Congrats on getting more ULs at the peak of UL season. And good luck on getting a single #1 or a single project with 1B+ digital points  

Congrats on the empty house #1s then? Idk what to tell you, you were the one who brought it up!

With the direction ITZY is going, my confidence with JYPIG is all time low. NMIXX is another case, however I'll reserve my judgement for now. JYPIG has lost the magic I fear.

I mean that cover they posted kinda worries me that it’s gonna be another Scientist but I’d like to think JYP won’t ruin twice since they’re their biggest cash cows

Sneakers is awful, but they just had a jump from their fourth mini GUESS WHO doing 365,353 in almost 15 months to their fifth mini doing 700,000 in three days. Their popularity in SEA is still exploding thanks to their dance talent.

SM needs to do something to get aespa some SEA support. IVE and ITZY kinda have the best of both worlds with streaming and solid album sales by being popular in those countries, while aespa wins in overall physical sales due to more popularity in China so far.

 

Guess we'll see if aespa's JPN material will get them any new fans. I'm thinking their JPN releases will be "normal" music in terms of not following their lore, unless they find a way to incorporate it. (They better not be cheap and release a Next Level JPN ver, we need new original music).

Still one of the best debuts ever! The way they came out swinging.

A Feel Special/EWO direction is definitely where they need to go, and it’s clear that people want that from them instead of a Scientist. If JYPIG doesn’t realize that then I’d love to burn that company down.

Dance is literally always trending globally and with the COVID world people want something upbeat and dance oriented. 
 

Literally just give the girls a Hot/Love Foolish 2.0 and a decent vidya budget. Especially if they’re only having 1 Korean CB now annually they can use their typical budget for their usual comebacks and make one extremely solid production. 
 

Jeongyeon composed and wrote a song with someone from SKZ for the upcoming Twice album but it got rejected, kii

I agree with Hot/Love Foolish. The way it’s a mature/sexier sound but still has that bright bubbly Twice energy. And I’m sure Nayeonce brought in enough budget already, just use that

of course my girl is always underappreciated in this damn company. They even stopped her acting offer

 

 

Twice's success is amazing, given they havent had a good TT since FS. If they were to slay with quality again, I'd be a happy ONCE.

It says ''only 2 wanted it'' so I think the members were the ones that rejected it ddd

Tbh I hope that Nayeon picked up the scraps and that TWICE gets way better songs written by Jihyo/Momo

i bought Nayeon’s album and she’s probably my favorite third gen girlie overall. Just doing a little dragging of the ladies who were coming after Taeng the other day.

So we’re never getting another Feel Special/EWO are we? I guess if it’s more of the upbeat/bright style of Alcohol Free I wouldn’t mind but I would think that their darker or slightly less bright concepts usually happened around the fall

This is the “darkest” thing Twice will ever produce and even then they fumbled the bag w the long tease period

ICSM was kinda the last time JYP gave one of his GGs a great sing... The Feels was cute tho.

 

I feel like TWICE and NMIXX could smash with the right title tracks, they just have to release something that does not sound like a cute b-side (Scientist) or a ******* disaster (O.O)

 

 

I want an iu comeback too actually 

 

Imagine if she joined the lineup rn

SM will never care about mediaplay or records like digitals and streams. They’re always going to be hyper-focused on physicals and even Gee and If couldn’t change their focus. They’re going to probably increase their targets on penetrating the American and Chinese markets, especially after BlackPink end up clearing 2 or 3 million with their next full album.

 

And I think we’ll definitely get a “Best Album” first from Aespa with a Next Level MV and either Savage or Girls. I prefer original music but we probably won’t get an original single until that Best album is out of the way.

I'm shocked that HyunA is only at 2.2m views on YouTube. Are the views frozen? She was always huge on YT
