I'm on the same boat, to be honest. I've seen through the years what a large fandom expansion can do to a group's schedules and its fandom size. So I'm perfectly fine with my biases if they have lower to middling international popularity and don't get mentioned often here on Reddit, for example. I can find ways to read and rave about them on Twitter (non-toxic parts) and other areas.

The one thing I always hope for is that I hope my faves at least have enough local popularity in Korea that will make them known enough. That's where the long term stability will lie, especially when they plan to branch out into non-idol activities as their contracts wane down.
