The situation
JIHYO of TWICE participated in the song "Follow Me," a global anthem for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, alongside an international lineup. The song's music video, however, sparked heated debate due to its heavy use of AI-generated visuals. Meanwhile, JIHYO also shared that TWICE will be taking a break for the rest of the year after concluding their THIS IS FOR World Tour.

What the internet did with it

  • — "song is 10/10 but the AI MV is horrible asf" - a sentiment echoed by many fans who praised JIHYO's vocals but criticized the music video's reliance on AI.
  • Fans on X pointed out that the song is not an official FIFA anthem, but rather a project by RedOne, which might have contributed to the lackluster music video production.
  • Some fans questioned the changing attitudes toward AI in music videos, with one post asking, "I thought oncels condemned the use of AI in music videos, what happened?"

Thank God bro😭 they've been releasing comebacks non stop since like their literal debut. Have they ever had a proper break?/genq

As far as I know none at all! Maybe Mina and Jeongyeon when they went on hiatus but I would not really count it… They definitely deserve it though after working 11 straight years nonstop! Also crazy to think that this will be the first ever year Twice does not have a comeback since their debut😳

Yeah, I wouldn't consider any of their long-term or short-term hiatuses as true vacations. I recall Jihyo, at one point, saying that they only had a handful of true days off in a year. Less than a week or something like that. I hope they get to do whatever makes them happy. Whether that's a hike, going to the beach, or maybe it's just to veg out at home - hopefully they get to do it before jumping back into brand deal promotions, variety shows, acting, etc.

Wait that's actually crazy bro💔 like working such a demanding job for 11 years straight without a genuine vacation is very deserving of respect.

Even Mina and Jeongyeon participated in comebacks so yeah, this is really the first time they’re actually gonna be gone in their career
u/BlueThePineapple
They have a yearly 2 week off in January.
