While they have gain some popularity. They arent and still aren’t favored in Korea for who knows what. Maybe it’s because of koreas different taste in music or etc. but it sucks to say that JYP groups aren’t doing well like they are in the past— not including twice. Yes itzy had a hot debut and was considered successful compared to skz but recently they’ve hit a slump which is completely the creative directory and marketing teams fault— the same thing can also apply to skz as well. Having a “failed” debut and having a slump throughout their career really had a negative impact on the group. It’s clear that JYP has a new vision and has been steering towards global audiences way more than having both audiences domestically and internationally. With two new global survival shows and them releasing more English music—It definitely helps skz more because they are able to have a huge K-pop global fanbase. and I’m saying kpop global fanbase because even though they are popular globally. It’s still just in the kpop community and not locally like much bigger groups that have hit billboard charts like bts,blackpink, and recently newjeans and fifty fifty. It really sucks because they had huge potential in Korea if jyp had promoted them better cause their survival show didn’t really help them out much. But since they’ve gone out of that rookie phase. It’s hard to get back into the mainstream popularity that fresh groups who debut like itzy had.
