It just dawned on me that what Twice really is right now is 11 different acts in one trench coat.
You’ve got the 9 members as a singular act with their own projects, ambitions, and goals. 4 of these members have become solo artists who potentially want more musical projects in the future and perhaps even things like solo concerts or even a tour. As the years go by, the other 5 members might want to do solo albums too. We also have one actress right now and a potential second one coming next year. Other members have also expressed interest in that. Then there’s the smatterings of youtube shows and endorsements.
You’ve also got MiSaMo as a sub-unit. So far, they have had one release a year since their debut plus a tour in Japan. They have also done OSTs in the past years. MiSaMo as a project goes on top the solo activities of the members.
Finally, you have Twice the group. As of now, there seems to be 2 non-negotiables: a Korean release and a Japanese release each year. They have also toured each year as well as various other group performances like award shows or festivals. Their tours can take more than a year for completion between each round. We also have stuff like Time to Twice and other promotional activities.
Listing all of that, I am frankly extremely amazed at the sheer efficiency and productivity of their division. They went from handling one act to eleven in just a few years. All the members have some sort solo activity now whether that be solo music, endorsements, acting, or hosting. Twice is also very much an active group and their activities seem to only grow larger in scale every year. STRIDE (the Twice division name) is obviously not perfect, but I gotta say, they seem to have done a really good job managing the girls so far.
