♚ One In A Million! ❅ The Official OneHallyu TWICE Thread ♚
FunkyAmerican replied to moondust's topic in Groups
URGENT ALERT ALL NEW YORK CITY AREA ONCES!!!! A bookstore at 35 west 32nd street Manhattan called "Koryo Bookstore" has every single Twice album!!! I just picked up my Twicetagram album right off the shelf after going on a whim! And as a Shu Shu, guess who happened to be waiting for me inside the album cover but none other than........................... Mina!..............................*just kidding*......................SANA!!!! I am sorry for the dramatic open. I just wanted to spare my fellow NYC onces from the added costs and waiting of trying to get albums from SK. Oh, and as for the concert, I have to give Dubu props, she really killed it with Dahyunism. The "Oppa" stage was one of my favorites as well. Seeing all those candy bongs really made my day, the girls have to be so beyond happy. And while not the classiest sentiment, I am glad they're making that money.- 463,492 replies

T h a n k Y o u... This is what B-sides are for. I mean, if JYP already has them writing lyrics I'm sure it's not because he doesn't want the girls to have input into their music. As they grow older, more and more they will have solo projects, special stages, sub units, etc to display their diversity. Kpop is good like that. If people want a total 180 from color pop they can always break off a sub unit for sexy, one for girl crush one for rap etc and still have OT9 churning out the bubble gum pop many of us love. I do want to see them explore and control their creative destiny. The great thing is that does not have to come at the expense of throwing away what got them to this point.- 463,492 replies

Just my 2 cents: I'm pretty sure EXO is never asked to change their concept, BTS is never asked to change their concept, or any boy group for that matter. As an American, Anglo artists almost never switch up their "thing" completely and the very few times they do it doesn't usually go well. Beyonce is Beyonce. Taylor Swift is Taylor Swift. Do you think Jay Z is going to do Opera? Why is it we finally have a successful girl group and now they need to change? Koreans (Asia as a whole for that matter) have already crossed the sexy barrier in music and yet look at the sales to see where that has gone. I'm not here to put anyone on blast, I value and respect those who want change. Most of all I want what the women want. If they want X I'll will support X no matter what. My point is that we already have dark, sexy, mature, tough women in Kpop and some have done well others haven't. No group can be all things to all people. What I will say is that JYP could find some more diversity in styling/music. Sometimes I think what people are clamoring for is not a move away from color pop but just better diversity of music.- 463,492 replies

Sana does powerful dances so well. She was absolutely breathtaking during the Valenti cover. JYPE should give her a choreography solo similar to the one Momo got in Likey. Sana is absolutely the second best dance if not right alongside Momo- 463,492 replies

Wake Me Up is definitely an earworm The Wa Wa Wake Me Up is going to be playing in my head for a while. Side Note: Anyone notice how hilariously old the computer Chaeyoung is using? That's like 1998/1999 vintage mac. LAMO. Even the graphics when she's making the video look like 90s apple. I guess this is Twice going retro. :P- 463,492 replies

I won't lie, when I first heard the 30 second teaser I was left feeling "eh". But it just goes to show how much you can't go by that. WIL IS A HIT! And the music video really brings me back to the TT/CU era good vibes. I love the creativity of the MV.- 463,492 replies

LOL @ people freaking out over the pineapple. Sana looks radiant as usual. All the girls have the cuteness cranked up to 11 this time. My head is spinning over them going from Chile to Toronto to Korea in all of 48 hours. I can't keep up. I love to travel but if I did that gauntlet I think when I came home I'd lock myself in my studio for a week and just not come out.- 463,492 replies

I figured most people knew Twice really blew up with CU, not Sixteen. Plus, didn't people throw shade at the fact JYP added two members? I don't think many new ONCEs even followed Sixteen.- 463,492 replies

I think after the whirlwind of the last 20 or so months (ever since CU) I'd think right now they're golden as far as existential goals are concerned. Usually those thoughts don't come upon you until you're not busy. Plus, for the J-line at least, having their first proper Japanese concert tour has to be huge.- 463,492 replies

Maybe it's just me, but does anyone notice they eat out a lot? Every time they're eating it's some kind of Korean fast food except for some of the TTVs. No offense, but that can't be too healthy after a while even despite burning it off vis-a-vis preformances. I don't take too much stock in pictures because weight can bounce up and down with Kpop idols due to cardio. When they're in comeback mode, they're probably burning calories like it's going out of style. When promotions end, they probably become glued to the couch (Can't blame them) when they're recovering. The biggest thing is what they're eating. If they're not eating veggies/fruits or have a proper nutritionist monitoring their intake and adjusting for their calorie needs they can begin to experience some serious effects. I don't know to what extent the big agencies educate/monitor their idols physical health. I would think an agency like JYP would have an on-staff dietitican to help coach their artists on what their bodies need especally with how much physical activity they do.- 463,492 replies

I agree. Likey was awesome and Heartshaker was the bomb. If HS was released as a true SK comeback it would have demolished everything in it's path. Likely probably would have reached CU levels. This was a case of unfortunate timing for Likey and not knowing what they had in HS. I'm one of the few who like OMT, by the way. I'm not sold on Candy Pop just yet (Sana's wig has got to go. Don't do my bias like that) but I can submit it's a cute song.- 463,492 replies

I think we as ONCEs all have to use discretion as to what we will read or not read. I would love for the MT to be a "Safe Space" but at some point you do have to ask the question where does appreciation begin to trump honesty. Yes, I know that the rest of OH and the wider Kpop-related internet is a black hole of Thriceness but we've all admitted when we didn't like an outfit at an awards show or questioned why they did or did not appear on such and such variety or had critiques over line distribution. I actually enjoy reading some of the more well thought out critical posts because in a way they show just how much depth of care and passion ONCE has for TWICE. If you're best friend took up smoking you wouldn't say something? True love is wanting what's best for the object of your affection, and in that sense if something isn't right for TWICE we should say something. I will say this though, any posters who are constantly nitpicking should go somewhere else. My post applies to regular members not those who always have some "Critique" to say.- 463,492 replies

I think the case here is "Change" versus "Evolve". I don't want Twice to "Change" since I like them for who they are. As a westerner, if I want a rock act, hip-hop act, sexy/sultry act, Rnb act, etc I have loads and loads to choose from. Frankly, even within Asia there is already a plethora of artists doing all different kinds of music. It's not the 2000s anymore where Koreans have to look to western artists to get their fill of rock/rap/rnb/ska/classical/whatever. Asian music markets have developed a much more diverse and well rounded portfolio of talent and genre than the last decade. So when it comes to Twice, they're not going to be breaking any new ground by all of the sudden becoming rappers or picking up guitars, even in Asia. I think for all idol groups going forward, there's going to need to be a balance between coming out with something "Fresh" each CB versus fundamentally changing who the band is. Not even western artists "Change". Can you see Beyonce doing ballads?- 463,492 replies

IMHO I think there should be a "Vlive Starter Kit" for new Onces showcasing their top 10 Vlives. The Vlives are the best things to showcase who the girls really are as people and their relationship to each other. Things like MoChang TV, No Jam Bros, The Sana Dates, Mina's solo Vs, etc get to the heart of who the girls really are as people. Varieties are fun and all but we all know they're scripted to a point. TEPL was somewhat more real but even that had your typical Korean forced activity feel to it.- 463,492 replies
