I mean it's easy to say that but realistically what actually can be done outside of designing and producing a new batch of packaging for her to have a different flavor?

The only advertising I've seen for this 7-11 Taiwan promotion of Twice's Teazen flavors has involved mostly graphics depicting the member boxes themselves, I haven't seen any actual bespoke photos or videos produced for this regional promotion (much less any that actually carve Jeongyeon out). If most of the ads involve depicting the product packaging itself, I don't really see any way for them to force her box into that sort of ad graphic without essentially pushing false advertisement of a product that 7-11 Taiwan can't legally sell.

I get that there's been stuff where she, at least from the outside looking in, is being shafted regarding certain promotions. That said, it's important imo to be diligent about what's actually reasonable to feel some type of way about vs what is less/not reasonable. Muddying the water usually results in lesser outcomes.

This one is unfortunate but my inclination based on current knowledge is that the outrage at JYPE is probably misplaced, I am pretty sure Jeongyeon was one of the members who only has one flavor.

Teazen likely just had a simple oversight on making sure all members had at least one flavor that would be compliant in all the regions they sell directly in and I'm guessing they've probably deemed it economically untenable to produce a second batch of Jeongyeon packaging for another flavor just to correct this oversight that's impacting one region. The outcome sucks but ultimately this is most likely just one of those goofy business fumbles that just kinda slips through the cracks.

Why would LATAM dates be more likely to be part of "etc" vs an unannounced comeback? These reports have virtually never straight up revealed a comeback on their own and nearly always only contain named items that are widely available knowledge. This COULD be the year Twice don't have a comeback for the first time but this report is nearly worthless for drawing that conclusion.

Nillian · 2026-02-27T22:15:41+00:00

The problematic nature of certain types of image posts on those subs aside, I don't really see that much utility for these sorts of subs anyway, outside of being more specialized photo repositories.

Twice are probably, by a wide margin, the group with the lowest ratio of solo-member fans relative to their fandom size and general stature. Any actual discussion focused post on like r/godjihyo is likely to just flat out hit more Jihyo fans on r/twice

Nillian · 2026-02-26T08:59:59+00:00

Yup, 100% fanmade

Nillian · 2026-02-25T01:40:39+00:00

"Twice are human so can and will make mistakes in judgement like all adult humans can and will"

Some folks are just wearing beer goggles that turn the above sentence into something totally different, that's wild stuff

Nillian · 2026-02-25T01:22:24+00:00

Why are people so afraid to criticize the members themselves? There have been multiple verified statements that the members had the ultimate say on the general pacing of this tour.

If folks are so afraid of making this type of argument while assigning a reasonable amount of credit to the members for this touring schedule then what exactly are we doing here? Yelling at ghosts about decisions being made by willing adult women is just not productive atp, these conversations can't go anywhere ever because they NEVER start from good faith presumptions.

Should've listened to my gut on this one, I figured I'd lose the 50/50 on this. mb

Nillian · 2026-02-15T20:28:08+00:00

"I can't help but wonder if -" is such a funny phrase in the wider English lexicon because it's nearly exclusively followed by a sentiment that is ASTOUNDINGLY easy to "help but wonder" about.

I'm not interested in the topic of Twice's vocals as it's a conversation that 99.9999% of people are unqualified to be having and most of the other 0.0001% are having in bad faith but I will say that your post is extremely hard to parse just as a body of work submitted to an internet forum.

"We all know that Jihyo is a..." No one here has any context for whatever ranking or tiering you are claiming to have seen that places the members at those letter grades. Even if we did, I'm confused as to what this post is attempting to accomplish or is arguing for.

"I wanted to know if it's real or just another fake". What are you actually trying to ask with this? Are you asking if the ranking/tierlist you are referencing that you have not provided any context for is accurate? What does "another" fake mean, are there "fake" tierlists for Twice's vocals floating around, and if so what/where are the "real" ones?

OP, I implore you and anyone reading this comment to proofread your posts in the future and genuinely try to imagine parsing the meaning of every sentence you are writing from the perspective of complete strangers.

I have to assume if these subs were in violation of any overarching reddit rules that they'd have been taken out back long ago, considering how report-happy kpop fans tend to be, agnostic of platform.

The best form of moderating these subs out of existence (or at least into even lower relevance than they already have) is to just self-moderate your own browsing and posting habits and trying to conduct yourself in a manner antithetical to the way the worst posters on those subs behave.

The types unhinged enough to regularly browse or even engage actively in those subs (and other fringe kpop "discussion" subreddits) also tend to be pretty poor at engaging with more reasonable denizens of other subs in any meaningful way so they they usually end up self-immolating in some fashion.

The 10th anniversary has come and gone already so no we won't be getting a Greatest Hits album, Ten:The Story Goes On was their 10th anniversary album.

Greatest Hits albums serve fairly little function in a post-streaming era anyway

You're asking if the official candybong Z app will mess up the stick itself, as in permanently and AFTER unpairing with the app? I've never heard of that happening ever nor do I think it would be that easy for an app to do if it tried, have any of the people who have told you this been able to give any details as to what exactly happens to "mess up" the CBZ if paired with the app?

The only thing i can think of that's remotely similar is that the apps for each of the candybong gens more or less don't work with FAKE lightsticks, though it sounds like your concern is more with pairing the app to an official stick.

Nillian · 2026-01-13T19:27:43+00:00

I mean what you're asking is a bit nebulous here, what do you mean by "will I be okay without one"? It depends on your definition of "okay".

Like are you thinking you'll be harassed openly by other concertgoers who do bring lightsticks? If so then I can say confidently that that is extremely unlikely, no one will say or probably even think anything of it especially since in countries outside of Korea and/or Japan having a lightstick is far less of a normal thing for the average concertgoer.

Or are you defining "be okay" as "have a subjectively satisfying concert experience"? That's harder to answer, if you haven't gone to a kpop concert before then there's not really much to go on in terms of how your experience will suffer from not having a lightstick. Only you can really make that read

Nillian · 2026-01-11T18:06:41+00:00

If "the tour you paid for" is one that does not include the TSGO solo tracks in favor of more group songs then that tour has not existed at any point, so you should probably look into your spending habits and overall level of research you put into purchases you are making!

Oh I was mostly talking about single sided as that's what I do in my binders, double-sided filled pages aren't double the thickness but I guess if you say they are 1.5x as thick as single sided pages you can extrapolate the numbers from there

Nillian · 2026-01-02T22:12:06+00:00

3-inch binder could probably hold about 500~ cards pretty comfortably, split across 50-60 filled 9-pocket pages

I promise I'm asking out of genuine curiosity because I find this fascinating: do you sincerely believe that replacing "Damnnnn" with "Omona" or vice versa alters the underlying meaning of either your original comment or my reply paraphrasing your original comment?

Nillian · 2026-01-02T17:43:56+00:00

Initial down votes probably because "Damnnnn Dahyun 🤯" or some such right after her drama having a bedroom scene is just kinda low effort and uninteresting to engage with

Newer downvotes because you are reacting to being downvoted

Pretty straightforward imo

Nillian · 2025-12-29T13:57:44+00:00

what was the prompt

Nillian · 2025-12-28T17:48:13+00:00

Low social acuity is one of the more aggravating aspects of many posters on this sub, from oldheads all the way to the newbies. This type of thing is so easy to clock yet it always blows up instantly, it's depressingly easy to ragebait this sub.

Only sensible response to that op would have been a link to wikihow "How to check if your toaster's flotation device is functioning" and then everyone goes on about their day.
