obviously, its only part one so we wont know the plan for everything until they release the full list but considering we don't even have a release date for part two yet, i understand why ppl would be bothered that he only has one song out of 17, and a song that was alr released 4 yrs ago at that,

but i feel like a lot of the frustration isn't necessarily coming from the fact his only confirmed song so far is a live ver of an previously released solo but more so the fact that a lot of stuff that happens concerning minho is a matter of waiting for more info or waiting for proper releases that often ends in basically no resolution or proper result (like lack of screentime in movie or on stage when he isn't even visible on screen during his own parts, cut scenes involving him in mvs, less detailed styling, etc)

(but this isn't to say that they're only doing stuff like this with minho or that he's being singled out, lots of scenes get cut and things get rearranged, its normal, but it just happens to minho more often and that's why ppl keep bringing it up because they notice)

now this isn't the members fault or minho's but its hard not to notice the pattern of uncertainty abt content involving him or abt him. this isn't to say that he's being outright excluded from content, he has his own show on the channel and good opportunities for interviews and such but it isn't such an outlandish reach to point out that a lot of the time it feels like they don't know what to do with him.

its similar to how they are with changbin. they aren't outwardly leaving them out or "neglecting" them in a big malicious plot against them but they don't really know what they want with them so they are either underutilized or shoehorned in awkwardly. its like the reoccurring issue with styling minho and changbin that gets brought up every comeback.

other members will have more intricate or detailed outfits and hair while changbin and minho are given caps and big jackets/kind of silhouetteless looks that don't really fit the theme of the comeback and natural hair. and this could very well be a personal preference, fans would have no way of knowing, but they do stand out when they are noticably less styled than the others and have less opportunites for a change in style or a wider colour palette. (though it doesn't always happen, i feel the styling for run it was very well done on them)
