TWICE is still maintaining an active lifestyle, promoting 1-2 times a year and also running a world tour. But reputation is no longer what it used to be. From the top 3rd generation group, succeeding SNSD in the title “national girlgroup”, TWICE is facing a crisis of achievement when their music products fail to create attraction and are “invisible” on the charts.
Jihyo – MV Killin’ Me Good
In August 2023, Jihyo was also given a solo debut by JYP with a mini album Zone and the title song Killin’ Me Good. Contrary to expectations, the debut promotion of the leader of TWICE did not create an explosive effect. The song was considered weak and did not highlight Jihyo’s vocal strengths. Killin’ Me Good “sinking” amid the comeback storm of junior groups. As the second member of TWICE to separate, Jihyo could not continue the performance Nayeon set before.
Jihyo faced many malicious comments because she once again revealed her dating news
