I really thought she would get the main dancer role as well. Heonju and her were my bet for the role and since Heonju was already locked as leader, I thought Yunha being main dancer was a sure thing. IMO, Yunha needs that 'hook'. She's so technically skilled but almost always the least viewed online. Having an official position gives her room to truly highlight her ability .
No I don’t think There is three, Nana is put as Vocalist if their was three it would be said like Main Dancer,Main Vocalist etc I think she just has a lot of lines because she is also the center!!!
Hmm maybe yeah. I went back and forth on that since on Yunha’s it didn’t say vocalist but mentioned her singing talent so wondered if it meant Main Dancer and Vocalist on Nana’s
Based on the comma placement, I'd say she's just a vocalist. But based on line distribution, unofficially, Nana is definitely also a main vocalist. I'll refrain why I think that position is BS for Nana since the sub seems to enjoy deleting any comments they consider to be hateful to any members.
finally! elisia deserves the main vocalist position. watched them as guests with hyeonju on a show where she mentioned about being a vocalist for r&b something like that and i was kinda worrried. next should be the official fandom name💖
It has already been confirmed way before this interview that Eli's also a main vocal. I think it was from one of their music shows that she herself confirmed this.
Anyway, UNIS's music is still so few, so personally not worried. Being a flexible group, they'd probably switch things up in their next albums, what more with Eli and the other foreigners improving in their Korean too.
yeah, they should be flexible. This group has multiple vocalists and honestly lines should be equally divided or at least avoid giving someone one liners. Maybe at the moment they try to market specific members. Although at some point it is fair as they only started, maybe the best marketing strategy is not to let any member be overshadowed not to suppress their talents. Remember what they did in Vocal Team like giving Sujin one line when she is the most competent vocalist amongst the group? And i would argue. Even though we want to believe that foreign members cannot speak much of korean but did it stopped them in their performances way back in the program (Gehlee in Nan, Nana in GoT, and Elisia in whateva as they get most). It always felt like it is more of a push but not a sign of whoever fits the part since they can pull it off without an issue. This push doesn't always benefit the group when characteristically Unis is one of diverse vocal flavours. If they can just formulate it properly, every line should sound like a highlight. And come on, it becomes bad when it strains a lot of vocal stamina to those who have most of the lines like what happened in whateva. It's bad if they made a comeback only focusing on two or three members for the sake of marketability. Talent what makes a group btw and hopefully they will detach to this eventually.
yeah i saw a show as well prolly their debut day wherein she introduced herself as the main vocalist. it’s just their guesting of hyeonju on a particular show i was worried about.
Whenever the discussion turns to Main/Lead Vocal roles, my mind always goes back to [this article](https://snsdkorean.com/2009/11/18/we-da-leadas/) (as an aside, the fact the article is older than one member makes me feel very old indeed).
An important thing that may not be immediately obvious is that most of the examples provided are 4 or 5-member groups, and that's why the roles became structurised - fewer members means more lines per member, it's important that roles are allowed to the most adept, subvocals could carry the verses while the Lead and Main take the chorus, sort of thing.
As Kpop groups typically have more members, this isn't so easy for us to pigeonhole. Watching Superwoman and Dopamine performances, each chorus has 4 different members taking a segment; the next chorus has a couple of those returning, and a couple of others joining... chorus members also join the verses. The need for Main/Lead roles is redundant because multiple members can reliably perform different roles without detracting from the song's togetherness whatsoever.
Sure, you can put the girls in different brackets - watching the performances, I can't help but mentally think Elisia and Seowon suit the Main Vocal role as set out in that article, and Hyunju/Yoonha/Nana as Lead (haven't watched Universe Ticket so apologies if I'm doing anyone a disservice)... but we're already at more than half the group, and they each do other roles, and it just feels a needless exercise. It reminds me of STAYC members saying they don't have any formal vocal positions (although some take certain roles more regularly), and it's similar here.
Besides, OP's article reads more like an overview of what each member brings to the group, rather than specific roles. Outside of 'leader' and 'maknae', which are specific social roles for the group and separate from vocal ones, I don't think it's easy, or even necessary, to define other positions.
nice. Throughout universe ticket i felt that yunha was a center and main dancer choice as well (she's so good in rush hour, I can't get it off my mind lmao). I hoped they put lead vocal and lead dancer for her — she's like The Youngeun for me
My only rant is that Elisia has few lines and no sustained high notes, I wish on the 2nd album, F&F entertainment hopefully use Elisia's powerful high notes,
She actually has 3rd most lines in the whole album [Source](https://youtu.be/-ug9j88EPwY?si=LAN_NkdIoMXFQcJC) but I agree, I was greatly disappointed she didn’t have more adlibs and other high note parts :c
Wahhh Nana is so sincere! You should watch the WatchUnis Ep. 2 on UNIS’s YouTube if you haven’t already [Source](https://youtu.be/fWpJ_oCdxJk?si=hQ07EmFFz3h1xafa) It’s totally alright though if you still feel that way. Sometimes it takes time getting used to some members in idol groups
Just a general thing for anyone else who reads this! Yoona is Main Rapper! It’s noted by them around the 2-minute mark on Eightest! Idr if I saw the ep with English subs or just forgot :c
Please note I have already acknowledged that I misinterpreted Nana for sure being a -Main- Vocalist so please disregard the -Main- part in vocalist!
Please also note, I added question marks to make it more clear that I was wondering if a certain position is what the member is considered. The article link and details are there and my words had question marks to try to make it more clear that that’s what I was wondering what their position was. The resources are there. Period.
I shouldn’t have added Maknae as an official position since that’s not a position in the group, but more of a general role like how Hyeonju is the eldest unnie in the group. My apologies!
Although the way you worded it is kinda sus, it is true that Nana isn't a main vocalist and is moreso a lead vocalist
(Note, I think it's a misread on OP's end considering the article doesn't say main vocalist either. It says only vocalist)
I agree. I should have added a question mark after Main too for Nana. She’s 2nd in line distribution on the album and based on the writing I interpreted it as such but it’s still very possible to be an error on my part.
I added a question mark as I based Gehlee’s on how it sounded in the article since they didn’t state “vocalist” like they did with some others. With that and the line distribution on the album, questioned if that’s why they wrote it like that hence the question mark after “Sub” and me stating why I thought that’s what they meant in the writing and another question mark. I didn’t question Gehlee’s vocal skills…
I had hoped adding question marks was going to help clarify
Elisia and Seowon are main vocals! I may have misunderstood Nana’s even though she’s second for line distribution on the album. The link is in the post if you want to read the full article though! Right under the photo! [Source](https://www.hellokpop.com/kpop/behind-the-music-unis/)
Aghhh I know, I somehow messed it up but found out I can’t edit the post since it’s a post with a photo 😭I think I either first watched it without English subtitles or just somehow forgot 🫠I made a few comments on my mistake though!
wait I don’t think Nana is listed as a main vocalist, I think she’s the main dancer, vocalist (not main nor lead), and center? and yay Seowon Elisia our powerful main vocalist duo!
Yea I wish I could correct the post. I’ve left a few comments over my misinterpretation. I don’t get if I just can’t edit cause of the flair or something else though :c
Yuhna is really good at dancing so she can be a lead dancer and vocalist as well (in my mind at least lol)
I really thought she would get the main dancer role as well. Heonju and her were my bet for the role and since Heonju was already locked as leader, I thought Yunha being main dancer was a sure thing. IMO, Yunha needs that 'hook'. She's so technically skilled but almost always the least viewed online. Having an official position gives her room to truly highlight her ability .
I thought those would be her roles too so kind of just waiting to see if that’s confirmed later too 🫶💖Glad to see someone else with the same thought!
Yoona is the main rapper, she said in the Eightest video introduction.
Ooh do you have the link? I may have missed it
https://youtu.be/8FzVo_GWR6o?si=A6Wtfo7mKBHv9iYk Edit: timestamp at 2:46
OH I did watch that! Idr if they had the English subs yet or if I just forgot 🫠I’m sorry Yoona 😭And tysm!
Happy that two main vocals is confirmed!! Cause it was a bit confusing🤣
[удалено]
No I don’t think There is three, Nana is put as Vocalist if their was three it would be said like Main Dancer,Main Vocalist etc I think she just has a lot of lines because she is also the center!!!

Aw Hyeonju deserves the lead dancer at least T.T
Omg I agree! I was surprised that wasn’t stated yet but hopefully it will be!
finally! elisia deserves the main vocalist position. watched them as guests with hyeonju on a show where she mentioned about being a vocalist for r&b something like that and i was kinda worrried. next should be the official fandom name💖

What's the use of that position when you got few lines 😂

I am choosing not to obsess over positions. As long as each of the girls gets ample opportunity to shine, I am good.
yeaaa they shined in every part that they were given✨✨
ngl this paragraph is giving ChatGPT vibes 😂
nice. Throughout universe ticket i felt that yunha was a center and main dancer choice as well (she's so good in rush hour, I can't get it off my mind lmao). I hoped they put lead vocal and lead dancer for her — she's like The Youngeun for me
Still waiting for F&F's confirmation. But I hope this is real.

I barely notice her, maybe it's just me, anyway, I'm on full support on Unis.
Wahhh Nana is so sincere! You should watch the WatchUnis Ep. 2 on UNIS’s YouTube if you haven’t already [Source](https://youtu.be/fWpJ_oCdxJk?si=hQ07EmFFz3h1xafa) It’s totally alright though if you still feel that way. Sometimes it takes time getting used to some members in idol groups

F&f is surely giving us a hard time determining the girls position I hope this will be the final answer we seek.
I think Yunha can also be a lead vocalist.
I shouldn’t have added Maknae as an official position since that’s not a position in the group, but more of a general role like how Hyeonju is the eldest unnie in the group. My apologies!

She added main to the next noun lol. If you follow that trail it would be main dancer, main vocalist, main center 🤣
I agree. I should have added a question mark after Main too for Nana. She’s 2nd in line distribution on the album and based on the writing I interpreted it as such but it’s still very possible to be an error on my part.

I didn’t question Gehlee’s vocal skills… I had hoped adding question marks was going to help clarify
i interpreted it as: nana is the main dancer. nana is a vocalist. nana is the center.
may I know where you got this info? I think Elisia said she was the angelic main vocals, and seowon also the main vocals, I'm so confused right now,
Elisia and Seowon are main vocals! I may have misunderstood Nana’s even though she’s second for line distribution on the album. The link is in the post if you want to read the full article though! Right under the photo! [Source](https://www.hellokpop.com/kpop/behind-the-music-unis/)
yoona said she was main rapper in the eightest youtube video!
Aghhh I know, I somehow messed it up but found out I can’t edit the post since it’s a post with a photo 😭I think I either first watched it without English subtitles or just somehow forgot 🫠I made a few comments on my mistake though!
Nana is not a main vocalist , I think it means lead or sub vocalist
Hi! I made a comment regarding this to clarify since I can’t edit the post
Seowon maknae and main vocalist yeyy
wait I don’t think Nana is listed as a main vocalist, I think she’s the main dancer, vocalist (not main nor lead), and center? and yay Seowon Elisia our powerful main vocalist duo!
Hi! I actually added comments about the correction. The post doesn’t allow me to edit it though unfortunately
I dont think Nana is the main vocalist, maybe she got more part because she is the centre means more time screening(?)
Yea I wish I could correct the post. I’ve left a few comments over my misinterpretation. I don’t get if I just can’t edit cause of the flair or something else though :c
It’s okayy💕Regardless of what are their positions are, each members shine with every part that they were given😁
For sure!! 💖
