I notice Twice & Stray Kids also didn't have individual instas until years into their career
But why? Is the company nervous about what they might say/post? But then how is that different from Bubble or Vlive or whatever?
what I said to rainbow and moguri previously
"
for 6 years JYP (the man) had the ghost of Suzy haunt him that he not only failed but actively prevented any solo activities to the twice members...
prior to twice and BP there were only two GG in the entire history of GG that renewed with all members with the same company Dreamcatcher and Mamamoo*
thus for GG female idols generally have a "expiry period" whether you want to or not...it could be that you want to continue as a group but your team members don't they might have solo ambitions or date or want to start a family or acting or a variety of other reasons...and thus for female idols group renewals are just not on the cards
and guess what if one wants to continue in the entertainment industry then one better sure as hell stand out somewhat outside of one's group because if one didn't have solo activities during the first seven years it's going to be so much harder trying to get solo activities post 1st contract renewal...
now how does that tie back to JYP and Twice? well Twice had none (or very very limited) solo activities for the first six years and by the first six months of their seventh year they had more solo activities than the entire previous six years combined they only got their individual IG accounts last year...
therefore their best bet was to renew with JYPE since they had no presence outside of being twice
Personally I couldn't give two shits about JYPE or YGE I like Twice and I like BP I would always want the best for the members and therefore BP having individual companies is what's best for BP members
For Twice though you cannot tell me that JYP actively preventing (yes I said preventing) them from solo activities for 6 years is in the best interests of Twice members
