I think you worded that better than I possibly ever could. Thank you for that.

this isn't about starting drama. This is obviously an issue for some people here. Where are Onces supposed to go when they feel discouraged when even our MT is filled with negativity. you can mask your opinions with spoilers all you want but that's not gonna stop people from reading it and possibly feeling bad. Why can't people think before posting. We can chose to ignore it but why can't people just chose not to post their negative opinions about Twice in our own MT. The place that Onces should expect to have support for their love of Twice.

i always thought that this thread was a safe space for Once. Free from all the criticisms that we read about all over the place. It's honestly so sad thinking that even some of Twice's own fans have a hard time accepting them.

Totally. There are so many girl groups out there that would love to have a song that did as well as Signal. Heck, there are so many idols and female trainees that would've loved to have made their debut in JYP and have a song produced by J.Y Park. I totally understand that some fan don't find Signal to be their cup of tea but I'm so grateful that TWICE are getting these opportunities and even when they do experiment with their formulas they still get plenty of love by the public that it doesn't discourage them from trying out new things. It's totally fair for us as fans to want the best for our girls and to want the best quality of music production but we should also remember to be thankful that TWICE is in the position they are right now because they are doing amazing and they never forget to thank their fans for supporting them.

Signal was loved by the public and it's still considered a hit song. it currently has the most music show wins(12) this year. It wasn't as popular as TT or Cheer Up but those songs were national hits. we can't expect each song to have that level of popularity where everyone is doing the dance and signing the chorus. I appreciate Signal because it broke out the formula and patterns that previous songs had and it had a much better line distribution. I feel like there's a lot of people here that are ok with JYP to produce their next song as long as it's better than Signal. I actually hope that if JYP produces the next song i hope it's as good as Signal. I hope that if they release a full album this time. I'll buy every version of that full album and go broke!

I love TWICE. The female empowering, multi-national girl group from Korea

such a bright beam of sunshine on a rainy day

I believe her saying that they haven't prepared anything yet because Signal promos ended not long ago...but TT (japanese version) and it's also the plate of the spoiler fairy's car. we know Nayeon...we know

i read that too! she wanted to make a cameo for her sister's drama but the schedule didn't work out. TWICE obviously has a lot of potential actors but the way their career's are going and knowing how JYPE learns from their 'mistakes' I doubt any of their other activities would ever take priority over their role as a TWICE member. What I mean with JYPE is that miss A's Suzy went into acting while miss A was getting more popular. Also Suzy's image as the face of the group kind of isolated her from the rest of her members. I'm not worried about that with TWICE because they genuinely all love each other too much to put their own personal goals in front of the group's (even though they would get the full support). and JYPE are very careful with what they do with TWICE so they're not being as bold as they were with their brother and sister groups. All idols eventually follow different paths later on in their career. It's pretty soon for TWICE to be thinking about their individual brand over their brand as TWICE. but when they do start thinking about it they're probably still going to stay together as TWICE. Look at 2PM for example. They're all flourishing in their business as individual stars but they're all still close friends with each other and they all value their fans til this day. They still have huge concerts too despite them being a 10 year old group. I think TWICE is going to have a similar future. We Onces still have to keep constantly showing Twice love because they're still a very young group with even more potential milestones to accomplish!

Somi should be teaching a class on survival reality girl group shows.

I think she said PD-nim in a whiny voice and it's also common for actresses and actors to show appreciation to costars and staff members. Momo hugged Junho after they filmed their VCR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K4WYGg7DdrQ

Do any of you know if the sales from their Japanese album would count towards the sales points for award shows like MAMA (artist of the year, girl group of the year) or Golden Disk?

Even though TWICE's 'First 24 Hour' Youtube record might get broken today I would like to encourage you guys to keep your heads up and stay proud and gracious as a fandom. TWICE still has the first and currently only MV to have 200+ million views on youtube plus a lot more achievements. Let's keep making TWICE proud and anticipate their success in Japan.

TWICE proves that they don't need a huge budget MV to look beautiful. They can pull off simple and beautiful aesthetics that highlight their individual charms. I also love pink haired Nayeon in the j version of TT. I'm going to miss her pink hair.

I just finished watching the latest TTV episode. I'm so thankful that we can get a near seamless flow of content throughout the year. There's almost never a time where we think Twice has disappeared. Even when they're resting and just decide to take a stroll in the park they would do a V-Live to talk to the fans. Not all groups have that luxury. JYPE and TWICE truly understand the importance of fan service for growing groups.

So cute! talented stans for our talented queens Twice! Greedy is probably my second favorite unit stage. first being Black Cat Nero (Dahyun & Tzuyu).

Signal currently has an all-kill and people are jamming out to this song. I remember when Knock Knock came out and people we're worried about it's success too. I'm so infuriated by people trying to make this comeback look like a flop when it's already coming out as one of the most dominant songs this year. Not just because of TWICE's popularity too. JY Park is getting flamed but he honestly pushed the envelop for TWICE with Signal and it's bound to be one of the most successful songs this year. I'm probably going to take a break from OH and keep my Twitter feed news/chart info only.

I love Nayeon's granny hot nerd concept. So beautiful!

Do you think their concept pictures are A) Aliens with super powers B) Super powered students fighting aliens C) Our girls just have bad cellphone reception and are looking for a Signal D) None of the above There are no wrong answers...except D. D is the wrong answer

We should also take into consideration that JYP was also involved with the production of Black Eyed Pilseung's title tracks. He obviously didn't have a huge hand in composing the songs lyrically or musically but he listen to all of his artists songs before they're released and gives input when needed. This is his first title track with the group but he's been with Twice long before they've made their debut. Twice is in great hands

There are some things I'm excited for in terms of J.Y Park's production. 1. He's obviously known Twice longer than any other producer. He has a history with them and understands the vocal personalities of each Twice member. 2. Kairos produced Next Page from Twicecoaster. It's one of my favorite side tracks on that album. I know a lot of you are thinking of Suzy's Yes No Maybe as a flop but even though it didn't chart that well I still think it's a great song. Kairos already has experience with Twice. Experience is usually a good thing. 3. We can compare their previous work with other groups all we want but this is a brand new ball game. JYP and Kairos are producing for Twice. They're like the Swiss army knife of girl groups. All of their voices have a unique color that producers love to play around with. No offence to GOT7, Suzy and I.O.I but musically, it's like the producers got a massive upgrade in terms of flexibility and style. 3.5. To further elaborate my point. J.Y. Park is definitely a pop-music genius. He doesn't have a perfect record but he's definitely the type to learn from his shortcomings. When he produced GOT7's early stuff (Girls Girls Girls, A) a lot of people felt like his music was dated. fast forward to 2017, he produced another GOT7 song, Never Ever which is a huge improvement compared to the other Got7 songs. Sure it didn't chart well, but it's GOT7...enough said. He also produced I.O.I's Very Very Very. The general consensus is that it's a good song. The highlight of the song though is Nayoung and Mina's rap. It was both cute but powerful at the same time and it had a great flow with the song. There's another girl group song that he produced that isn't talked about much, Unnies' Shut Up. J.Y Park had a lot of fun producing that song because he loved bringing out the voice of the Unnies into the song. They all had unique personalities and he used that to create a succesful song. it actually charted well (#3 on Gaon) for a song that stemmed from a variety show and it only had two singers (Jessi, Tiffany) the rest we're actors and tv personalities. Kinda tough to work with but he managed and had a great time doing so. So let's take all of that to account with Twice. Twice has something Got7 didn't have at the start and that's musical recognition chart wise. They're also coming in with an incredible amount of momentum. This makes it easier for JYP. All eyes ears are already on him so he doesn't need to reach far to gather attention. I.O.I had some great rappers that also have a cuteness to them. JYP does an amazing job making female rappers stand out (Wonder Girls' Yubin is probably the best example). Now he's working with the Pretty Rapstar Chaeyoung and the Energetic Tofu Dahyun. Expect our rappers to slay. Finally, JYP has an amazing history of doing well with bringing out the personality in a song. From g.o.d's To My Mother to the Unnies' Shut Up. He enjoys working with personality. Which 9 girls do we know that have amazing unique personalities that would bring sunshine and happiness to us in the form of a song. Twice obviously. J.Y Park has all the tools he can ever want in a hit song with Twice as his muse. Let's not forget that Twice has a tendency to be very producer friendly. Black Eyed Pilseung's most successful songs was with Twice. collapsedone's didn't have many hit songs, mostly because he did sidetracks. Knock Knock is without a doubt his most successful song. J.Y Park definitely has a better track record than collapsedone and even Black Eyed Pilseung. he produced three songs that got a Song of the Year awards (Nobody, Tell Me, Again & Again). So if you look at the trend,,, this might be J.Y. Park's biggest song yet, and he already produced 3 SOTY. I understand that you all have your worries, but fear not! If what I wrote isn't enough to make you trust JYP, you should at least know to trust Twice. We might be about to witness 2017's song of the year and it's not going to be produced by PSY, Teddy, BEP or Brave Sound. It's going to produced by The Asian Soul J.Y Park. IU might be hitting melon's roof right now. Twice is going to do a lot more than hitting...they're going to break it!

nah, it's a lot of the new people that are worried. JYP has an amazing track record. He produced many SOTY from Wonder Girls to Miss A. His last few songs were great too! Get hyped!
