Example: 吹奏楽経験者しか分からない (Band members onlyunderstand)

What is the grammar rule for "Compound Noun Suffixes: 「〜者」(sha) and 「〜候補」(kōho)"?

Similarly, 候補 (kōho) means "candidate." In this meme context, 優勝候補 literally means "championship candidate," implying a phrase so painful it deserves the top spot in a competition of suffering. Example: 吹奏楽経験者と優勝候補 (Concert BandExperienced Person and Championship Candidate)
