its not baseless or stupid when Twice said it themselves when people asked about their solo project
There are so many examples of managing group and solo promotions (real promotions) that the idea of "focusing on group promotions" is laughable. Or are you implying that they were forsed to do the solo projects so far?

The notion that "they don't want it" is really stupid and completely baseless.

And I always thought BDZ was full album too
On the topic, &TWICE is their best album

She never recovered from the neck injury and not dancing till Alcohol free is a proof of that.

Yeah, because JYP songs aren't always the title tracks. It's probably just a coincidence

Really dumb statement in this thread. Why do you have to be success stan when you don't like his songs??!
People just don't like them and the assumption that they are not liked by the fans of his groups because they aren't successful on the charts is the dumbest statement. His Twice songs have always performed worse in the Korean charts which represents GP's opinion.
And in the first place people have no problem with his personal songs

Alcohol-free is sweet summer song but it shouldn't be anything more than a B-side. I saw a lot of people pointing that is good as background music and I agree with them but title track shouldn't be like that. The man should distance himself entirely from his groups in all aspects of their management.
P. S. I see some Onces still pulling album numbers but Twice is a group that should have been selling 1M+ per album at this point. BTS brought so much new fans into Kpop and with the opening for the Chinese fans the sales of most groups jumped 2x, 3x or more but Twice is almost stagnant in that aspect.
And come on, 500K albums brings around $1M for the members which makes it around 110K per member without deducting taxes. One solo brand deal will make it up for the sales from several albums.

TWICE historically had an ethos of comforting warmth and relatability.
Their entire image, sound and manner reinforced this idea in their early career.
It was this relatability and comfort that was the foundation for their beloved status with the public.
They have largely abandoned that ethos.
In my opinion that is at the center of why TWICE lost their differentiation and special relationship.
This is only one part of the problem and in my opinion they could had overcome it if their sound grew in suitable direction. Fancy was perfect combination of cute and mature and still had Twice feel but after that their sound started to deviate too much and just lacked their unique factor.
There is something else that influenced their image. The constant problems around the group brought a lot of negativity around them. Physical traumas, mental traumas, dating, vocal controversies, obvious mental and physical fatigue from their tight schedule, it all came at the same time and influenced negatively their image.
Other factors are:
1. They CB and then disappear from GP's eye for months without any social activity
2. The company failed to grow their image as a group and individually. People get used to things and get bored from them easily. Div3 should have showed different sided of the members and the group
3. Limited vocal abilities and growth in that aspect. This is probably the thing that had hurt their image the most so far.
This mainly refers to the 6 sub-vocalists and by limited I meant by using half air, half sound they won't be able to grow past some point. Give the girls proper vocal tracherp
4. Div3's constant milking of the group and reciprocally lack of investment
