I always feel with JYP that I'm in a re-education camp, but that's probably because I'm not a teenager. So, I think it's good for the girls to hear the speech if for no other reason than to know he's really serious about attitude and he will bounce anyone that doesn't fit the company. When he was younger he didn't have any of those values he talks about, so there's a feeling that he's passing on things he's learned since then. Heartbeat is a 2PM song and it's my favorite performance from this entire series, with Swing Baby second. Also it's the only time you'll see them perform a song like that. When they became NiziU it's all cute, all the time.

2021-09-27 17:57:25 +0000 UTCI feel like JYPe and their artists really excel at being straightforward with their audiences, but the Nizi True Honest Humble speech is one of the few things that stick out to me as staged and make me go π€¨ We saw this kind of speech in Sixteen, we saw it in Stray Kids. Even if the Nizi trainees (big Twice fans) never saw Sixteen, it still comes up periodically in Twice interviews or other content. And if you had 3 keyword maxims that you wanted your company to live by, that doesn't work when you keep them to yourself. Really seems like the kind of thing you'd want to let your trainees know about during orientation so that they can reflect and improve, not keep it secret until a little before a possible debut. And the new building at least is full of inspirational affirmations written on the walls. Pretty sure they had room for those 3 words a few places. So to make Mako and Yuna, who have been there for years, pretend like this is news to them, again π€¨ Totally possible the Sixteen members had me fooled, but some of them seemed pretty regretful and shook after the speech, like this was new information and they hadn't been living their lives the way that they could be proudest of them so far. I get that narratively JYP's speech fits well into the show the way they did it, and new viewers may not have seen Sixteen or Stray Kids. And having JYP speak to the trainees in person in Japanese would make more of an impact than the inspirational wall decorations you pass by every day, but still. He could have started the speech with 'I know you've heard something like this before, but I want you to listen to me with an open mind as if this is the first time..' Maybe he did and but it ended up on the cutting room floor? Idk, if so, my 2 cents, they should've left it in. Filming the girls as if this is all new information slightly undermines the whole Honesty maxim at the same time that he's pitching it.
