About this term

Face (of the group) is the member most tied to a group's public image and brand recognition.

It often overlaps with visual, but emphasizes who the public remembers first — not just looks.

Face vs visual — same role?

Related but not identical. Visual is a position label; face stresses overall group representation.

Can a group have more than one face?

Fans may debate it, but agencies usually push one primary representative in promos.
