some idols can sometimes be a little cringe, but that is nothing compared to being a "pick me"
a lot of idols, particularly 4th gen, have been getting hate recently for "acting cringe". some idols actually do act a little cringe sometimes, but it is very rare and people make mistakes so it's not really a big deal. but if an idol acts cringe in your opinion, it doesn't mean that they are a "pick me". they might just have a genuinely happy personality, which is actually pretty impressive considering these idols don't go through a nice time.
