Not Genie’s ugly sister :biblio: so overrated omg. Mr. Taxi, Bad Girl, Paparazzi, Catch Me If You Can, Divine >>> and I’m talking only about the singles, of course.

"Catch Me If You Can" is an official Korean release which has Japanese version though, so it doesn't count really as an original Japanese release. However the Japanese version does stomp on the Korean version, and it's actually my favorite SNSD song :clap3:The pre-chorus flows so much better in Japanese.

Speaking of Twice. Why were RV/ITZY able to bounce back from their MULTIPLE flop eras but Twice couldn’t? Pop was a smash and yet it did nothing for them :deadbanana: TTT was a cute single and all. Why aren’t they clicking anymore with the gp? What needs to change

They will probably have a hit again in Korea, once they get a song that clicks with the Korean GP. Nayeon getting a hit means that TWICE still has a chance and are far from over.

Fanbase can't make a song a hit :rip: 

 

It's clear that the GP does not connect with their songs anymore

 

And it's also clear that pop perfections like TT, Cheer Up, Likey, What Is Love >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Less & Less, I Can't Flop Me, Scienshit, No.1 Free & Tank That Tank

Your take is horrible cause TWICE said are arts over charts :michael:  Everyone know that TWICE's music has been way better ever since "Fancy", which is why they are still getting bigger globally and haven't even peaked yet. Koreans just have very terrible taste :doc:

 

Like there is no way you can tell me that a song like "Signal" is better than "I Can't Stop Me" :rip:

They have 9 #1s and are legends in Korea so No1curr about the digital decline. They’re now selling out stadiums across continents and selling millions. Most girlies cannot even say that for themselves.

also that one troll jumping in at the chance, he must have the word “Twice” on alert

The “9” is so cute to me for obvs reasons. 
 

I’ve been skimming their discography randomly/out of order and I finished Formula/B12/EWO/AF, feel special. I want to try M&M. But it kinda sucks that their “decline” was after they kinda matured or whatever. It still seems more of an exaggeration from trolls. 

 

do we know who is going to solo next?

Not Twice being legends in Korea :ahh: Onces are so delusional. 
 

 

Haters denying Twice’s dominance, iconography and reach in Korea are so funny

Screaming if this is Everglow’s Mia about to debut solo so soon, it would be super messy after they made it seem an OT6 comeback was happening next  :deadbanana4:

Which one of the 4th generation ggs with dubious vocal talents (I don't need that clip of Yunjin singing opera so keep it cute) do y'all think will BOMB first digitally & why?

 

IVE / LESSERAFIM / NEWJEANS?

 

My guesses:

IVE - overexposure / the TWICE curse of bad encore / Wonyoung scandal

LESSERAFIM - the korian GP realizes there is not 1, but 2 JAPANESE members in a group of 5 and fixates on that

NEWJEANS - another shiny new thing comes (BAEMON) and takes their place

 

Honestly, out of all these groups NEWJEANS kinda screams FAD to me.

 

I love them though, their music is amazing. As long as the artistic vision and music is top notch I think they may last, but right now the girls themselves are pretty uninteresting and lack personality and star power (except maybe Hyein the 12 year old of the group, weirdly)

Are Twice considered a big GG in Japan(not even in terms ok Kpop)?They’ve had a few hits there the last year but idk much about the music scene there :rip:

That's not Mia from EVERGLOW :bibliahh:

 

And honestly she doesn't even need a solo ever since she usually snatches 99% of the lines in EVERGLOW SONGS :deadbanana2:

Jihyo is the most natural choice of course. She’s been in that damn company for 17 years (!) and is one of the most all-rounded female idols ever. 
The Japanese member subunit Mimosa is also coming as per that name registration.

And yeah they declined digitally because they simply stopped being gp darlings after the more mature image change with Feel Special and the cutesy audience/uncles left as a result. I mean it’s not as confusing as people like to act lol. But they did maintain their fanbase and are gaining more album sales with each comeback and are expanding their touring power. So their priorities have naturally shifted now and it’s really not that bad or serious as a rookie group failing to score #1s or top 10s. They’ve been there done that, and did it in a grand way that most kpop acts can only dream of. Now they’re onto other things, so let’s let the girlies live.

it's nikkei survey, it's more about public recognition than fandom power

and perfume's been number one since forever

Kpop died when WJSN abandoned this sound

 

 

 

 

 

 

Everyone of these songs could be openings to their own fantasy dramas / webcomics. If Starship had Hybe money they would have done it.

NJ is basically the modern version of what Twice used to be, at least HYBE will promote them individuality  so they can last however once NJ start releasing more mature music it’s over :hoetenks:
