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..

"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"

 

:coffee2:

 

 

 

 

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.

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. 

 

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:

No, I went back and read the thread before posting and it was @Wake Up who just gave KARA credit for their Japan success as an all-Korean group. Then others also gave credit to SNSD too. Nothing wrong with that, because it is factual. 

 

Interestingly, the same members who always accuse "SM sheep" of being "oversensitive" were the ones flipping out for pages and pages over the KARA/SNSD comments.

Funny that anti-korean propaganda post-Dokdo island dispute was what ended SJJD reign in Japanny.

I don’t give a **** about who’s bigger where, I’m not even a part of that conversation. BUT the way this thread has some individuals who always try to downplay Twice’s achievements, and always have to compare them to their SM gg counterparts and just CANT praise/congratulate them and move on….it really is some kinda bitterness isnt it?

Always when you complain about something is "SM stans" this or that. :rip:

Everyone here is gets into that kind of discussions regardless of the groups they like.

This was about Twice. And for some reason, their biggest critics and butthurt comments about them always come from SM stans (apart from that one YG stan). That’s just the truth. I’m not targeting y’all, I’m just commenting on what I’ve observed in this thread. If you don’t think you fall in that category, then you shouldn’t be offended. :heart:

Fearless is such a grower

i liked it at first listen (and you can even quote me from release day - my beef was/is with the video!), but it’s such a sneaky ear worm 

 

I keep going “whatchulookinat, whatchuwhachulookinat” to myself :jonny6:

Some observations: 

 

A. This discussion started from a reply mentioning KARA which is not an SM group

 

B. I agree with you that "this was about Twice" and yet, I saw in the last few pages users bringing up f(x) and even RV out of the blue, when they have nothing to do with this particular conversation, the only purpose was to drag them and bait their stans. 

 

C. If you want to talk about "butthurt" and critical comments, let's talk about how aespa is treated in this thread, those girls can't even breathe in here without someone claiming they're wasting oxygen. But of course that doesn't fit the narrative that "SM stans" as you call it, are obsessed and jealous of everyone else. 

 

That's all.

Twice are certain to lose at least one member. Their peak has passed, & JYP isn't giving them much in the way of individual activities.

I wouldn't be surprised if its a full collapse like SNSD where we see Jeongyeon, Mina and like 2 others go :celestial5:

Mmm maybe. The one I'm curious the most is Jeongyeon.

I don't follow them much, but Mina seems to be doing better than she was in 2019. Maybe she will stay.

Jeongyeon & Tzuyu are the most likely to leave imo. Mina is in a much better place now so :michael:
