really interested in hearing ur thoughts on the keeho/yechan sibling rivalry and their current career trajectories. i’m not an 82tude so i don’t have much insight on their side of it all
hi, yeah I’d be happy to!
I’m not sure if I can call it a proper rivalry since they fit different roles in their groups (so there isn’t a direct one-to-one comparison of who is “better”), but I do think there's an interesting dynamic between the Yoon brothers going on.
I think Keeho taking a step back during last album’s design/production/promos vs. Yechan being so hands-on in all of the content 82Major puts out is a big tell. Yechan gets a lot more direct influence over the final product 82Major puts out (not just the music, but the social media posts, photography, etc. which we all have evidence that he has engaged in) while the other members and the company as a whole to have more control over what’s put out there for P1Harmony vs. it being mostly Keeho
To be clear, I understand why Keeho took a step back. He was so deeply involved in every aspect of what P1Harmony put out for ages, from the music itself to album designs, styling, etc. and that is just… so much for one person to do. I love what he has created so far, but had to have been exhausting on his end and I really hope he’s using this time to rest.
The question I have is: does Keeho feel pride seeing Yechan? Jealousy? Does he regret his decision, or was it one he still stands by? I feel like the answer here would show a lot about potential career trajectories for both groups
As for how etume fans view their dynamic and their career trajectories, in my opinion it's a mix of pride but also a sore subject. I know many fans who stan both groups. However, Yechan gets compared to Keeho constantly. It happens so often that for a long time 82Major was viewed as “Keeho’s brother’s group” and Yechan was just “Keeho’s brother” as opposed to his own separate identity as an artist. Yechan gets brought piwon merch to sign at events and concerts, 82Major lives and TikToks are filled with references to P1Harmony, and so on. If it's annoying to fans (especially Yechan biased ones), I can only imagine how hard that comparison must be for Yechan
