looks like tzuyu might not renew her contract with jyp...

i just came across this interview of tzuyu’s father, i tried to check it’s legitimacy but nothing pops up probably cause it’s in chinese but since this was posted by her global fan union itself i’m assuming it’s true. based on her father’s words it doesn’t seem like she’ll renew her contract once it’s up, understandable considering jyp has basically done nothing for her compared to sm and yg despite her being the most popular member.

We will see. It doesnt matter what the fans or even her father says at the end of the day Tzuyu's decision is what matters. She is a already an adult.

agreed, a part of me hopes that she’ll renew her contract and another part of me hopes that she won’t but as you said at the end of the day what tzuyu wants to do is all that matters.

jyp should’ve pushed her more. she had so much potential, literally could’ve been the next yoona/suzy with CF deals and modeling contracts... and on top of that she’s still so young. jyp needs to start giving the girls some solo activities. they’ve established themselves as a group, now i think it’s time the members start thinking about their individual careers. it’s just my opinion though, i know how much they value promoting as a group

when twice had just debuted the hype around her was crazy, people were calling her the next suzy. she would’ve been just as popular individually as irene and jisoo if she was pushed more, but they have recently starting doing more solo activities so let’s see how it goes.

Quote from SooYoung

personally i think leaving JYP would be the best for her

tzuyu doesn't seem like someone who dream of being a singer or hope to do this forever

i think she mostly use the idol career as a first step in the entertainement to maybe become an actress

and it's clear that until Twice is doing well as a group JYP isn't ready to make them do solo activities

and i doubt she'll be ready to wait 10 years to go into acting

considering that theres tons of actors in korea, and that drama don't usually hire actor idols who are more than 10+ years in the industry with no acting experience

i think if she want to pursue an acting career , the best for her would be to go now, she did enough money with twice, she's still young to go into acting and make some experience here and there, and take the advantage of being of twice still having some momentum in contrary of waiting of Twice losing momentum who would have been benefit for her solo career

she might even wants to become an actress in china or taiwan

but until she's out of JYP her solo career will go nowhere

i honestly doubt she can have any solo career in korea considering how less jyp has promoted her, she was the most popular during debut in korea and now she’s the 5th most popular and there’s also the accent problem. she can’t have a career in china either unless she starts sucking up to ccp (which she hopefully won’t) but she can definitely have a good career in taiwan. personally i feel like if she leaves twice she’ll just go back to taiwan and lay low while doing some modeling stuff, but she did mention interest in acting.

With Tzuyu I wonder if she's one of the idols who got into this at a very young age, matured, and realized it's not what she wants. She doesn't seem like she enjoys many aspects of being an idol, not that we see her much. I may be wrong, but it doesn't look like she finds much fun in it.

sometimes i wonder about that too, but she has talked about wanting to do a lot of stuff and she always sounds excited when talking about them and recently she also talked about her melody project coming soon and she sounded so happy about it but then in another live she mentions that there have been some complications and she doesn’t know when it’ll come out. i feel like her being disinterested has more so to do with the company not letting her do what she wants rather than her being not wanting to be a idol anymore, i think she adores the other members and loves being a part of twice but again that’s just how i feel.

Quote from Water_oWl

wrong, they did plenty for her until the flag scandal, when they thought it was time for her to keep a low profile...

i respect your opinion but plenty? the only thing they did for her was the lg ad, which was the biggest endorsement of her individual career and that was a mess. other than that i don’t think they did anything special. even in the mv’s she barely gets screen time despite the main visual, compare that to all the other groups visuals and it’ll be obvious. it’s also been years and she’s the only member without a melody project but she’s finally getting one so ig that’s good.

Quote from glitglpwm

I don't know if any of the foreign line will renew their contracts even though they are so popular. JYP rarely gives them opportunities and it is on purpose. Remember Jackson said he was not allowed to promote in Korea and Sana/Momo's opportunities are mostly from Japan side. They rarely get solo opportunities in Korea.

The way JYP exploited them to the point where multiple members experienced anxiety is appalling. Even if Tzuyu renews her contract, tbh it's a big question whether Mina or Jeongyeon will. Though some members have solo shoots in the past (Mostly Nayeon tbqh) Tzuyu has zero? It doesn't make sense. Everything she wears is sold out quickly. I'm sure she already has multiple offers for CFs. Her melody project was supposed to come out weeks ago and it is still being delayed. JYP knows he exploited them & won't be getting more from them... that's why he is debuting so many groups in 2022.

the company doesn’t even do the bare minimum for them anymore, it’s also annoying how the songs are constantly out of their range and the choreos only keep getting harder knowing well that they’ll get hate for their encore stages, the company doesn’t even bother hiring a proper vocal coach and teaching them the proper vocal technique instead they continue to make them use the half-air-half-sound technique and they don’t do anything to protect them from the hate either. they all deserve so much better at this point.
