Why are TWICE's Full Albums always released in the last months of the year?

Good question. I also wonder why but in FOL case, it’s pretty obvious it was planned to be released in 2022 but they are rushing because of the upcoming world tour which will probably take most of their time.

JYP is rushing when they don't need to. It's obvious they are trying to squeeze all these comebacks together before twice don't re sign. It's very stupid! They just had a full album, it would make sense to just wait until 2022, they are over working twice badly and it's a stupid move on their end.

Maybe to make the year go out with a bang? Or touring?

Does this count as our daily AKP Twice contract trolling? Is it out of the way?

No idea but I'm just happy to get new music from Twice

I don't know but it warms my heart whenever twice release a new song

to avoid rekting everyone else in the award season of course

I mean albums are frequently gifts in Asian countries and the holiday/gift season is abundant over there so it would make sense to release during the time of the year where people are splurging a lot so that they sell more, from a business perspective.

They don't sell more

This. I also think it's related to their anniversary. If you check all their full album release dates, most of them are around their anniversary (October 20)

Twicetagram, BDZ, &Twice, Eyes Wide Open and Formula for Love were all released around that time and I do agree that albums make good gifts for the holiday season or times were family reunions are common.

Same with Eyes Wide Open, that album was amazing and they could have released it in June and DITCH More & More, which might both increase Eyes Wide Open sales to be higher as well as I Can't Stop Me will do much better after the 9-month break from TWICE. Also, M&M kinda killed the hype for ICTSM resulting in ICTSM not having a high peak on charts but it charted longer than M&M. The situation could have been different if they released ICTSM and Eyes Wide Open as the first and only album of the year for TWICE?

My exact opinion!!

You raise a valid point

it's JYPE (The company) and div3 so no one knows what they think anymore.
