ITZY's "LOCO" performance is also a TWICE unit...

★ ITZY has won their first music show with "LOCO".
On KBS2's "Music Bank" broadcast on October 8, ITZY's "LOCO" and NCT 127's "Sticker" were nominated as candidates for first place.
The one who took first place out of these was....ITZY!
ITZY has now achieved their first comeback crown.
Leader Yeji commented, "There are so many people who worked hard for this album. Thank you to PD Park Jinyoung, the staff, and the managers and oppas. I also think that thanks to MIDZY, I was able to sing and dance on stage with the strength I gained. I'm very grateful."
♦ Music that is rising in popularity #26 ITZY “LOCO” M/V 70,976,740 views
This is the 26th most popular MV on YouTube.
The scoring method is different for each station, so there is no need to doubt that it was ranked 1st on “Music Bank”.
However, as the performance has changed from rough to stable, what is the reason for the impression that it is becoming closer to TWICE’s music?
I feel that songs like “LOCO” would have sold better if they had been released as a unit of Nayeon, Sana, Momo, Jeongyeon, and Tzuyu.
The TWICE unit is clearly superior in terms of their charming performance, and Nayeon and Jeongyeon’s singing line is not inferior to ITZY’s.
However, TWICE has come back so frequently that they cannot afford to do unit activities.
As fans know, they have been busy with activities with the full members.
TWICE was born to connect Japan and Korea.
If they had five or six members, they would have been too similar to KARA, so I think they debuted with the same number of members as Girls' Generation, which is a different type of group.
Just as JYP had expected, TWICE brought about the first movement since KARA.
They led the resurgence of K-POP.
TWICE's popularity was so great that it connected Japan and Korea, so it's not surprising that JYP, which has benefited from TWICE's popularity, is plotting revenge on Wonder Girls, whom it failed to get into the US.
Following BTS's advance, BlackPink is also becoming popular in the US.
JYP could not have just sat back and done things with the pride of having led the way in the US with Wonder Girls.
The birth of ITZY, a girls' group aiming to advance into the US, was, so to speak, inevitable.
In fact, when they debuted, they gave the impression of having the momentum to reach America.
Except for one miscalculation.
What was a miscalculation was that there were no foreign members.
K-pop groups increase their output by adding members from neighboring countries.
In particular, it is safe to say that adding a Japanese member would increase their output by 20%.
It seems that ITZY's popularity has plateaued due to this lack.
They are having difficulty breaking through the American wall and their sales are not increasing.
I wonder if I'm the only one who thinks that they are shifting to music that compromises with Asian fans, such as Japan...
If they had added a Japanese member and continued as a group of six, they would have created a significant fandom in Japan and would have been more determined to go to America...
ITZY and TWICE have made comebacks one after the other, but I don't feel that there is much difference between the songs "LOCO" and "The Feels" even if they were swapped.
The only difference is that they are performing with five people instead of nine...
In the end, ITZY may end up never being able to stand shoulder to shoulder with TWICE.
