Should Nayeon from twice be considered an IT girl?

Quote from ISaidISaid

No one in twice has that IT factor and that’s ok.

It’s the same with Sullyoon from NMixx as well. They’re pretty but not IT girls and that’s ok.

Almost like JYP deliberately chooses idols like that lol. Idols that work well in a group but don’t really have that individual star factor.

You're completely wrong about Twice's supposed lack of "it factor," and that's not ok, but we're used to your bad takes by now.

Inherent "it factor" has nothing to do with it. JYPE didn't choose idols without it, they purposely sabotaged the ones who have it.

The proof is in the pudding popper lol

Yeah I think so.

Quote from 0ppar

idols with "it" shine even if their label doesn't push them.

Yup this is the truth. If you have the IT factor you’ll shine no matter what. No one in twice has this.

They have the IT factor as a group yes but not as individuals.

The proof that JYPE can't cook? Not Twice's fault.

That must be why all these brands started snatching them up the first chance they got, when everyone said they're past their prime and no longer marketable. Now imagine if JYPE hadn't been actively denying them solo gigs at their peak. There wouldn't be any crumbs left for the other supposed "it girls," and haters like you wouldn't be able to say anything.

I don’t think she’s an it girl in SK. To me an it girl is someone who utterly captivates the public’s attention, who goes viral for the most random of things and causes new trends/items to sell out just because she’s seen with them. I think there’s only a handful of it girls at any one time.

getting “brand” deals doesn’t make you an IT girl every other idol is getting brand deals lol.

No and that's okay. Twice don't have IT girls. Many members had the potential to become one but JYPE never capitalized on it.

Nayeon has outlasted many idols who were labeled IT girls like Irene, Seolhyun and Somi. She is still popular and has a successful solo career. How many idols who received the IT girl title can say that?

Well if everyone does it, then I guess there are no "it girls!"

... several, and Irene happens to be one of them.

It's subjective, but I don't think so?

Also, I don't recognize the last three people of the tweet (no offense)

Ella (Meovv), Ahyeon (babymonster),I think 3rd is from Hearts2Hearts. It does seem odd that people are trying to force "it girl" tag with 5th gen when none of them qualify. It will take years for that to happen.

I don't think being a pop star is the same as being an it girl. I count them as completely different roles.

I think being talked about is the most basic criteria for IT girl.

Ella was definitely being talked about because of her visuals (pre debut) but don't think she stands out in the group any more.

Ahyeon definitely got a lot of bad press and still gets it. She's a contender but hasn't had positive influence as yet to counter the bad press. YG is not even trying.

SM was definitely pushing at least three other girls for IT girl in H2H but Ian stood out immediately based on her performance on stage. She ended up on a variety show famous of her blinking 😆. She's the one I see with the most potential.

Irene's downfall was self-inflicted. Seolhyun was dragged down by Mina's bullying accusations. Somi...well she signed with TBL. All 3 fell off, but Nayeon was never at the level of those 3 at their peak.
