Did Lia cause ITZY's decline in SK?

It seems like she did because the group are not able to get back the gp's attention they once had and their image took a hit.

I feel like the fact that they never put her on a real hiatus made things worse.

I wonder what will it take for ITZY to ever have a hit in SK again??

No. I doubt the "GP" is very familiar with her scandal to be completely honest with you.

What caused their "decline" was that the company had no idea how to replicate Dalla Dalla. Then they completely gave up and gave them underwhelming concepts and songs.

…

idk up to this day dalla dalla and wannabe remain their best songs so it's hard to tell how it would've been without it

Not having Galaticka as the main producer for Itzy made them flop. They have been on the decline since debut.

no I don't think it mattered that much as people say. i think it's more to that there are more competition in girl groups compared to when they debuted and their music. i enjoyed dalla dalla when it came out but didn't really enjoy the other songs. I like wannabe though it's catchy.

I don't think anyone in Korea knows who she is.

what all these 4 gen groups had been brining to the table, and most of them from the big 4, is HYPE

Look how they started big, just because from pure reputation

Le Sserafim preorders were insane, with no music at all to back that up. People buying air, they live in a bubble, and bubble go puff...and they get startled

No jyp did just like they will do with nmixx

Nah, I don't think it's fair to pin the blame on one particular member. I think Itzy just has the same problem as JYP as a whole - they don't have any amazing in-house producers, so when their top producers move on their sound changes are too drastic for the fandom to accept.
