7 Reasons Why I Believe TXT And ITZY Are Connected

In This Article:

Two mega rookie groups have just debuted in the K-Pop world and I am already coming up with theories that their universes are connected. While they might not actually be related, I found some interesting similarities between the two groups.

1. Debut times

Both of these groups debuted at the beginning of 2019. ITZY debuted under JYP Entertainment on February 12 and TXT debuted under Big Hit Entertainment on March 4. It seems like they are apart of and will be heading the new generation of K-Pop.

2. First wins

TXT got their first win on "The Show," a weekly music show run by SBS MTV. With their song "Crown," they snagged this win only eight days after their debut! And ITZY got their first win on "M Countdown" with their song "Dalla Dalla" only nine days after their debut.

3. Crown symbolism

Alright, now for the real spooky stuff. TXT's debut song is called "Crown." And at the end of ITZY's music video for "Dalla Dalla," they raise their arms and place their hands on their heads to look like crowns.

4. Theme of debut songs

Both groups have debut songs with the theme of self-love and acceptance.

The Korean title of "Crown" translates to "The Day Horns Grew Out of My Head," and is about how a boy starts to see his horns as a crown. The translated lyrics from "Crown" include:

"There's a horn rising up on my head, but I love it. You become my crown."

"Dalla Dalla" is about being different and unique and not caring about what other people say. Some lyrics from "Dalla Dalla" are:

"Don't measure me by your standards alone. I love being myself, I'm nobody else."

"I love myself, something's different about me."

"Don't care what people say, I know myself."

5. Opposite concept of their brother/sister group

Both groups might owe a lot of their success to the reputation that their senior groups have established for their companies. TXT are known as the little brothers of BTS and ITZY are the little sisters of TWICE.

In contrast to their seniors, TXT offers a young, fresh and innocent vibe. And ITZY presents a powerful girl-crush concept. By setting themselves apart, they eliminated the risk of being criticized for being too similar to their company's other groups.

6. Number of members

This one is simple, but both groups do have five members each.

7. Big Hit/JYP partnership

The CEOs of Big Hit Entertainment and JYP Entertainment are known to be good friends. The two companies even had a joint management contract over the boy group 2AM. Since the two companies have had ties in the past, it wouldn't be a surprise if they teamed up to prompt fans to come up with conspiracy theories.

My theory is that these two CEOs got together to plot the most successful rookie groups of 2019. And judging by the groups' accomplishments, they may have succeeded. We'll just have to wait and see what else the companies have planned for these groups.

Whether you're commuting or dorming, your first year of college is a huge adjustment. The transition from living with parents to being on my own was an experience I couldn't have even imagined- both a good and a bad thing. Here's a personal archive of a few of the things I learned after going away for the first time.

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

As an English Major in college, I have a lot of writing and especially creative writing pieces that I work on throughout the semester and sometimes, I'll find it hard to get the motivation to type a few pages and the thought process that goes behind it. These are eleven thoughts that I have as a writer while writing my stories.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.

For many undergraduates across the nation, the home stretch has begun. Only one more semester remains in our undergraduate career. Oh, the places we will go! For the majority of college seniors, this is simultaneously the best and worst year out of the past four and here’s why.

1. The classes you are taking are actually difficult.

A schedule full of easy pottery throwing and film courses is merely a myth on the average campus. With all of those prerequisites for the upper-level courses and the never-ending battle you fight each year during registration for limited class seats, senior year brings with it the ability to register for the final courses you need to fulfill your major. Yet, these are not the easy entry level courses. These are the comprehensive, end of major, capstone courses designed to apply the knowledge from all your previous courses, usually in the form of an extensive research paper or engaged learning project. The upside is you actually probably really enjoy these classes but alas there is no room for slackers here.
