i’m so glad lara talked about how ‘eyekons’ compare members to each other like it’s so ridiculous all of them are so talented and comparing them is so unnecessary. i also completely agree with what she says about having a bias, like you can have a bias but at the end of the day, you should love all members equally and the so called ‘eyekons’ who don’t and pit them against each other aren’t eyekons

They’re the only group whose interviews don’t make me cringe. I’m 40, but I still find myself learning from them.

This interviewer was awesome, he seemed like he actually knows who they are and was really sweet. I love these girls so much and it’s insane what they’ve all been through together. They are so kind and well spoken and their humor always makes my day better, wish them the best
