TWICE on the Hardest Part of Being a K-Pop Idol

[@Irene-V]

That is something that I thought would improve with the contract renewal, I imagined that they would put more rules in their benefit, I don't know if it is because they were afraid of leaving the company or leaving and having to make decisions on their own, they are so tired and Nayeon have a point, I love them and i'll be equaly happy if them take a big break too.

[@mayaholt4574]

At this point they are big enough that they have the power to ask the company for time off. People need to lay off JYP. They are working because they want to work. They understand how popularity is fickle and if you disappear for long enough it’s easy to be replaced. Plus haven’t you noticed the increased solo/subgroup work. That’s something they requested and negotiated for. They want it.

[@花青]

Jihyo is so pretty

[@Maria.0.1]

Give my girls VACATIONS omg. Give them a year to do whatever they want 🥺

[@LxuiicasLabels]

Like a 1 month break TXT will have in January 2025

[@user-kt2cr5qi3h]

don't really understand why jyp hasn't given them a year long break. they've already left behind a legacy that will be remembered for generations and brought a lot of income in for the company and themselves. if it's something ALL 9 of them are actively asking for, then sure. but it seems they themselves are getting tired :/ most of their 3rd gen peers have taken long-term breaks (hell, some have full on disbanded) so i don't see why they can't or shouldn't. if the fans are real fans, they'll still be here no matter what.

[@mayaholt4574]

Yes they are popular but a year off is risky no matter how big. Just look at what happens to boy groups after military service. It’s very hard to get back to the same level of popularity. Twice understands this and wants to work. That’s why they are all starting to branch into solo work. They have the urge to do more and push their name further along. Yeah they are tired but that’s everyone with a job. Just like how students always complain about school but it’s not that they actually want to leave their studies. People need to lay off the company. Twice is big enough that if taking time off was truly their wish it would happen

[@Dma118]

@@mayaholt4574one or two fluent English members would be a game changer. NewJeans and BLACKPINK both have multiple members like this and i think it makes the biggest difference in connecting with a global audience. Those groups also don’t seem as overworked as TWICE

[@モーフィアス]

I think despite the lack of time to hone and improve their English they still communicate and understand the language very well. I'm surprised to see when the members take and read the fan letters written in English. 🗣

[@BangtanWingsOT7Century-bl7ri]

Twice deserves a break they have endlessly Been working non stop soo much For Once soo much please JYP Give them break

[@josephhuang1163]

Everybody wants to be an idol. But nobody wants to work that hard.

[@Dma118]

They’re on that slave contract.

[@wnose]

Meanwhile, Tzuyu finished a MASTER's degree

[@oncewithtwice]

Right!! Gosh, I wish I had her time management skills and dedication. There's no excuse for me now lol

[@thatonequietkid_lol]

frrr

[@specialtwice4975]

Do we know it’s a master’s? Or was it just a regular degree? I can see a degree because it only take 4 years and you can even take part time online classes in like 5 years. But a master’s you need to write papers and do lots of thesis and studies. Did Tzuyu say master’s?

[@specialtwice4975]

And a master’s takes like 6 or 7 years.

[@hanmira]

@@specialtwice4975 I heard it was a „master‘s“ degree, as in, she took online classes at a school/college in Spain and could use her previous experience as an idol to already start off with a bachelor’s degree in psychology. Seems sketchy ngl, but maybe someone else has better info than me. But that would explain why she got her master‘s degree so quickly.

[@Leenachway]

IT SO HARD 😢

[@recordemiup]

Jihyo is just so beautiful omg

[@hernandezhernandez9829]

I LOVE YOU TWICE 🍭 🐰💚💓💜🧡🐧🤍♥️💙

[@Dma118]

Why are they still on the debut group schedule

[@marasantos5166]

This is a question I wanted to ask the girls ever since 2015

[@Dma118]

The company needs to take notes from the biggest girl groups BLACKPINK and NewJeans. Both have multiple fluent English speakers and have gone to become the biggest girl groups in the world. I think that makes a huge impact on winning the hearts of fans overseas. They need to keep developing the members.

[@mistermystery2143]

TZUYU CAN STILL FINISH MASTER'S DEGREE

[@JosepManjarrez]

350 out of 365 day a year, you have to wonder where she gets the time to develop studies and research that a serious phd degree requires...

[@mayaholt4574]

@@JosepManjarreza masters is not a PhD lol

[@JosepManjarrez]

@@mayaholt4574 Oh, yeah, youre right, my mistake. THerefore, I have to retract my previous observation, a masters degree is easier to get, and its totally reasonable to get one dedicating ten days out of the year to obtain it. My sincere apologies.

[@lizzychan844]

They're valid. But it's also kinda hard to sympathise and find celebrities relatable. K-pop idols need to have better fans though.

[@roter13]

They need a break from work and also from each other. I'm not saying that in a bad way but even married couples need time apart.

[@priapushk996]

We know there's a language barrier, but it'd be nice if everyone followed Sana and spoke to Zach instead of the translator.

[@sexbuffet]

ya'll weirdos nitpick everything, this video is cut so short you obviously wouldn't see them switching their focus

[@drizzo4669]

Im sure the money is pretty good as well. 😂 Them Prada bags aint cheap.

[@fafitah]

If you're not aware, kpop idols are in debt with the company at the start of their career. The company invests millions in training and any extra debut fees. So even if they don't make it, they're in debt and have to pay back the company. Majority of the times, they can receive their first good paycheck after years of hard work.

[@JosepManjarrez]

I think we all really hope that. I mean, being probably the most successful kpop female group for ten years, these ladies should be millionaires. Every single one of them. But if you think about it, millionaires dont work 350 of 365 day of the year. They dont need to. So, probably they are not that rich. By the way, those luxury brands are made for the poor people who need to demonstrate an economic level they dont have. Really rich people dont use them.

[@JosepManjarrez]

@@fafitah Not even the most expensive university in the world costs "millions". Not even close. That scheme is just a fraud to turn them into slaves.

[@sexbuffet]

she wasn't complaining about money lol

[@c_0910_K]

@@JosepManjarrez Rich people don't use luxury items??? 😂😂😂 That's a narrow perspective.

You have two kinds of Idols...plastic made up ones or the ones from SM Ent. BoA, Taeyeon, Wendy, Winter.....see a Pattern here? 아이돌은 두 가지 종류가 있습니다... 플라스틱으로 만든 아이돌과 SM엔터테인먼트 소속 아이돌입니다. 보아, 태연, 웬디, 윈터...여기서 패턴을 보셨나요?

[@c_0910_K]

All plastics. Nothing is real from SM either😂

[@sirblanka]

I hate when idols bite the hand that feeds them. They knew what they were getting into.... and after becoming millionaires they want to complain? UGH

[@jo_claire7520]

They were asked a question and they answered truthfully, what did u even want them to say???? 😭😭😭

[@ArianaAlemi]

Yeah theyre not robots. Imagine having to dance every single day for many hours, put up a fake personality that isnt who you are because its a requirement in your comtract. Be singing almost everyday. Having to learn to dance and sing at the same time. The human body doesnt give unlimited amounts of energy. You sound like an immature child who knows nothing about struggles.

[@ArianaAlemi]

Millionaires also complain to. Human beings in general no matter where theyre at. Have moments of complaining because things get overwhelming and too much work. People who own businesses and are wealthy complain from the stress of making sure everything is in order… noone is a fucking robot

[@Dma118]

Typical 40 iq K-pop drone. The group is clearly on a slave contract overworked and this is what you have to say. Their company is stunting the groups growth. They need time to decompress and sharpen their skills. If two members become fluent in English they will be global like blackpink and NewJeans.
