They're all imbued with a strong sense of integrity, especially Peniel and Changsub. Peniel is just the purest being, watching his vlogs on youtube, you can tell how pure he is. Eunkwang, Sungjae and Minhyuk also have a strong sense of responsibility which I admire. They're a group that stands out for how every member cares and has love for every other members and their group. We don't see a lot of their serious sides but when we do, we can see how much thoughts they have behind that joking facade.
Yes, their talents and dorky side is what makes people like them, but honestly, as someone who has followed kpop groups for much too long, the talent part or funny doesn't feel as important or special to me now as the trust in how solid group is in its potential for longevity. I've suffered too many heartbreaks and disappointment. Just like with men, I no longer care about his looks and specs, just about his character and ability to be loyal, respectful and kind. It works the same way with fandom and idols for me.

I personally think their good character is that much more special, for all 7 members. Aside from Vixx and B1A4, they're the most "wholly" made of good people group. And ironically, they're also known as the craziest funniest stupidest of the new generation of idols with zero care for their image. I'm not their fan, but I genuinely like them, also because Super Junior takes especially care of them ever since their debut. I take an interest in all of Super Junior's protegees (ze:a, ukiss, seventeen, etc.) and among them, Btob has caught my attention for being the one with the strongest sense of group loyalty, individual personal responsibility, kindness and zero pretensions. Had my heart not been taken irrevocably by another group years before, I would have been caught by them for sure. I fall for the funny unpretentiously dorky groups like Shinhwa and Suju with a strong loyalty for each other.

And as a fan of a group who has lost multiple members, and weathered through scandals after scandals, and disappointment after disappointment, I envy the younger Melody fandom for being able to love a group that I know will almost never disappoint them or make them regret becoming a fan. I can never leave Suju because I love them too much, even after they broke my heart and disappointed me, but I've got to admit that their younger Btob hoobaes are much wiser and mature than them about the important things. It might have to do with the fact that Btob stayed underdogs for many years. I will always love Suju more, because their wittiness is unmatched. But they still have ways to go to mature.

The reason I fell for Suju in the first place was because I had trust that they could treasure what they had, after overcoming their status as the no-good leftover group. When you don't get things easily, you appreciate them more. Suju didn't have it easy, and Btob had it more difficult and for longer. Groups like Girl's Day too are like...

wow, what a reply. Thanks for replying to me with this passionate comment. Are you sure you're not their fan? You sound a lot like one, don't resist! There's not rule that says you can only love one group. lol.

You mentioned every reasons why I love them. I can relate to the part about vicariously being carefree.

Like you said, my "catnips" to loving a group is a combination of:
- extremely talented but down-to-earth
- passionate about their music and job
- making me laugh (how can you not love someone who makes you laugh?)
- loyalty and camaraderie
- wittiness and savagery against each other
- dorks and comfortable with themselves
- ability to let go

Most of all, what makes this group so special is how positive they are, whether on stage, during rehearsal, in waiting rooms, or just in their daily lives. I just bask in their positivity and use them as a bright spot in my life.

Hi~~ And thank you ???
