Fans of TWICE are once again expressing their frustration with JYP Entertainment after the company failed to include Tzuyu in yet another group graphic.
TWICE will soon release their fifth Japanese full album!
The company recently posted the usual graphic that showcases all the different album versions and inclusions that will be released by the company. However, Tzuyu was completely missing from the picture, and her solo album version was also not included.
Instead of Tzuyu’s version, the graphic included Mina twice.
The omission has sparked outrage among fans, who feel this is not just an oversight but a deliberate slight against Tzuyu.
It’s unacceptable to see that #TZUYU has been excluded again! 💔 TWICE are nine and have been with your company for YEARS. We no longer accept these pathetic mistakes.#BRINGTZUYUBACK @JYPETWICE @JYPETWICE_JAPAN@jypnation @TWICE_SUPPORTER pic.twitter.com/45LC8X3dq0

The repeated exclusion of Tzuyu in promotional materials has led fans to believe that this is more than just a mistake. Many are convinced that it is a targeted attempt to undermine her presence within the group.
The graphic designer in jype should be fired how could he make the same mistake again it’s unacceptable and this’s an obvious disrespect towards tzuyu she’s a member of twice they want to erase her from everything.#BRINGTZUYUBACK pic.twitter.com/p6kYzSEMsF

Earlier this year, a veteran celebrity and friend of Tzuyu’s mother — Matilda Tao — publicly discussed the idol’s alleged mistreatment by JYP Entertainment.
“Out of the nine members, do you know how Tzuyu ranks in terms of Instagram followers? Tzuyu has 13.22 million Instagram followers. How would you arrange their activities, like releasing a solo album, if you were their boss? [Other host: ‘Of course, you would give more jobs to the ones ranked higher.’] Right?
According to fans, she’s not currently an ambassador of any brand. She ranks last in the group. After 2021, she’s never shot a magazine cover by herself. She’s also in the bottom 3 regarding the length of solo parts in group songs since their debut. This does not match up with her popularity.”

She claimed that the company has sidelined and suppressed Tzuyu, also mentioning the complicated circumstances surrounding TWICE’s contract renewals in 2022.
“Why is Tzuyu being treated like this? Why?”
