Why would her dating news effect their charting?? it's their music direction that did.

Isnt their evidence showing that from around that time Twices fandom demographics shifted away from being heavily male represented to more female represented?

like you pointed out, Twice in their early career dependent a lot on male fans and we all know male fans are more fickle than female
Those male fans will likely (1) move over to other newer groups overtime or (2) quit stanning Kpop because of life/relationship/reality hits etc
Those will bigger female fanbase or having the GP support will continue to perform better
It definitely hurt him more than it hurt her. Jihyo has never been popular in Korea, she really can't bring the group down unless she did something monumentally stupid.
But on the other hand, I remember 2019 being a weirdly rough year on Twice press wise. They were just being put on blast nonstop for the littlest things. Biggest controversy that year was Sana's post and Jihyo had her own "attitude" scandal too
Biggest controversy that year was Sana's post
What was that about?
I hate this narrative, nothing against you OP but it's always been demonstrably false. The average Korean listener isn't a creep and I'd elaborate but I'm on cough syrup.
everyone always blaming poor Kang Daniel for shit. Heaven forbid 2 people break up because they are all busy or just fell apart.
It's simply a matter of age and timing. Has nothing to do with dating (we've already seen numerous examples of how dating had no impact on GGs), or encore(no Once is going to stop staning over an encoure), or quality (quality has only gone up over the years).
Twice still had single digit chart positions up till until the end of 2021.
Twice Korean fanbase comprised majority of male fans, about 70%. Nobody is suprised when these fans move on to the next fresh and young group.
Instead of wondering what did Twice do to cause the decline, people should ask what was happening around that time?
Let's look at todays top groups that debut.
Aespa debut at the end of 2020.
IVE debut at the end of 2021
New Jeans and LSF debut in 2022.
The simple answer is the male fans moved on at no fault of Twice.
What was that about?
Commemorated the abdication of Emperor Akihito and the end of that era. Of course didn't really fly with Koreans
2020 twice ruined it 
I blame 'scientist', it was all downhill after that.
except 'Alcohol free' that was a bop.
Their bad songs affected it.
maybe?? there were a multitude of factors playing into everything. the new musical direction, momo and heechul, the encore stage etc. it all could be a contributor but not bigger than them changing their sound. they lost korea but their international popularity skyrocketed after fancy. i think it all worked out well as they’re able to hold stadium tours across the globe.
i think their breakup news destroyed lang daniel’s career. i swear jihyo was keeping him relevant. it’s like i haven’t heard from this guy since then at all..
Jihyo is not really popular so I don't get why her dating would matter.
Twice simply had to change concept and the group had a gradual decline. They weren't flopping back then even if they couldn't put out smash hits. Way better than what they do today on charts.
There is a pann post about this in reverse asking if Daniel dating her made him less popular lol.
Maybe
Some fans were annoying her so much that she had to scold them
