Placing TWICE on the scale with BLACKPINK is currently considered a media trick by JYP.

Recently,  TWICE  returned to the music industry with their 13th mini album YOU-th . In addition to information about the new project that is constantly updated by the Korean press, TWICE is also covered thanks to its concert ticket sales record in South America. The JYP girl group is becoming a mixed topic of discussion when Sports Seoul – a reputable news site in Korea commented that “TWICE will replace BLACKPINK”.

Korean newspaper caused controversy because it said TWICE would replace BLACKPINK

Specifically, Sports Seoul reported on the new achievements of 9 girls with the title “TWICE 10th year sweeps stadium with 50,000 seats! Filling the void left by BLACKPINK” . Not only that, the article also listed many numbers and caused intense controversy when stating “…The music world predicts that TWICE’s power will spread throughout Asia and globally, including the US, replace BLACKPINK’s vacant position”.

The constant mentioning of YG’s music group with the intention of comparing their “better or worse” achievements caused fans of the two families to continue their war of words.

TWICE is far behind BLACKPINK in terms of reputation

In recent years, TWICE has been  far behind BLACKPINK  in terms of reputation. After the success with the super hit DDU-DU DDU-DU, BLACKPINK is gaining momentum to go international with “unprecedented” records. Especially after the Born Pink world tour attracted more than 2.1 million spectators, the world media called BLACKPINK “the world’s largest girl group”. BLACKPINK’s success has gone beyond Korean borders.

Meanwhile, TWICE slid down the music charts. Continuously making comebacks but no longer resonating with the public, the achievement of “advancing America” ​​only stops at a moderate level, making it difficult to escape the fan circle. Although the fandom is strong, TWICE’s achievements are considered flat and not among the top genes. Typically, the latest project, both the English single I Got You and the EP YOU-th are “invisible” on domestic and global music charts.

Many people believe that this is a media trick by JYP after TWICE went on a series of successful stadium tours

Netizens reacted harshly to the statement “TWICE’s musical power will replace BLACKPINK” . Many people believe that this is a media trick by JYP after TWICE went on a series of successful stadium tours, including a Mexico tour that sold more tickets than BLACKPINK’s show at the same location.

But overall, TWICE is no longer a competitor of global girl groups. Even when separating the individual achievements of one BLACKPINK member, it is enough to “show off” the whole group.

Jennie’s personal achievements alone have “far surpassed” TWICE on the charts

Recently, even though BLACKPINK is in turmoil after leaving YG and has not yet made a group comeback, Jennie still set a series of new music records. It also moved quickly on the Billboard Hot 100 with the soundtrack song (not promoted) – One Of The Girls. The above article and JYP were criticized by Kpop fans for “recklessly attracting attention”, causing TWICE to be implicated.
