5. [+25, -7] I guess they don't work out like Korean idols do

6. [+19, -3] The whole reason the Japanese kids on 'Produce 48' are putting everything on the line to debut in Korea is exactly because of this. If you don't make it in Japan, you're forced to go into gravia or AV. They have to be successful or they'll be going back to strip down for photos and videos. Twice's Japanese members are pretty and talented enough to debut in Japan but they chose Korea because in Japan, bikini pictorials are just aegyo for their idols. They need to keep stripping down in order to increase the longevity of their careers.
