TWICE takes first place on Inkigayo for two consecutive weeks...6 music show crowns


TWICE has taken first place on Inkigayo for two consecutive weeks.


TWICE's song "LIKEY" took first place on SBS' Inkigayo, which aired on the 19th.


With this, they have achieved six crowns, having won twice on SHOW CHAMPION, Music Bank, and M COUNTDOWN, and twice on Inkigayo.


On this day, Kang Daniel and Ong Seungwoo worked together as special MCs on Inkigayo, alongside BLACKPINK's Jisoo and NCT's Doyoung.


In particular, Ong Seungwoo and Kang Daniel said, "It's an honor to be the special MC, not just on stage," and "I'd rather show you one word than a thousand words," drawing attention with their impressive hosting skills.


Then, their splendid comeback stage was revealed. The comeback stage, which had been prepared with the utmost effort, was performed with songs such as Samuel's "Candy," DK and Kang Minjung's duet "I'll be ur light," Lovelyz's "Twinkle," Wanna One's "Beautiul," and Red Velvet's "Peek-A-Boo," drawing cheers from fans.


Other groups that took to the stage were Super Junior, Block B, EXID, SEVENTEEN, MONSTA X, ASTRO, and gugudan, who thrilled fans.


The candidates for first place were TWICE's "LIKEY," URBAN ZAKAPA's "When We Were Two," and MeloMance's "Gift," and TWICE, who completed the stage while showing off their natural cuteness, took the top spot.


(From K-POP News)


TWICE continues their comeback activities in the lead.


Since they will likely finish their comeback activities while still in the lead, I would like to talk about the girls who will follow them.


Many groups disappear after one or two debuts and comebacks, but Lovelyz, EXID, and Red Velvet have weathered that many times and have already moved from mid-career to veteran status.


Watch the comeback stages of Lovelyz's "Twinkle," EXID's "DDD," gugudan's "Chococo," and Red Velvet's "Peek-A-Boo," which are following in the footsteps of TWICE, the leader of the K-pop girls' world.


Lovelyz, EXID, and Red Velvet debuted at different times, but they have achieved some success and are in a position to be pursued by their juniors as popular groups.


EXID and Red Velvet are both five-member girl groups, but they have succeeded in creating contrasting group images and have secured their own fan bases.


EXID is proud of the strong personalities of each member and their large-scale performances.


It's a shame that leader and main vocalist Solji has had to take a break due to health issues.


But looking around, there aren't any girl groups that seem likely to threaten their footing.


No EXID before EXID.


They maintain their position behind EXID without EXID.


Red Velvet's members don't assert their individuality as much as EXID.


If anything, they seem to control their individuality.


As a group, of course there are roles.


Who's the main vocalist, who's the sub, who's the main dancer, and so on...


I had been away from their music for a long time.


I used to watch their MVs every time they made a comeback.


But usually I only watched them once or twice.


I had forgotten Seulgi's face, which I once remembered, and now Irene's is the only one I remember.


In the case of Red Velvet, the members' individuality feels very weak.


But however weak it may be, their music has received a certain amount of support from fans.
On the contrary, their popularity has certainly grown.


What is the secret to their popularity?


I always watched their performances with this feeling in mind.


However, it seems that it is not good to go in with doubts.


I felt that I understood their good points by concentrating only on their performance, without trying to sense their strong personalities or unique qualities.


Their dance is just a little restrained. This casts a slight shadow over the dance, and the flashiness disappears.


From there, a different kind of brilliance emerges, simple and clean.


I wonder if they are doing this? It would be amazing if they were intentionally creating this image...


No matter how you look at it, their dance skills are on par with GFRIEND, but while GFRIEND's flashiness and intensity come out directly, Red Velvet's impression is gentler, more refined, and more mature.




Lovelyz's performances of "Twinkle" and gugudan's "Chococo" are very similar.


Lovelyz's technique is superior.


However, gugudan makes up for their inferiority by being lively.


The goal of both groups is to fill the stage with cuteness.


While Lovelyz and gugudan are going head-to-head, EXID and Red Velvet continue with their relaxed comeback stages.


With many girls looking up to them, it looks like Lovelyz will continue their nonstop comeback activities.
