Don?t get me wrong, TWICE is probably the second largest K-pop act behind BTS, but the biggest problem with K-pop that I have always had is two things. One was that K-pop was always filling a void in the pop mainstream during the mid-to-late 2010s and early 2020s while pop was desperately finding a new sound. Therefore, it always sounded like an Americanized version of what more classic K-pop sounded like. Since the advent and evolution of the last year of gen-z pop music, K-pop seems to be dying faster and faster and this new EP from the group continues to show that dying of ideas. Secondly, K-pop always had a sound problem in that everyone all sounded the same and TWICE was never different. This new EP sounds like everything else they and those copying them have done. I wish K-pop would go through a revolution of its sound because they are still trying to knock at the same door they have been the last 10-plus years.
