While Jisoo received a "shower" of compliments for her remarkable progress, Mina , TWICE 's main dancer, unexpectedly disappointed with her stiff choreography. This reversal of fortune is a hot topic, attracting the attention of netizens.
BLACKPINK makes an impressive comeback with "DEADLINE Tour"
After 3 years of absence from music products, BLACKPINK made a spectacular comeback with the world tour DEADLINE Tour and the MV "Jump". The tour was almost "sold-out" at every stop, affirming the "queen" position of the YG Entertainment group. However, besides the great success, the tour also encountered many controversies, especially about the quality of the members' performances.
Jisoo, the member who was once criticized the most for her weak singing, poor dancing, and lack of flexibility in expression, suddenly became the center of praise. During the DEADLINE Tour, the eldest member of BLACKPINK was commented to have clearly improved her dancing, able to catch up with the other members.
Although her movements were not really smooth, the decisiveness, neatness and abundant energy that Jisoo brought helped her stand out no less than the other members. This breakthrough helped the Kim beauty erase part of the audience's prejudice and affirm her tireless efforts over the past time.
TWICE and the unsuccessful competition
Making a comeback on July 11, TWICE, BLACKPINK's arch-rival, released the album "This Is For" and the MV of the same name. However, the competition between the two top Kpop "girl groups" quickly came to an end. The JYP girl group lost miserably on all fronts: from streaming, digital music to popularity and discussion on social networks.
TWICE's tour has just kicked off in Incheon, South Korea, attracting more than 20,000 attendees. Despite being criticized as "flopping" on the charts, the appeal of the 9 female idols is still undeniable. However, a performance video at the concert has sparked another debate, when netizens put Jisoo and main dancer Mina on the scale to compare their dancing skills.
In contrast to Jisoo's progress, Mina shocked everyone when she performed with stiff, awkward, and powerless movements. Many fans had to question this, because Mina is known for her strength in flexibility, suppleness, and decisiveness, which was cultivated from years of studying ballet in the past. Netizens even sarcastically said that she "danced like a robot without oil".
Not only Mina, many opinions also said that the remaining members of TWICE are in the same situation: dancing as if they are out of breath, moving indifferently and sluggishly. Some people also affirmed that after nearly 10 years of working, the group has lost their "fire for the job" and professionalism.
Mixed reactions from the fan community
In the face of the rising wave of criticism, a group of ONCEs spoke up to defend their idols. They explained that because the stage was moving according to the organizers' intention and the stage surface was quite narrow, all 9 girls had to control their energy to maintain balance and avoid any unnecessary incidents.
Fans also confirmed that in other performances, Mina still "went crazy", dominated the stage and stirred up the atmosphere very well. Many people even said that every time the female idol went on tour, Sharon's personality would appear, exuding a sexy and bold look.
Therefore, the comparison videos from some social media users are considered unfair, subjective and intentionally trying to put down TWICE. Some ONCEs even "discovered" that the post owner is an anti-fan of the group. However, the debate continues, showing the great interest of the audience in these two famous girl groups.
The contrast between Jisoo's improvement and Mina's disappointing performance has created a hot topic of discussion. It not only reflects the pressure idols face after many years of activities, but also shows the audience's increasing expectations for performance quality.
