Kun is the best-suited leader. He truly deserves to be a leader. Ten is the senior member among them in terms of experience as he debuted first, but he's more suited for the face of the group or the center of the group which he's. While Kun is a very responsible person they can rely on, that's why he's the leader. Even though Ten is now becoming more mature and responsible, Kun still remains the best fit for the leader's position.

Although it is true that Kun seems to be the most mature and responsible of the group I don't think TEN was necessarily not mature enough back then. There are people who seem so playful and free like a child but are actually also very wise, broad-minded and have strong character which are very important for leaders and I think this is actually the case for Ten. Most free-spirited but wise people actually don't also seek out direct leadership positions but they actually are very influential thus could actually make good leaders if the situation arises. Kind of like the alpha vs sigma type. Taeyong and Kun are typical leaders/alphas. Usually they are very good with organizational skills and are comfortable with having authority. Ten actually feels more like a sigma type - prefers freedom but can lead the pack when he is needed.

@@arien_000 I know it very well, don't take my comment the wrong way. Ten is my bias in NCT, and I know how he was and how he is now. It's not about whether he's a potential leader or not; I don't doubt his capabilities! it's all about kun as a reliable person. I didn't said that Ten was immature back then; I meant that he was playful and free-spirited, which he still is. However, now he's becoming more reserved & showing more maturity, and that could be for any reason, they're not kids or teenagers anymore! He's being ready to take on responsibilities, and being in a position where other members can rely on him too, like how they look up to him. Ten is very wise and intellectual, and if he had to prove his leadership, he would do it without any doubt. How he shows in dance practice room. However, Kun is truly deserving of the leader position, which suits him well. That's all I meant here. Obviously, I didn't want to write the whole reason for why I'm saying this & that, but now I did it since people are interpreting my comments differently.

True, Ten is very smart and it's very attractive. He's good at dancing, singing, and even rapping. Younger members really look up to him. And how can we forget about Mark? He's really a proud brother to have Ten. I agree Ten was playful and kind of childish back then, as he himself said he's the least mature member in wayv, but that's how he is, which is admirable about him. He doesn't care what people say about him; he just likes to enjoy his life. He's also Very responsible though whether he accept it or not because as a fan we can see that. Kun, on the other hand, feels responsible for his members / younger brothers so that they can rely on him and he can take care of them. You know what? He really likes and enjoys being a leader, and I'm so glad that they respect him as a leader. As a member or brother, they tease him a lot, but as a leader, they are really thankful for him. Kun is a really, really deserving leader. Ten, as the center and face of the group, is doing his duties too. He always shows his best performance and represents his group with his talent and capabilities. Obviously, other members are responsible too, but if people say Ten is not the only reason for WayV's popularity, I doubt whether they know them well or not. Ten might not be solely responsible for WayV's popularity, but he's one of the biggest reasons WayV is getting recognition. The reasons are very simple too. If someone still has doubts and wants to know how, I have a full explanation. Feel free to debate with me 😂

@@k-popproudstan I know you're not underestimating Ten, of course. I'm just also expressing what I see on both of them. It's just that I noticed that most people usually think that playfulness and being a free spirit makes a person less leader material and by convention that may be valid to some degree, but from a person like me who is inclined to Buddhist, Daoist and Vedic philosophies, I beg to disagree. I don't want to go deeper cuz it will take a long discussion but basically, a lot of the most amazing human beings, what sets them apart is that they never lose their playfulness and freedom cuz they aren't as entangled to things as regular folks. This gives them more clarity and wisdom and flexibility on how to deal with people and situations. I noticed hints of these on Ten. He has a very clever way of dealing with different types of people and situations. It's not just cuz he's charming or funny, there really is wisdom in how he does things. If you notice for example Winwin wasn't as confident before but one of the things that helped him open up more was Ten's constant playfully doting on him while also giving him space and acknowledging his potentials. Kun was also a bit too serious before but Ten's constant teasing him actually helped him loosen up a bit and eased his pressure to lead the group. As their main dancer and center, Ten also influenced his team by setting a standard, sharing his skills and inspiring his members and not just by imposing that level of excellence on them. -- Little things like these are actually subtle ways of influencing people around you and creating a certain atmosphere in a team without having to directly lead them. In Daoism, this is what great leaders do. They don't lead by organizing and telling people what to do. They lead by creating an atmosphere that allows people to blossom and express their better side. In ancient times, sages would sometimes say the whole creation is Leela (play/game) so to be divine or to have mastery means doing your best while still having that playfulness/naturalness instead of going around treating your challenges like some burden and wearing a long face. Only the body ages. The spirit never does.

Aside from the fact kun has the personality of the most leaderst leader to have ever leadered on a purely practical basis WayV is the chinese unit and Ten was still learning very rudimentary mandarin when the group debuted so there was no way he could have been leader ! (But also despite Ten being Ten and also the most senior member of the team, if you ever watch variety WayV content it will become very clear very fast why even OG Ten fans like me always expected Kun to be leader of the group while Ten most suited to be 'center' of the group!)

10:14 btw that's not what they're saying. 😂 What they're actually saying is "I made that dream". The song might have sensual dance moves, music, and vibe, but the meaning is actually the opposite.😂 It's about facing challenges with courage, protecting dreams, and pursuing aspirations with resilience and determination.

They're saying "get it poppin'" but "get it papi" wouldn't have surprised me either lmao! "Action Figure" is truly a banger, like the song and choreo combined are absolutely insane. You weren't far off with the interpretation tbh I think "Action figure" in this case refers to how attractive male stars of action films were called action figures. I think WayV are simply saying they're the musical equivalent, they're hot and fit, and stars that drive people crazy like an "action figure". The english translation of the lyrics show that its a lot more dramatic and poetically said, but thats the gist lmao This is my favorite sound from WayV honestly! It's sexy and fun, but has just enough uniqueness to be clearly NCT.

It's easy to misinterpret the song based on the sensual performance but it is actually about the resilience and courage needed to keep on pursuing your dreams and aspirations despite the challenges, hence the metaphor of "action figure". As for the line by Yangyang it is actually "I made that dream". The official description of the song says: "With a brass instrumental setting the tone, “Action Figure” conveys the message of an action figure protagonist who leaves behind hopes and dreams for others and persists on protecting them, despite feeling melancholy due to the frigid reality of a lack of freedom."

Thank you for reacting. I didn't realize you guys tought the leaders were choosen by being 'the best' in the group lol the chaos that would be if all the groups had leaders based on talent or popularity. Not saying they would be bad leaders just think they have other priorities. I think he leaders really wear a huge responsibility & burden to the point where they sacrifice themeselves to put the group & memebers first. Basically for many groups the leader is the oldest member since Korea is really big in respecting/following your olders. At least it was that way until recent years now it's not always the oldest but it's definitely given to the most mauture, well-trained, experienced memeber.

This was the video that truly sold WayV the most to me. It perfectly showcased both their sophisticated and their wild side. The song and the performance have parts that felt delicate and pretty but then also have parts that felt raw and badass. Like the hip thrusting part felt too overt but the style and the delivery of the other parts were so tasteful and refined. I can't imagine any other boy group having this level of STEEZE. It's just perfect!!🤌❤️🔥

Thanks for your reaction! The blond with half suit is YangYang! I think you don't understand the meaning of being a leader in a Kpop group, it has nothing to do with being the best singer, or the best dancer or the best rapper. Being a leader in Kpop is completely different from being a leader in a Western pop group! Being a leader in kpop is not about being at the front of the stage or being the center of a poster! The leader of a K-pop band leads his members. He protects his members, listens to them, tries to find compromises when there are disagreements and motivates his members. The role of a K-pop group leader is to serve as the spokesperson for the group, coordinate group activities, and act as a bridge between the members and the management and the Company. The leader is often responsible for maintaining group harmony, mediating conflicts, and representing the group in public appearances. Additionally, they may take on additional responsibilities such as making decisions on behalf of the group and providing support and guidance to the other members. Some leaders act like the representative, some act like the mother/father/older brother/older sister of the group. Some handle the group during the times they are left to their own devices (ie in the dorm, or during practices). Sometimes they are the scapegoat when things go wrong. They usually have the most pressure on them to work hard, keep improving, and do no wrong. If you think this video is sexy, imagine WayV- live - Nectar:kzfaq.info/get/bejne/fbSopaWJqrqxYIE.html Please react to WayV 'Phantom' MV: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/lZd-qLN309vadZc.html

😂😂😂😂 Hate to disappoint you, but it doesn't mean what you think it means. The line that had you in a tizzy, is actually; "I made that dream, I made that dream (oh)" When you mentioned Toy Story, you were a bit closer to home. 😊 WayV tends to have the more introspective and flowery lyrics of the units, but then they'll hit you upside the head with something like Love Talk (English ver). 🤷‍♀😄 When it comes to NCT title tracks as a whole, or even just SM in general, they very much adhere to the philosophy that "it's not always about what you say, but about how it sounds". So with title tracks, there's usually a message (or sometimes more of a theme), it's just that the lyrics can get REAL abstract when conveying it and will often come across as non-sensical, especially when you throw translations into the mix. What SM is most concerned with at the end of the day though, is that it's catchy as hell. Bside lyrics are generally much better about lyrics... and Action Figure is a bside if you didn't know. Here is the full English translation; Loneliness, doubt, noise Honey, honey, honey, lit the fire (Swipe, swipe, swipe) Reality sets up barriers Upgraded my courage to unlock my dreams The invisible lines cross through my body Under the hand of fate, no freedom to act independently Under the shadows, my eyes start to escape Under the mask, I’m hidden by loneliness Looking up to comic book heroes All my anticipation that wants to soar The destruction people are afraid of Is love that will no longer be selfish I'm an action figure You know I'm an action figure Jumpin' on stages, outrageous Protecting your adventures and your passion I'm an action figure No, it can't stop me, I'm tougher Make your dreams higher, show your desire Win the whole world like the winner So drippy, so drippy, so drippy See you nodding and you know it's so drippy It's so drippy, so drippy, so drippy Get it poppin', so drippy, so drippy Even if time fades my paint I will protect your dream world, I’ve never left When you own more beloved toys I will still remember the name you gave me Hurt becomes more painful when reaching the truth My battlefield is on a path that no one walks on Step by step, established a perfect performance Living in the bottom of your heart and never lose Looking up to comic book heroes All my anticipation that wants to soar The destruction people are afraid of Is love that will no longer be selfish I'm an action figure You know I'm an action figure Jumpin' on stages, outrageous Protecting your adventures and your passion I'm an action figure No, it can't stop me, I'm tougher Make your dreams higher, show your desire Win the whole world likе the winner So drippy, so drippy, so drippy See you nodding and you know it's so drippy It's so drippy, so drippy, so drippy Get it poppin', so drippy, so drippy When nightfall comes (when nightfall comes) I am your designer (Designer in the starry night) Making dazzling memories (Feeling good, feeling great, yeah) Making all your dreams come true, waiting for you to wake up Stubbornness are my natural wings, cutting through this horizon Going against the wind (Woo, ah) Woo, ah (Woo, ah) To be free, making the ice-cold path let go of fear Never leaving your side like body and shadow, oh, yeah I'll be on your side as your only one I'm an action figure, action, action I made that dream, I made that dream I'm an action figure You know I'm an action figure Jumpin' on stages, outrageous Protecting your adventures and your passion I'm an action figure No, it can't stop me, I'm tougher Make your dreams higher, show your desire Win the whole world like the winner So drippy, so drippy, so drippy See you nodding and you know it's so drippy It's so drippy, so drippy, so drippy Get it poppin', so drippy, so drippy

Thank you for checking out my 2nd most favorite WayV MV's song after Regular! The sound is so rich you can even hear an elephant sound in it LOL. Kun is their best shot of being a leader really 🤭 and that's right, Ten usually avoids being picked as a leader. He's the oldest in 90's Love unit and therefore everyone choose him to be their leader but he refused hard and made Winwin became one instead. (Ref: [Un Cut] Take #11|‘90’s Love’ Dance Practice)

Even if they ask Ten to be the leader, I doubt he wants it. Even in 90's love unit he refuses to be the leader (although he was the eldest and most senior -senior together with Mark ofc), he keeps asking Winwin to be the leader. He keeps on saying Winwin is his senior. (which is not actually true) They didn't even need a leader for NCT U units actually 🤣

the fact that Kun is the leader and not Ten its cuz many things like: Kun has that sense of leadership, duty, careness and he really know how to do thins (telling you that hes even licensed into piloting planes) while Ten is more like a free spirit, hes into his things and back in the day he was not that serious. So Kun as the hyung was chosed. But he really make a great team with Taeyong and Mark and now Sion as the leaders of the subunits. Taeyong can rely on them in everything
