I thought Woohyun got a lot schedule back then. Like in 2014 alone he has Toheart and HSLO (as main character) which other member can't get. As for Sungjong's case, idk what happened behind the scene so I wouldn't say anything.

It's not that they pushed which member they want the most but which member got the most offer. The more popular you are, the more offer you get. That's why it seems that Woollim promotes the popular member more.

Idk why it's hard to understand. With only look at Infinite, Lovelyz, or even Kim Min Seok, we can tell that Woollim promote the most popular member more than less popular (I didn't say member that has more fans but member that is more well known)
