[ SLANG ][ FANDOM ][ NOUN ]
A fan who openly and honestly supports only one member of a group rather than the group as a whole, without pretending otherwise β distinguished from 'Akgae' by being upfront about the narrowed focus instead of undermining other members while claiming full group loyalty.
REAL-WORLD EXAMPLE
"I'm openly a solo stan at this point, I love the group fine but I'm only really here for her."
LORE & ORIGIN
Named directly by fandom to distinguish this honest, openly-declared single-member focus from the deceptive version of the same underlying preference.
