Earlier on, the popular girl group BLACKPINK under YG announced that it will release its new first official album on October 2, so many fans are also looking forward to the release of their latest work by Twice under JYP during this time. Because of this, K-POP fans can finally see the battle for the "first girl group of this generation".
Unfortunately, JYP’s latest schedule shows that Twice’s return time has perfectly avoided the direct collision between the two women’s teams. Although Twice also released their second official album in October, their return time is set at the end of this month. Therefore, fans have no chance to see the peak showdown between BLACKPINK and Twice.
In addition, the upcoming October 20th will be the fifth anniversary of Twice's debut. In order to give fans more surprises, JYP prepared a variety of interactive activities for netizens from the 5th to the 9th. Then through "Eyes opening week" Twice will also introduce to you various content related to the theme of the new album, and use this to add vitality to their upcoming new activities.
The official second album released this time is also Twice's new album released 5 months after "MORE & MORE" in the first half of the year. Since the previous mini album sales reached 560,000 copies, fans believe that this month's regular album will definitely break through the previous sales. But on the other hand, BLACKPINK's new album reservations exceeded 800,000 copies early, so whether Twice, who also released a regular album, can surpass them has become a big question mark.
If BLACKPINK's target market is Europe, America and Southeast Asia, then Twice has absolute popularity in Korea and Japan. One is to follow international standards, while the other is very pragmatic. Although JYP has not yet allowed Twice to enter the U.S. market, with its impressive performance in Japan in recent years, Twice has almost swept the awards of major year-end music awards in three years.
With the approaching commercial war at the end of the year, the two popular women's groups around the "now K-POP No. 1 women's group" Title competition will once again enter a heated stage. I believe that in the European and American music markets, BLACKPINK will have a higher popularity and popularity, but if only considering the Asian range, then the number of fans of Twice is very amazing. As a fan, which women's group are you more inclined to support? Welcome to express your own opinions in the comment area.
