I wonder whether Twice can score Top

10 hit with the upcoming comeback as girl groups are killing it right now. Scientist is a flop but Nayeon’s solo is a big hit. The teaser from TikTok doesn’t sound promising tbh. New Jeans and Blackpink won’t go anywhere and will stay on top. SNSD can go Top 3 within next few weeks as Forever 1 blow up due to the promo and they have fanmeeting soon. IVE’s After Like sounds like another smash and I don’t think Love Dive won’t go out of Top 10 easily. WSG are stables too.

 

Can Twice succeed this time?

I think it depends on the song and the promo for it. Scientist just wasn’t it. It was neither strong enough to be a title track, nor it had any of the punch that the previous Twice cute sound had. Especially coming after Alcohol Free which was such a fresh and balanced sound without being a departure from the usual twice flavor.

Nayeon also was performing similar to Scientist at first and then she started the promo, koreans started being exposed to it and it smashed.

it's so stupid to me how wonyoung and yujin use their full names

literally why

Yeah and they use only the first name in some other places :rip: it’s affecting their brand reputation rankings (not that it matters that much outside stans) while they’re usually #1 and #2 on naver currently.

I'm happy SM has stopped with the forced repack thing they started around 2016-2017 because... there were so many albums which did not need a repack. :priceless: Like that Key full album and Taeyeon Purpose. :rip: Even successful comebacks like Taemin Move was undermined by a pointless repack. I know repacks of the f(mother) trilogy and The Red would have slayed though. :gaycat2:

As for SNSD I don't think a repackage is going to happen and if it does it could turn out in a flop release, that's because SM titles are hit or miss + we have to acknowledge that the 15th anniversary thingy it's playing a big part in the comeback's success. However I would love more content ofc, but promo will be a struggle with all their schedules + Taeyeon also needs to make space for another comeback this year I think.

 

Anyway, I'd love some solo releases from Yuri, Tae and Hyo. Specially Hyo because Dessert was a moment that Deep could not live up to, and she deserves it.

Yuri and another member (very like HYO) started preparations on a unit album that got shelved because of COVID, she said it in a fan sign or something in 2020. They already said that Forever 1 (or a release of an album) was supposed to be for their 14th anniversary, so I could see the success prompting more frequent comebacks, especially since Tiffany seems to have left the American market so it's not as hard to get them together.

 

They should really model their career after modern APINK. An album every year or two or three with consistent sub units and solos.

If we don’t get a re-pack album, then we still probably will get that rumored 4th quarter TTS or Oh-GG comeback. Either way I’m satisfied! We got our Hit Single and a successful full album and promo. Still crossing my fingers we get a world tour summer or fall 2023, once they all have less solo activities

Yes, one comeback every two years would be great tbh, I want Yuri solo album as she had a successful drama so she deserves some budget for he solo tbh.

Will Twice outpeak SNSD this comeback? :redface:

I don't see why SM would do TTS when two of the members aren't under the company. Seems like a lot of wasted money, but who knows the deals behind the scenes.

 

I'm sorta sure Tiffany would re-sign with SM if she had the chance though. :ducky:

Yeah TTS is most likely dead.

I could see SHY happening, Sooyoung already said she's down for it and would be easier to work with only one of the members from outside the company. Plus it was sorta happening with the Yuri+Hyo unit that got shelved.

SHY would be so iconic :WAP:

SYY would be even more iconic tho :jonnycat:

What SM really needs to do is give GOT The Beat a single album/mini album release. 

 

With the combined selling power of aespa and Red Velvet, SM made a mistake by not doing a physical release. 

 

Plus, since sones only seem to care about Taeyeon these days, they will actually show up to purchase, unlike Yuri and HYO's solos where they were deserted and left to flop.

Not a YG Stan talking about vocals :bibliahh:

SNSD still being the most talented, interesting, and trailblazing gg in 2022. 15 years in and still the best group to stan. :cm:

GOT The Beat is kinda dead, tbh, I am sure BoA and Taeyeon hate the idea, the concept, the music, etc. Ofc SM can force them to do that again but I don't think it will happen, they will probably just release a new unit.

The gag is i'm not even a YG stan:deadbanana2:

I was just praising Treasure ( a group who can actually sing) so yes I can speak about vocals. You weirdos need to understand saying someone is below average vocally is not a personal attack that needs to be taken so seriously (especially when its common knowledge) 

Not that I expected the one user who very clearly lives vicariously through idols to understand :deadbanana2:

You realize that this is a racial slur comparing Asians to people with Down’s Syndrome, right? Delete this.
