TWICE's Tzuyu was treated unfairly, Tao Xingying denounced JYP, fans were outraged

In recent days, the K-pop fan community and social media have been abuzz with the news that singer Dao Tinh Oanh appeared on air with merchandise, she briefly talked about the controversy about JYP's unfair treatment of singer Tzuyu ( TWICE).

Recently, TWICE's fan community erupted into controversy because of a video promoting Jihyo's variety show, in which TWICE's outfit and gesture are no different from the outfit Tzuyu wore in the clip apologizing for a political scandal in 2016. Most thought it was disrespectful to Tzuyu and unnecessarily rekindled old wounds. The show's production team later deleted the teaser video and apologized.

On April 30, when discussing the controversy, Tzuyu's mother's friend and former singer expressed her frustration on air with Tzuyu's merchandise, while criticizing her agency JYP Entertainment, saying, "When you copied to make that teaser video, did you think it was fun? Funny? I don't think anyone is going to be happy. Or do you think doing so will attract more attention?"

Next, Tao Xingying expressed his frustration, claiming that Tzuyu was shelved and treated unfairly by JYP Entertainment: "Out of 9 members, do you know what Tzuyu ranks in terms of Instagram followers? Tzuyu has 13.22 million followers on Instagram. If you're their boss, how do you arrange activities, like releasing solo albums?" The co-host replied, "Of course there will be more schedules for those with higher rankings."

Tao Xingying continued, "That's right, Tzuyu is not an ambassador of any brand. Number of individual activities Tzuyu ranked last in the group, never being on a magazine cover as a solo. The length of the group's solo segments since their debut is also among the shortest top 3. Despite his outstanding appearance and body, he has never participated in Fashion Week, while other members of the group like Jeongyeon have participated. These things don't match the popularity Tzuyu possesses."

Besides, Dao Tinh Oanh also mentioned TWICE's contract extension in 2022. She said Tzuyu agreed to renew her contract because she thought of the common interests of the group and other members: "Everyone should also know that, even under such circumstances, Tzuyu is willing to renew the contract. Tzuyu considers everyone's interests. If she is the only one who does not renew, TWICE will become an 8-member girl group. In addition, she privately told me that the unnies treated her very well.

JYP CEO, please be kinder to her. Wouldn't that increase the company's earnings? She has fans all over the world. She also sings quite well. Tzuyu has covered many English songs, and her voice is very good. And needless to say, all the members have good dancing skills. So why is the agency doing this?"

Finally, Tao Xingying delved into the controversy surrounding Ji-hyo's teaser, suggesting that JYP only apologized to fans without apologizing to Tzuyu was unfair mentioned above: "Why didn't anyone apologize to Tzuyu? Don't they think Tzuyu will feel hurt?" In addition, she further questioned the responsibility of JYP CEO and other stakeholders in releasing the Jihyo teaser, claiming that they intentionally "bullied" Tzuyu.

Tao Xingying continued: "That's right. For all TWICE's performances, videos, footage, commercial/ambassador schedules, and other things, TWICE's boss must first get approval, right? So, does that mean they've browsed this teaser video together? What about the managers who accompanied Jihyo to the photo shoot? Do you all agree with this? Do you ever think that this is wrong? And of course the production team. All these parties have to agree for this teaser video to be made."

Dao Tinh Oanh's sharing has attracted the attention of TWICE's fans and the online community. Many people agreed with Tao's views and called on JYP Entertainment to treat Tzuyu more fairly.

The hashtag #TzuyuDeservesBetter (Tzuyu deserves better) quickly trended on Twitter, with millions of tweets expressing support for Tzuyu.
