think about it from twice and jyp and kpop history my friendI remember Twice renewing their contract with JYP, so I wonder if they share your opinion![]()
prior to twice renewing in the entire history of kpop there have been two other GG where all the members have renewed with the same company
GG do not renew
GG have a limited shelf life - like it or not
and therefore female idols (for the majority) need to consider their future and what they do after being an idol since as per the above the majority of them do not continue to be idols (or at least not idols in a group) and therefore they need to branch out and make a name for themselves during the first 7 years not afterwards since being an idol as part of a group carries more weight than merely being an idol formerly of a group
now think about that with twice - prior to year 7 they had almost zero solo activities
we know how big sana's current CFs are - in year 8 - can you imagine her doing that at year 3/4/5 etc etc
we know jeongyeon wanted to be an actresses or at least start being one - denied by JYP
by all accounts - nayeon/jihyo and mimosa have been very very successful in years 7 and 8
(there's so much more but I think I made my point)
every individual member of twice has something going on for them
now what does JYP do - he prevents them from having any of the above for 6 bloody years
and guess what the consequences of that is? each individual member of twice is "weaker" and has less brand awareness and popularity than they would have had they had the chance to do all of that
for the first six years they were sana of twice, nayeon of twice etc etc not just SANA, NAYEON in their own rights
and now given what I said earlier it was I think very strategic of JYP to do what he did because the members of twice didn't get the exposure and as popular as they could have had he given them more solo activities which leads to the twice members renewing because of the lack of opportunities outside of JYP
compare the situation with BP or RV even
those members have so much more solo activities that they can choose if they want to renew with YG/SM respectively or not since their own brand/name as individuals exist outside of their group
