ITZY Discussion: OT4vsOT5

[jangshinz]

After Lia announced her hiatus, I felt that JYP planned to release an album without her to see how marketable ITZY as a four member group was. The album was pretty well received by the netizens, and it allowed members like Chaeryeong and Ryujin to improve in their vocals. Let's look at the pros and cons of OT4.

Pros:
- ITZY members have to improve their vocals to replace the vocals of Lia
- they can do more hard dance choreographies
- they can do different concepts
- they can sing higher without lia straining (she's built as an RNB singer)

Cons:
- people may compare them to blackpink and other popular four member groups
- people will hate on members after Lia leaves
- Lia may face hate for leaving the group
- ITZY might disband

Positions OT5:
Yeji: Leader, Main Dancer, Lead Vocalist, Sub Rapper
Lia: Main Vocalist, Sub Rapper
Ryujin: Main Rapper, Main Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Center, Face of the Group
Chaeryeong: Main Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Sub Rapper
Yuna: Lead Rapper, Lead Dancer, Visual, Maknae

Positions OT5 (imo)
Yeji: Leader, Main Dancer, Main Vocalist, Sub Rapper
Ryujin: Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Sub Vocalist, Center
Chaeryeong: Main Vocalist, Main Dancer, Lead Rapper (in this album she rapped more than Yeji)
Yuna: Main Rapper, Lead Dancer, Lead Vocalist (fight with the wall), Visual, Maknae

What are your opinions?

OT5 JYP planned it that way for the group to be, it should stay like that. No regrets or further chances.
