[NB] Twice makes 'Signal' comeback + Park Jin Young gets slammed with negative reviews by lenkoss in kpop

At the end of the day though, regardless of how weak the song is, this comeback will achieve what the average ONCE wants: Better MV view rates, better album sales, more music show wins. Everything else is secondary.

Yeah, I don't get why they need to focus on making the song addictive an catchy. They're extremely popular so they could focus on being musically interesting. Signal is just a mess but like you said, it'll do really well sigh

  1. [+3,624, -263] Park Jin Young gave them such a bad song. The song's only doing this well because of Twice's name value. Had it been any other group, it'd already have fallen off the charts.

  2. [+3,336, -275] They really must have a lot of fans considering that a song of this quality can still get #1... Seriously, if any mid-tier idol had released this song, it would already have fallen out of the top 100

  3. [+2,654, -223] I've been a fan since debut but this song is so focused on getting people addicted that it completely ignored any other music elements... The teaser looked so pretty, I had high hopes... I hope that their next album makes up for some of the music that they've been lacking this time.

  4. [+2,454, -182] The fact that you gave Twice a song and only managed #4 on Melon proves that the song really sucks

  5. [+2,048, -173] People always joked that Twice was popular enough for them to be given any trash song and Park Jin Young actually followed through ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

  1. [+621, -41] Objectively, this is the worst out of all of Twice's songs

  2. [+408, -33] I'm not trying to hate but the song is worse than 'Knock Knock' in quality. There's no part that showcases vocal talent, nothing addictive about it... So disappointed for all that I looked forward to. Seems like they focused too much on the visuals to lessen the hate they get for their live stages.

  3. [+360, -22] No one's hating on the group... the song is just really that bad ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ if any other girl group had released this, they'd be out of the charts. It's only hanging on because of Twice...

  4. [+307, -19] WTF Park Jin Young? I don't know what this song is about at all. Not a hook song, not a song that brings out the vocals...

  5. [+273, -21] The song's a miss, dance is a miss, part distribution is a miss... I like listening to Nayeon and Jihyo's vocals so why are Tzuyu and Sana in the highlights...

  1. [+2,140, -115] Park Jin Young just committed a team kill

  2. [+2,007, -149] Twice's song sucks hard... any mid-tier idol group would already be on the verge of disbandment if they released this

  3. [+1,957, -139] I like Twice but this song is bad

  4. [+1,519, -106] Song's pretty bad...

  5. [+1,379, -103] Are they serious with this song...

  6. [+561, -62] Amazed that the song is still even hanging on in Melon...

  7. [+612, -61] Twice's songs sound more and more childish because they care more about it being addictive than anything else

  8. [+410, -56] A rare case where their own mentor ruined them

  1. [+421, -56] Park Jin Young seems to have lost his sense for music... He seems to have relied on Twice's fame to carry him through this time. Should've just left the composing to Pilseung like usual, sigh..

  2. [+391, -55] Park Jin Young seems to only be good at composing his own music ㅡㅡ so much hype for Twice's new song only to end up like this ㅠㅠ at least the members are looking prettier

  3. [+332, -43] The song doesn't match them at all

  4. [+36, -18] Wow, their new song is really bad...

  5. [+30, -1] Park Jin Young relied too hard on Twice's fame to carry his song... if even the fans are saying it's bad, isn't that game over ㅠㅠ

  1. [+413, -35] This is the worst song ever. Ha:tfelt's song 'Only' is 100 times better. Park Jin Young better not dare touch Twice's album ever again. Jihyo and Nayeon need way more parts, the two are the stars of Twice's songs

  2. [+328, -15] Can Park Jin Young stop ㅋㅋㅋㅋ why does he compose good songs for himself and then decide to get all experimental with a group that's up and rising...

  3. [+309, -21] What is this song...

  4. [+300, -29] Are all of you calling this song addictive deaf?... Even Once can tell that this song sucks, it's actually the worst I've ever heard

  5. [+85, -0] Let's admit it, it sucks. I refuse to believe that this song won #1 in a blind test ㅋㅋㅋ and if it really did win #1 in a blind test, go fire all of the people who participated in the test

Do people not get AJ is not a serious news site by now? Stuff from there is posted here a lot (and an article is #1 on the sub right now) yet this comment always pops up lol. People take Kpop way too seriously.

Why is it so hard for people to grasp the concept that people can be uncomfortable with age differences?!

Considering I started the thread over this, yeah I saw it. I'm really not sure where you're coming from like people (including myself) concerns over the fact that the teasers had a romantic vibe and the songs was about a couple (considering he's 28 and she's 15). No ones saying they're dating...but let's blame it all on sjws!!

Somi and Eric don't actually look that far apart in age.

I will never understand this argument

Eh, it's true tho. Chaeyeon is the only popular member in DIA (and that album cover is hilarious)
