TWICE人気と「プロデュース４８」
TWICE has won another trophy with "Dance The Night Away".
On the 22nd broadcast of SBS's Inkigayo, TWICE took 1st place with the song, enjoying the joy of winning 5 music show titles after their comeback.
TWICE said, "We're grateful to ONCE for coming out despite the heat for 2 weeks. Thank you to our seniors for the wonderful stage. We learned a lot while watching."
Also, on this day's broadcast, VI (BIGBANG), GFRIEND, MAMAMOO, Chungha, Triple H, SEVENTEEN and others performed their comeback stages one after another, making it the biggest comeback rush in history.
V.I performed on stage with WINNER's MINO in "1, 2, 3!" and delivered an impressive performance. In his first solo comeback in a long time, V.I succeeded in creating a lively and fun stage.
GFRIEND presented a refreshing stage with their new song "Sunny Summer," which has a bright melody perfect for summer and an atmosphere unique to the group. MAMAMOO fully demonstrated their natural charisma with their passionate new song "Egotistic."
Furthermore, SEVENTEEN, who are currently popular, presented a refined and bright performance with their new song "Oh My!", maximizing their usual refreshing feeling. With a stage that was refreshing to watch, they left an impression of being "a group you can trust."
Other performers included Apink, Kyungri (NINE MUSES), BLACKPINK, gugudan's unit SEMINA, ONF, Golden Child, ELRIS, MYTEEN, and fromis_9.

TWICE's natural comeback shows their strength as usual. It's a given that they'll be number one when they make a comeback on the domestic stage, so the others have no choice but to leave that spot open. That's the kind of music stage it is.
Since BLACKPINK's comeback, the girl craze seems to have gotten even bigger.
(DDU-DU DDU-DU)' M/V achieved 200 million views in just one month after it was released on YouTube. I was stunned to see a comment that said BLACKPINK is the sixth most popular in Korea, despite their incredible popularity.
I don't think idol popularity in Korea has expanded that much. Even if it has increased, it's only a small increase compared to the overall figure.
Even so, there are reasons why BLACKPINK seems to be ranked sixth.
If that is the case, BLACKPINK may have become more popular with foreigners.
It seems that the popularity of K-pop girls has started to spread worldwide.
The reason why TWICE's popularity in Korea is stable may be due to the popularity of "Produce 48".
"Produce 48" didn't feel like a big start. However, it seems to be gradually gaining popularity. I have started watching those videos recently, and I am still amazed by the high level of the performances.
The level of a pop stage is a matter of the impression that the person performing it has, and I don't think it's possible for the level to decline year by year.
In the "Produce 48" video, there happened to be a stage performance of "Mercuri". It was good enough to be a professional stage performance as it was.
Come to think of it, TWICE's popularity also started to gain momentum around the time that the popularity of girls started to grow with "Produce 101".
It's possible that "Produce 48" is boosting TWICE's popularity.
