As one of the largest and most well-known K-pop companies, JYP Entertainment hosts a variety of K-pop legends. From TWICE, to ITZY, to Stray Kids, and more - JYP has created a long legacy of success in the K-pop industry.
However, the latest topic of discussion among netizens is whether JYP's success is actually on the decline lately. A recent post on a popular discussion forum has gone viral, questioning why JYP artists' songs have not charted well this year. Despite having several notable recent comebacks from JYP artists, such as ITZY's 'Girls Will Be Girls' and NMIXX's 'Know About Me,' netizens are commenting that this year's JYP releases have not charted well domestically. In particular, netizens say that it is rare for a JYP artist's song to break into the top 100 on Melon these days.
"Other companies' songs consistently chart in the top 100 even as time passes. But JYP artists' songs can't even enter the top 100 in the first place.."
"To be honest, songs from JYP artists don't really sound like modern songs. They sound a bit old-fashioned..."
"There's something really questionable going on here. ITZY has popular idols like Yeji, Ryujin, and Yuna.. Then NMIXX also has members like Sullyoon and Haewon, so they should be much more popular than they are now. But the songs still aren't charting well, so it seems like the music itself is the biggest problem"
"The music is great, but the company isn't very good at promotion"
"The last really popular song from JYP was Nayeon's 'POP'. Even all the songs from Day6 now are old-fashioned songs, it's like they're going backwards"
"It's because the music isn't that great. SM is a bit old-fashioned, but even when they release bad songs, fans still support them. YG's songs that they've released over the years are all subpar, but fans of YG artists still support them regardless. Then HYBE's music quality is consistently good. JYP just needs to change producers"
"Their stocks are a mess too, huh.."
"Even when it comes to my favorite JYP idols, I just don't want to listen to their songs lately. And meanwhile, what's the CEO doing? Where is the CEO, who gets upset when one of his groups gets more attention than him at Waterbomb? ㅋㅋ"
"JYP doesn't have many company fans, so it feels like we're always doing badly on the charts"
"When comparing what used to be the 'Big 3' companies, it's clear that all three lost their touch a long time ago. But SM created a solid fanbase by brainwashing people into thinking them putting out bad music was okay. YG focused all their efforts on trying to do well overseas. Meanwhile, JYP is really neither here nor there"
"If you judge them only by looking at domestic charts, it looks pretty bad. Then again, if you consider international charts as well, something really isn't right.."
"Even TWICE was at least at #98 on the chart yesterday, but had already dropped off it completely by today..."
"I like TWICE, but it seems like they're always behind the trend a little bit with every comeback. Watching their latest one, the song and outfits are too old-fashioned"
"JYP songs these days are strange. They put out music that doesn't even sound like real songs in the first place..."
"All the JYP groups' songs are so weird. Regardless of male or female groups.. Now they all have just become groups that the public doesn't listen to anymore. TWICE, ITZY, NMIXX, all of them"
"Stray Kids seems to be the only JYP group that still does well these days"
