Let's talk about Japan dominance when they have an album that sold over 500k in Japan

Twice has none and KARA's got 2. Twice was quickly forgotten when NiziU debut

The Feels was a smash in Japan. Just sold 150k tickets + had 700k+ applications. They are anything but forgotten. You stan F(x) does their company even remember them? :celestial5:

I mean, SNSD and KARA are legends for being so successful in Japan without having a Japanese member

Right. I don't know why some TWICE stans are so obsessed with comparing their Japan success to SNSD and KARA. They're not sat at the same table.

 

SNSD and KARA kickstarted a new Hallyu wave (after years of anti-Korean propaganda in Japan) and had to go through challenges and prejudiced comments during their promotions. Their achievements should be applauded separately for being ground breaking and opening up new opportunities for Korean media in Japan. 

 

TWICE benefited from that, plus a THIRD of the group is literally Japanese. That opens doors in a way that was not available to full Korean groups like SNSD or KARA. Putting them all on the same table is disrespectful. 

 

Some people need to just sit down and eat their food. And pick up a history book while they're at it.

This is a global discussion. So fans of artists who never even made a dent in Japan should sit this one out. :sistrens:

The TXT mini kinda suxxx. I like TXT more than Enhypen but HYBE is giving the best music to Enhypen. I am sorry to say it but it’s the truth :monkey:

"To be honest, I feel lit it would be impressive if the 9 of them had the same opinion. There are surely people who want to go into acting, others who want to go solo and others who just want to live in their hometown too"

 

"They've been denied of so many individual projects so I bet that there are members who wouldn't want to renew. They are nearing their end and did a few solo photoshoots and CFs but I feel like it's too late now... First of all, I think that we can all predict more or less the members who won't renew"

Hsnsnsjd im debating on buying tickets to the got7 concert but it kind of seems pointless to purchase to watch an online concert :rip: but then again being to see the boys as a group after this wait would almost be worth it..

Twice contract renewal is so intriguing   :cupid:

 

Do you know how it was announced that some SNDS’s member didn’t renew and left SM? Does the Knetz and fans knew before that some members wouldn’t renew?

Ktrl always hold twice to such high standards and even when they STOMP y’all try downplaying their success

it reads as jealousy and anger at this point

This situation was a bit messy, because SM suddenly released a statement saying SNSD's promotion for Holiday Night was cut short to just 1 week (and this was their first comeback in 2 years :skull:). 

 

That rang the alarm to everyone that something was wrong. Then people realized it might be related to contract renewals. Then a few days later, SM released another statement saying some members renewed, but others were "still negotiating". And then finally it was confirmed who was leaving. So people were kind of expecting some members to leave SM by that point.

 

I don't know how JYP handles their renewal process, but most companies will start the talks weeks or months ahead of time. So if idols are still negotiating or there's no news on certain members right up to the expiry date, that often means there's a problem/someone leaving.

Oh mess! Thanks for the information! So it was not just one storm, but it was statements after statements. Might have been so stressing for the fans  
 

For Twice, I guess some serious Inside information might leak this summer, then.

Literally the person who brought Kara up was dragging Twice in the first place? I swear you guys always take the bait :rip:

 

There’s no denying Kara and SNSD passed the torch and made so much groundwork for other groups in Japan but that doesn’t negate how big Twice is in Japan. They are also helping other groups in Japan so everything is relative :celestial2:
