Yea a more honest assessment would be
- JYP continue to invest substantial money in the group and the members continue to have top tier vocal and dance performances.
- Relative popularity has decreased a bit since their peak, but they remain one of the top girl groups. Their most recent album sold 1.3m copies, for some perspective there are groups who sell 250k albums, 100k albums, 50k albums, 20k albums, 5k albums, etc with releases.
- I feel like they are still in a position where all it would take is JYP picking a title track that really resonates with the public for them to have a sudden super successful comeback run where they top the charts and win a lot of music shows. This is the one area where I would say the other big companies are dong a better job at picking songs than them at the moment.
