What do you mean by bring you this far? They are still famous with a dedicated fanbase.
If you want to talk every other chart
More and More - Peaked at 4 on Gaon, 2 on Kpop Hot 100
ICSM - Peaked at 8 on Gaon, 5 on Kpop Hot 100
Alcohol Free - 6 on Gaon, 7 on Hot 100
Pop - Number 1 on Gaon
I Can't Stop Me entered relatively low but also stayed on Melon for like 23 weeks. Twice and Blackpink are the two most streamed girl groups in Kpop on spotify. In fact at the start of this year, Twice were the number one most streamed kpop girl group in January.
From the way you are trying to talk about Twice you'd think they hadn't been in the top 10 on any korean chart for years. They were the highest selling girl group of the entire 2021 calendar also. Their sales are incredibly strong and growing with each album.
Twice have had a SLIGHT decline in e.g. Melon charting since they changed their sound and look, which is what happens when a group brands on a young leaning concept and grows up. Everything since What is Love has been part of that SLIGHT decline in that specific charting metric. But to counter that, Twice have consistently sold more albums with every single comeback (therefore their international base is growing) and Nayeon went into the top 2 of basically every major charting metric mentioned.

Twice is doing fine. Since 2021 people are desperate to label Twice as flops or done for as if they’re not selling out stadiums and still getting brand deals. This narrative is about as true as the 'Twice are definitely not going to renew' narrative that was pushed by people who simply don't like the group for years or don't keep up with them.

Does IVE have a cheer up and TT? I can recall EVERY single idol was doing shyshyshy and the TT gesture.

And as usual JYP once again will fumble the bag with another top tier visual they have. Sully has so much potential to be a IT girl from her looks alone. She was carrying NMIXX like how Tzu did Twice in the beginning of their career. There was so much buzz around her looks only (she cans sing though but we know how the industry works).

Let's not kid ourselves that they have no international ambitions.
Yes, they do. In one member’s story, she falls in love with an African American boy while another member falls for a masked dancer, who is later revealed to be probably gender fluid or transgender or non-binary. The SEAs (with hanni) & most of all pedos thanks to MJH.
All this representation isn't for SK since South Korean society still has conservative opinions regarding sex and gender. This is all towards gaining a large international fanbase.

K-pop is image heavy they are going to put out a response that is image friendly to the public. The artist of the song is only singing the song. They did not actually produce the song lyrics and with an added assumptions they are not included in the production process at all.
Cookie could mean either definitions. With the context of the lyric only sure it could mean what they girls said it means. Yet, when you add in the fact MHJ has weird behaviors towards underage idols the meaning of the lyrics get interpreted as something else with a hidden meaning. I just want MHJ out and away from the girls. It's bad enough the youngest member for some reason is at her home when she has weird as pictures of underage kids on her wall.

But... tldr...
Dating bans and fans poor reactions to their idols having real relationships probably leads to male idols using sex workers for their needs.
Nearly all men with status and money use high end escorts. Even when it's not a dating ban in place nor poor reactions.

The worse part is considering the long hours these kids are in school and work. Imagine being stuck with your bullies for that long.

I knew that someone will call me Israel fan or something. Bruh, I even turned down a vacation to Israel due to the conflict but it’s easy to paint someone as the bad guy instead of trying to understand complex problems. And do you know that this was filmed in that time? Do you know that he was monitoring the conflict? I know that you are trying to project a conflict and problem on someone based on a biased assumption due to judgment sourced from a cultural conflict instead of trying to direct that anger towards the real problems: the government of Israel.
And yes, there are a lot of reasons to travel to a certain country. Every country - even the worst country of this world - have cultural assets that could be centuries old. There are so many countries that I would want to see but I can’t due to their political views and systems. It still doesn’t change the fact that I want to see them
I swear not the common refute of: Oh well X also is like this -
For women I'm usually drawn to the member which a chic atmosphere and usually has an RBF face.
For men it's usually the members who are openly sweet, laugh a lot, and help lift the group's mood.

Exactly how do u blame a black woman for saying the n word in her song..???
I honestly dislike the counterargument, “Oh well black people add/say it why can't they.” So now we really are going to act as if connotations don't exist and certain words BASED on who is saying it influences if it's perceived negative, neutral or positive?

GENETIC FALLACY
is when you judge something as either good or bad on the basis of where it comes from, or from whom it came.
This fallacy avoids the argument by shifting focus onto something's or someone's origins. It's similar to an ad hominem fallacy in that it leverages existing negative perceptions to make someone's argument look bad, without actually presenting a case for why the argument itself lacks merit.
The origin of the person is relevant to the evaluation of someone's argument. Especially about someone else culture and what they deem offensive if we are talking about CA.
