A good leader definitely benefits the group which in return benefits the members including the leader.

Because the Americans would probably think they are selling some sort of dessert instead of a group performing.

Not sure who is who but they definitely do have accent.

I noticed girls with Chae's type of tattoos are usually weird. They are not really unique but they try to be different for the sake of being different.

For some, it's because unless you sell a lot of albums, barely charting a couple songs is not profitable for the company.

Didn't know much about the man before but from what I read so far from other people, he is respected in Korea because he is a gold Olympian with no controversy. He was already popular before but popularity skyrocketed even more after Physical 100. From the shows he's on, he seems humble and has a great personality.
Most important is if he is a good person and if he treats Jihyo well and vise versa. As long as they are happy.

I always find funny the disregard to music success, we're in the music industry. Gonna try to make some points but this is just my opinion after all.
For me it's digital sales, because it's the legacy the artist leave. Yes in the short run money is always the most important thing, but in the long run the success of the music is always what people remember the most. If Sistar are remembered as legends and no one ever talks anymore about for example U-Kiss or even groups that were considered pretty big 10 years ago like Infinite, is because their music didn't leave a big relevant impact unlike Sistar's. I'm pretty sure Sistar's members are really proud of themselves when they see summer coming and all their songs rise on the charts and see people playing them every year. Also, if you are a digital monster you will for sure be wealthy enough and have decent numbers in other aspects too, you might not be as rich as other groups that can tour more but I'd personally prefer it. It depends on what people value more or what you consider to be "succesful"
For people that only care about money, I have no idea why they put touring above CFs and public recognition. I don't have the exact numbers but touring only applies to the groups while they're active as groups, the public recognition change the artist' whole career. If Jennie, to put an example, is going to be a wealthy person for all her life, is not because of the tours she has done with BP but because of the popularity she got and the brand deals she has and she's going to have for years even after BP disbands. Touring might make more money now (And I'm not sure about this because when you see some reports idols make a crazy amount of money with other projects), but if you care about the ARTIST the popularity of the artists, as a person, and not the group, will always be more important because the person will continue there, the group might not.
Not exactly the point of the topic but related with the point above and regarding idols' lifes, sometimes I have the feeling that fandoms act like if they're the CEO of a company instead of actual fans. The one that benefit the most out of the groups' success is always the company. We've seen how members of insanely popular groups had to look for solo projects after the groups are not active anymore. For example Yoona and Hyoyeon were both in SNSD and obviously toured together but if we could compare now their bank accounts... Well I don't think I need to explain it lol. I understand people are proud that their favs can make huge tours and indeed it's going to help them a lot but I think we don't have the proper perspective to analyze all this, I'm not sure if that is going to make a really big impact on idols' life.
Edit: I really think many people voting for touring just vote because it's what their favs are currently doing lol.
Digital success is probably one of the worst if you can only choose one. Digital for the most part has a short life for a group. It is driven by the public and the public is fickle as f. Like Sistar, once they started to lose it, they have absolutely nothing else. No fans, no concert, no touring, no future. I doubt Starship even cared that they disbanded at that time. Groups that depend only on digital will for the most part disband the soonest once they start to lose it. Groups that can do touring will probably last the longest.

I would love a Hawaiian burger right now.

I've noticed he did mostly the older generations. Did he stop composing for other groups other than his own?

Many ppl are confused between Momo and Chaeyoung but imo, TWICE need a main dancer more than main rapper. Chaeyoung's strong points are her songwriting credits but Momo wrote the most popular TWICE and MiSaMo bsides, Love Foolish and Funny Valentine. Chaeyoung has more credits but Momo's songs tend to do better.
Tzuyu and Dahyun were among the most popular members during 2015-18 but nosedived in popularity in recent years esp Dahyun. She can still regain her popularity in Korea if JYPE lets her promote in variety shows again but I don't see it happening until they are on tour which will go on till like July
and by then, Jennie and other 4th gen idols like Yujin and Karina would have established themselves in variety shows so its unlikely Dahyun will get offers from popular PDs.Imo, Jeongyeon and Mina are the only dispensable members in TWICE. Jeongyeon was only there for vocals but she doesn't get any lines and Mina doesn't stand out in anything.
lol you give waaay too much credit for lyrics. Twice Bsides are more popular oversea and do you really think these people who doesn't even understand Korean to care about the lyrics of these songs? Tbh, the only one I give credit for songwriting is Jihyo who contributed in composing some decent melodies and not just lyrics.

lol, i just noticed i put attached instead of attacked.

She definitely viciously attacked Jihyo's tatas.
