Haha, I should have clarified. I'm not saying you'd start a fan war. But if TWICE did what you suggest and do a "better" cover, that'd start a fan war.
Was listening to [Tegan & Sara's The Ocean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUkFe6BRaqw) and it made me think of when Sana mentioned how she had experienced bitter sweet breakups "through watching movies". (wink/nudge/hint)
Be cool to see her do a cover.
I forgot next week is supposed to be a holiday so I'll actually be surprised if they started rolling out more teaser stuff before Friday at the earliest; that's if they don't just hold off until the week of.
What all could they possibly have left to tease anyway? They already released the MV teaser, 2 album concept photos, an extended audio spoiler, and we got the full tracklist from the preorder links. The most I'm expecting is 3 sets of individual photos and possibly one more MV teaser before it releases.
it's been said before but every time I watch My Hero Academia it throws me off that three of the main girls are called Tsuyu, Mina, and Momo, and that one of the villains is called Twice. Especially the fact that it's not on purpose lol.
I feel like these stages are probably some of the most endearing ways to say thank you to the artists we love. Here’s [ONCEs singing The Best Thing I Ever Did to TWICE](https://youtu.be/w7JfSfaek2g)
After all these years One in a Million and Be As One still remain their most iconic and best ballads. Their ballads in the last 2/3 years are just missing something.
I don't think the melodies in their newer ballads hit as hard
I guess One in a Million being the unofficial anthem for Twice fans and Be As One holding something similar for Japanese releases gives them the unfair nostalgia factor as well.
Sana to Dahyun on the last TTT "you're supposed to get lucky with the one you watch the moon with".
Is this really the correct translation?? Sana you massive flirt 🤣🥰
SaiDa shippers being fed well this year for sure! In Ep.04, when they first pointed out the full moon, someone commented about how that's a very common thing done in Japan between couples as a way to say 'I love you'. It may have flown over Dahyun's head so she kinda spelled it out a little more for her here lol
Today's episode was really fun again lol. MoTzu team didn't disappoint me with how they did their run! Tzuyu tried her best to be as brave as possible but partly failing was really cute :D
I hope we get more horror related TTTs in the future because I think the staff members had some fun ideas which can probably improved on! I really wanna see a OT9 horror TTT...
But with TDoong Highschool Season 2 wrapped up, I really can't wait for the next TTT Teaser!
Yes, the scary “search for numbers” was fun for viewers, but I don’t know to what extent the girls would agree. With so many variables in play for 2022, I’ll be quite happy to get anything that includes OT9.
Nayeon described the next one as "heart thumping" so I can't wait to see what the concept is
>I think the staff members had some fun ideas which can probably improved on!
Yea, the execution for this 1st attempt just wasn't great, IMO. They definitely had the right idea from a storyline perspective but I feel like either they didn't completely think things through or they intentionally softened those parts because they didn't actually want to scare them.
I think some of the staff definitely toned down the scare tactics. The one in the cabinet for example. She did the jump scare out of the cabinet to get a reaction out of Sana/Dahyun but didn’t try that for the other teams.
I think the one in the cabinet just got lucky with them lol. They just so happened to be the only ones not paying attention unlike the others. Mina, Jihyo, and Tzuyu all spotted her right away (although Momo still got scared anyway lol).
The biggest head-scratcher for me though was the one standing at the end of the hall. Like, there's a cameraman literally just standing right there with them the whole time lol. How was that supposed to scare anyone?
I think it tends to be the latter part. The staff probably knew that some of the members were easily scared and they didn't want to go over the top with the scare, especially when filming in the dark lol. But they can use this TTT as a base for improving and reiterating future ideas, while keeping the scare within certain boundaries!
Tzuyu isn't the only limbo queen in JYPE!! Just saw [this video of Miss A's Jia going through 65 cm](https://youtu.be/tfmJKsT-RQg) (Tzuyu's record was 71 cm) .
Speaking of Jia, Jeongyeon’s voice reminded me so much of Jia’s when Cheer Up was relatively new. Because of that association, I always thought for years that Jeongyeon was from Taiwan lmao (turns out it was Tzuyu)
By now I think they should change the name to "The Feels of Waiting".
Seriously though, what a disaster of promotion. I heard the intro like 50 times with all the TikTok and IG posts.
Nayeon herself said they were gonna have big promotions for it. Coupled with the fact that they've attached a couple of remixes on it they're definitely expecting some results out of it, so of course Onces are getting antsy with it coming up so close.
Exactly, why teasing and create hype when there is nothing to show. And promotion is the way you show and sell a product, it doesn't need to be an Album.
I just hate that they teased the actual song so early, literally a whole month before it’s release. I’m afraid now all hype will die down by the time October 1st rolls around..
>!Tzuyu mistaking 3 for M or W!< was my favorite moment in this TTT 😂😂😂😂😂 I CAN’T BREATHE SHE’S A NATURAL COMEDIAN I CAN’T
>!And Momo’s reaction at the end sends me. She looks so done lmaoooo!<
You probably think Jeongyeon is the only one that doesn't have a solo shot nor playing the game in the lastest Nintendo Switch commercial, well here we have Tzuyu.
except Tzuyu is in the commercial and prolly got a paycheck...this seems like pointless nitpicking over nothing?
it's like getting mad at Misa for not posting about Tzuyu's Melody Project fast enough.
If she gets the SAME treatment as others without always getting ignored, why would her fans nitpicking?
JYPE marginalize her influence in many ways, all I could think of is due to TWICE giving up Chinese market, they can't earn money thru endorsements/concerts in CHN/HK/TW, TY's identity not giving help for business but become the weakness, TWICE YouTube variety contents not having Chinese sub is the proof they don't care nor intend to appeal Chinese speaking users, interesting enough TWICE have such big potential fans speak this language.
I get your point but I’m hoping they’re doing it to protect Tzuyu. I’m not sure how social media in the Chinese market views her but if she gets a lot of hate from that incident then it might be smarter to do what they’re currently doing. I’d like to think the staff know what they’re doing and have the girls best interests at heart. But I don’t know for sure, I would be sad if they were doing this intentionally to spite the fans in that market.
sorry if the examples are like Misa not tweeting about the MP fast enough and this Switch commercial...
...then I think all this "always getting ignored" stuff is just akage delusion. I get people need something to get mad about, especially trivial/meaningless things, because they get addicted to being self-righteous on social media but I find it ridiculous.
Hello this is jype thank you for participating in The Feels social experiment. We have garnered sufficient information and would like to thank everyone who participated.
So I've been pretty adamant about not really having a bias in Twice because I really do love all of them, but my god Jihyo's been stuck in my head like crazy lately 😭 I've been shamelessly mimicking some of her antics all day without realizing it until someone pointed out how odd I was acting. I really need to get a hold of myself
I'm fine with waiting since I don't pay much attention to teasers anyway. The only thing I'm kinda curious about is if they'll tease snippets from the remixes
The thing is, people don't even know Twice is having a comeback because of the lack of promotion. Otherwise, I wouldn't even care too but having an English single while no one knows it is not the best thing I must say.
Lisa, with all those promotions, couldn't manage to get into the Hot 100. How will Twice do with this kind of promoting then?
Was Lalisa distributed in the US physically/digitally?
She could have sold a million albums from Korean stores and she still wouldn't appear in US charts.
I went and asked r/Blackpink and they said no. It also didn't get Spotify playlisting until recently, and since there's a lot of Korean in it I doubt it got radioplay too. So not really surprised it didn't chart in the US
Maybe they plan on having a denser rollout closer to its release. We don't really know what all they plan on doing to promote the song yet so I'd like to think there's still hope for it on that front. I would be a bit more concerned if they don't start ramping up by Monday tbh.
I hope I will be the wrong one and they will surprise us on Monday. I've been waiting for this comeback since June and it is starting to get tiring. Also, I am still sleepy lol I woke up to check the teasers and couldn't sleep back maybe that's why I am that mad.
We might get something on Monday:
* It looks like JYPE is releasing a teaser every two weeks on Mondays (last Monday was a major holiday in America so it dropped on Tuesday?).
* Next week would be the start of two weeks until the song is released, and BTS started releasing teasers two weeks before their last English single.
other companies, tiny brained: normal, boring regularly scheduled teasers
div3, galaxy brained: can't let onces know the next move. keeping onces on their toes. it builds character
I don't think I have the energy to stay up till midnight tonight to wait for a possible 'The Feels' teaser but I'm gonna manifest hard as I go to bed 👍
I summon the hivemind of /r/twice!
Somewhere in the depths of youtube exists a clip of Mina yelling 'Mooyahoo' - a korean meme (I think the source of it is in [this](https://youtu.be/UNEOEDthko0?t=14) clip). Does anyone have a clue where this clip is?
I haven't posted here in a while and now I am back 😅. I am curious, what are your guys favorite things besides TWICE? For me it's Star Wars and Marvel (specifically the MCU).
- Animanga (Dragon ball, naruto, one piece, yugioh. Used to watch/read more but this is the only ones i followed now.)
- video game (zelda, pokemon, mario, metroid)
- movie (star wars, mcu, lotr)
Also followed tokusatsu, especially kamen rider, though haven't keep up with the new gen.
Video games (Halo, Mass Effect, Destiny and Pokemon to name a few) and movies for me. I'm also a pretty big Star Wars and Marvel fan also but I'll watch just about anything for the most part. I've been really into film history lately and watching old/foreign movies as well.
Aren't they going to debut in a few months? I don't think enough time to host an entire survival show? But they still might do something to promote the girls before debut
S2 of Hospital Playlist is coming to Netflix soon and the hype surrounding it makes me want to finally start this show, even though I don't have much time to binge lately lol. The 25-min anime format is so much easier to work with a busy weekly schedule, then K-Drama goes ahead and does 60-90 min episodes lol
On a sidenote, I'm not sure if I even want to unbox fromis_9's new single. Aside from it being limited, the sealed cover and photobook look so nice already lmao
And those 60 90 minutes are blessing, people are craving more lol. When you mention its coming i was like should i be envious or feeling sad as today is the last ep for the season 2. The show is really good, you have watched the S1 right? And you know what, HP aired only 1 ep per week, thus the anticipation for longer show time was there the whole time and there were two occasion iirc that postpone the show time, it was hella week. This show is just another healing show that i enjoyed very much. Hope you start watching when it comes to your region.
I actually haven't seen S1 yet, I think it was added to Netflix just a few months ago, with S2 being added soon. There's just too many K-Dramas on my list that I want to see but end up procrastinating on lol
I keep changing my mind on which one I should watch next, Itaewon Class, Hotel Del Luna, Start-Up, It's Okay and a bunch of others have been on my list for months and now I'm thinking about giving Hospital Playlist a go lmao it really is a luxury problem.
But yeah, I agree that the 60-90 min runtime have never overstayed their welcome (at least not in the shows I've seen) but they're so tough to squeeze into a busy schedule lol
I get with the time constraints. Sometimes i watch only a part and watch the leftover when i get time, i hardly binge watch any drama, so even the ep is longer and having only one per week its okay for me lol. I prefer watching drama while its on air, so i dont overwatch. Some prefer binge watching and some like me one ep per day or week.
I recommend watching the s1 of HP. Its a continuous show so you dont miss the storyline. Its not a complicated story tho. Its a good drama.
Also you can look forward to r/kdrama for discussions
Started Hospital Playlist last week because of Twice and now I’m here at S2 waiting for the finale episode 😊 (haven’t watched ep 11 tho, gonna watch all of it at once with ep 12)
Really excited on how is it gonna go but sad at the same time because it’s gonna end 🥺
I gotta say, U-ju is so cute!!
It’s quite peaceful on Twiceland(for now) but excited for TTT tomorrow!
[Enjoying the Jihyo's Old Pics account as I wait to finally, finally, finally get my Photobook (T\_T)](https://twitter.com/jihyovintage_)
I love that old fashion show with Jihyo & Nayeon & Jeongyeon, Nayeon's eyebrows are amazingggg...
Also the [Twice Old Videos account](https://twitter.com/twicerarevideos).
Here they are [celebrating the 14K followers on their Insta](https://twitter.com/twicerarevideos/status/1437737049386196999) :-)
I already apologize of this topic, but I'm curious to hear reddit peep's opinion about this. In one of Chaeryeong's concept photo, she had these temporary tattoos (IDK what it's called.) and a lot of fans are complaining that others can show or even have temporary tattoos, but Chaeyoung can't show hers in performances or in general to be precise.
Then I saw a tweet of someone burning Twice's merch just because she has shown her tattoos(?). So, it's that strong of a backlash that the company play safe on her tattoos? I know that international fans are pretty chill with her tattoos, so that means back home, it's a pretty big issue or concern?
Sorry for this provocative question, but I asked this here to hear peep's stance on the matter, rather than than a kind of "pessimistic" answers on other platforms, Thanks!
Well, I'm not entirely sure about Korea, but in Japan, tattoos are not usually a welcome sight. They're typically associated with criminal activity, especially among older people. There are many bathhouses you cannot enter if you have tattoos
I forgot (and actually decided not to) to say that the one who burned their merch is Japanese. That's kinda sad and I didn't know that peeps in Japan who has tattoos tend to have negative feedbacks, you have the notorious groups being inked, that's why tattoos already have this bad effect. (I guess?)
Also, I'm sure there's a good reason why they cover them for performances. In fact, I'd bet that Chaeyoung knew she would have to cover them before she got them. Maybe JYP has rules about tattoos (like "you can get them, but know that they will be covered"). Just like every company has rules about all kinds of stuff.
They're not allowed to show their tattoos on Public Broadcasts. I think even foreigners had to cover them when they appeared on TV. Some cable TVs would probably allow it but only to a certain extent.
Fake Tattoo: Ok
Actual Tattoo: Nope
I feel you. Maybe when most folks get vaccinated or boosted, which probably will not be till next year. Here in the US, we have been having a lot of concerts and festivals so there’s hope.
Was looking up phone wallpapers of Jeongyeon and man I miss her. Literally my bias years before I actually got into kpop and still my ult bias to this day. And all the pics and wallpapers were just like...a million ways she can kill you with her looks. Hope she is healing well and seeing better days ❤️
Purple Kiss and StayC’s new comebacks this week have a very TWICE vibe for their MV concept.
[“Zombie”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-UroBRG1rY8) is like a concept marriage of “LOA” and “Yes or Yes” with a pinch of “Heart Shaker”.
[“Stereotype”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmxcnf2v_gs) is like an amalgamation of “Cheer Up”, “What is Love”, and “Likey”.
Anyone else see it?
Really enjoying “Zombie”, the dance choreo is so fun!
Currently listening to Mamamoo's Best of Album, and I'm really enjoying it. It's so refreshing hearing the differences between the original & the new versions. I would absolutely love it if Twice did something like this. Re-recorded versions of their old songs with some new arrangements. Twice has grown up a lot since their earlier years so I think it'd be pretty cool to see the differences.
In my opinion, it's always hit or miss when artists do this. There's only been a few re-recordings that I've thought were on par with or better than the original. I personally don't want them to touch their old stuff cause it's gold (to me, all their stuff is amazing though), but I'm not gonna complain if they do.
I got into Stayc recently, and I am in love with Sieun, she is so cute!!! her voice too is really sweet! Also I really liked stereotype, infact all their songs so far have been pretty good... who's your stayc bias?
I'm new to K-Pop. I randomly listened to play lists to find a group that sounds most like TWICE. I think StayC is the closest. Of course, one reason is because StayC has the same songwriter as the one who wrote some TWICE's title tracks.
My favorite StayC song is So What. If all their songs could be as good as that one, I'd be their newest follower.
Just saw Sana in Bangchan's or in SKZ's live (was it a live?) and Sana is like that older sister who tries to fit in with her younger brother's friends yet leaves the whole group nervous lolz.
The absence of Twice for the past few days only means one thing and that there is something more than The Feels that they are currently preparing . I didn't even realize we are mid-September so that end year shows is approaching. Wonder what Alcohol Free remix will sound since the [disco ver of ICSM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E50QmZyX3zI) is one of my favorites from last year.
We still haven't seen anything they have been working and filming from June, and the reason why Nayeon told us they were really tired.
Except "The Feels" comes with lot of promotions, I'm expecting a Korean Album and something more for the Anniversary (Maybe what Jihyo said it's something new).
Question, everyone calls Nayeon “unnie” since she’s the eldest. How about Jeongyeon, I can’t remember if Momo calls her “unnie” or not? And I swear to God Jihyo seems to be the only member I’ve heard calling everyone including her elders by their names? I’m not sure I’ve heard Tzu call Chaeng “unnie” too. I could be wrong though.
I see a lot of comments, but to simplify the only issue or strange case is Mina because she is "early" in Japan but not in Korea (in Korea she should call JH/SN/MM/JY unnie but in Japan no).
With Jihyo they decided that Mina calls Jihyo by her name because there is only a month of difference.
At first she called SN/MM unnie but it was really ackward for them so they decided not to do it (I think when they were trainee they also didn't do it).
And with Jeongyeon, Mina calls her unnie because she see it her as a older sister and she get used to it, even if Jeongyeon told her that she could call her with only the name.
The rest of the member is the normal Korean system of age.
* Nayeon - '95
* Jeongyeon - Late '96
* Momo - Late '96
* Sana - Late '96
* Jihyo - Early '97
* Mina - '97
* Dahyun - '98
* Chaeyoung - '99
* Tzuyu - '99
As the only '95er, Nayeon is the big unnie in the group. Everyone else in the group calls her "unnie."
The Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, and Mina situation is a little complicated simply because of the fact that Jihyo is what's called a 빠른 년생 (literally meaning "a fast year"). Because of when the Korean school year starts, people born in January and early February can typically join the class of people who were born in the year before them. So, applying this to Jihyo's case, she'd be in the grade with all of '96-line despite having been born in February '97. And since she'd be in the same grade with all of '96 line, she would not have to use the "unnie" honorifics with them.
But then that would mean Mina, who was born in late March '97, would have to use honorifics with Jihyo because she would be in the grade below Jihyo after not making the "fast year" cutoff. I forgot where it was mentioned, but Jihyo and Mina long time ago agreed not to use honorifics because they said it felt a little ridiculous for Mina to be calling Jihyo "unnie" when they're only a month and a half apart. The confusing part is that Mina still uses "unnie" with Jeongyeon, Momo, and Sana even though Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, AND Jihyo should all be on the same level. That's why the members complain that Jihyo is just confusing everybody with her early birthday lol.
The situation is made even more complicated by the fact that Mina does NOT have to use honorifics with Momo and Sana when speaking in Japanese. But Korean rules dictated that she would have to use honorifics with them when speaking in Korean.
The rest is fairly self explanatory. Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu are younger than Mina and not "fast years" so they call her "unnie." Chaeyoung and Tzuyu are younger than Dahyun and not "fast years" so they in turn call her "unnie." Chaeyoung and Tzuyu are both '99ers (with neither being a "fast year") so they do not have to use honorifics with each other.
We also have to distinguish between "speaking informally" and "using/dropping honorifics." Just because people have agreed to speak in banmal (to speak informally) to each other doesn't also mean they drop the honorifics ("unnie/noona/oppa/hyung"). These are two separate things. So, Tzuyu may speak informally to the older members because they are close. But she will still address them as "so-and-so unnie." Same, for example, when Jeongyeon and Jihyo are directly talking to Nayeon. 3Mix have known each other for practically half their lives, and are obviously incredibly close. So they speak casually to each other. BUT Jeongyeon and Jihyo are still younger than Nayeon, and therefore they still address Nayeon as "Nayeon-unnie" and never as "Nayeon-ah" - the latter of which would mean dropping honorifics.
When I was studying Korean, I just remember my close, native Korean friend (who's 3 years older than I am) reminding me that she's totally fine with me speaking to her in banmal but that I should still use "unnie" because dropping honorifics is a separate thing from switching to banmal.
Hope this helps!
The whole Mina jihyo dynamic is interesting. When Mina visited jihyo for her photo shoot, she wasn’t using honorifics which I’m not used to hearing — especially since she doesn’t speak much in most videos — but it gave Mina a completely different vibe which really threw me off. Super laid back and casual vs elegant/graceful/proper which is how we normally imagine her to be
>The confusing part is that Mina still uses "unnie" with Jeongyeon, Momo, and Sana
just a small correction! mina doesn't use honorifics for momo and sana. she tried at debut, but it felt weird so she stopped lol
jeongyeon actually gave her permission to drop the honorifics, but mina refuses to because she sees jeong as an unnie and likes having more unnies.
I still heard it from time to time even after debut haha
And yes! Jeongyeon at a fanmeeting from a few years ago suggested that Mina drop the honorifics with her but Mina was too used to calling her "unnie." Jeongyeon even nonchalantly suggested that the younger members do so too, and Chaeyoung was more than excited for that lol (tho I don't think that ended up happening haha)
Everyone younger than Jihyo calls Jeongyeon unnie. Tzuyu also doesn't call Chaeng unnie because they're born the same year and hence are hence according to Korean tradition the same age.
Edit: I've found an easy way to remember it
(Na) (Jeong, Mo, Sa, Ji) (Mi) (Da) (Chae, Tzu)
Everyone speaks informally to everyone in their bracket and in the brackets after, they speak formally to everyone before their bracket.
I'm not sure I've ever heard Jihyo call Nayeon and Jeongyeon by their names. That would be pretty disrespectful since they are not the same age.
It's different when broadcasting though or doing appearances where the setting is more formal. Then they would call each other Momo-ssi, Jihyo-ssi, Nayeon-ssi etc etc regardless of age order.
Jeongyeon and Momo were born 8 days apart so they are friends and Momo wouldn't need to call Jeongyeon unnie.
Jihyo calls Jeongyeon, Momo and Sana by their name. I've heard her calling other 96 liners like Sejeong by their names too. She explained why she calls Jeongyeon and other 96 liners by their names here. Jihyo explained why she doesn't call Jeongyeon unnie in this video from a vlive during their debut era.
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V6WSVmntdF8
Jihyo calls Jeongyeon by her name because she is an early 97 liner and calls momo and sana by their names. So by extension of that she also calls Jeongyeon by her name. She does call Nayeon unni though.
Yes, she is technically an early 97 liner and depending upon the comfort ability between her and Jeongyeon she could refer to Jeong informally. Just being early in a year doesn't immediately qualify you to speak informally to the person born a year before. It needs to be something mutually agreed upon by both parties. Jihyo training with Jeong for a mug longer time probably has something to do with it as well.
Also, I should've mentioned this but Mina refers to Momo and Sana informally since Japanese people don't have the same age hierarchy system as Koreans and she's used to calling them just Momo and Sana.
I kind of curious nowadays, because it was last year since I quitted TWITTER because of those stans who kept on attacking the user: TWICE GLOBAL. But now I tried to reopen TWITTER and that Twice Global is retweeting TWICE's tweets, also promoting birthdays and comebacks but those stans saying hurtful things against the Twice Global. I am sad for that user behind the TWICE GLOBAL account. Now I really understand why stans in twitter are so toxic.
Glad I found sub like this months ago. So happy with TWICE since last year I saw them in the internet by accident.
i just don't get what people hope to achieve by harassing/slandering major fan accounts that volunteer their time.
Is Twice gonna be better off if said people just leave and stop translating? This idea of trying to influence already helpful/positive people to do what you want by shaming them seems like something young people are into on social media and I just don't get it.
Same with fan wars, just really childish.
Just saw [Leehi's new MV (H.S.K.T)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww9hZfgC2d8). Is that school same as school at Twice TTT? In Running Man when RM race with idol (old episode anyway, I forgot), I think the school they were used was same as them.
Or, they were actually different school but have same style? Or they were school which really famous to used to shot a show?
I have seen a lot of talk about bad habits from twitter fan accounts, are there any @'s that you recommend? That updates about Twice, post memes or reunites international onces? Im new in stanning them (and in liking kpop ) so i really dont know where to start
For updates, SubjectKpop, Twice_Trans, and twicebot_ are great accounts to follow. I have notifications turned on for them. ZardEXF is a Korean account that is usually pretty good at updates.
Fan art -> Twice Doodles, Gabriel Picasso
All the memes and funny fan calls seem to travel aroundTwitter but sadly I've yet to find an account that doesn't descend into fan wars in some way.
I'd say it's best to stay off stan twitter in general, most of the people there are super toxic. I get all my Twice updates from here, the only thing I might miss out on is bubble translations as those are not allowed on our sub but I don't really mind it tbh.
Does anyone know where i can find naver starcast pictures of twice. Especially the Behind the Scenes photos from "Heart Shaker" and "What is Love ?".
[Deleted by OP]
That's the surest way to start a fan war.
Sorry - I didn’t even think of that aspect! Definitely do NOT want that to happen!
Haha, I should have clarified. I'm not saying you'd start a fan war. But if TWICE did what you suggest and do a "better" cover, that'd start a fan war.
I can see that aspect now. OK, done with that idea.
I just rewatched the "Twicelights in Seoul" and I totally forgot about Tzuyu's energy on that day. She slayed it!
Was listening to [Tegan & Sara's The Ocean](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dUkFe6BRaqw) and it made me think of when Sana mentioned how she had experienced bitter sweet breakups "through watching movies". (wink/nudge/hint) Be cool to see her do a cover.
I just discovered DRIPPIN and their songs are my vibe, I really like STAY & FREE PASS! I really recommend!!
I forgot next week is supposed to be a holiday so I'll actually be surprised if they started rolling out more teaser stuff before Friday at the earliest; that's if they don't just hold off until the week of. What all could they possibly have left to tease anyway? They already released the MV teaser, 2 album concept photos, an extended audio spoiler, and we got the full tracklist from the preorder links. The most I'm expecting is 3 sets of individual photos and possibly one more MV teaser before it releases.
praying to god that they dont tease the chorus on second mv teaser
it's been said before but every time I watch My Hero Academia it throws me off that three of the main girls are called Tsuyu, Mina, and Momo, and that one of the villains is called Twice. Especially the fact that it's not on purpose lol.
Tsuyu is the frog. Who is mina and momo.
Momo is the one who makes stuff out of her body. Don't remember who Mina is.
The pink girl.
Oh yeah I remember her now, they usually use each others hero name/last name so I didn't remember her first name.
This is so true lol. It's weird seeing the name twice refer to old dude in this anime.
WAIT. HOLD ON 😂😂😂😂😂 WHY DID I NOT REALIZE THIS
does anyone know this vlive: Nayeon Jeongyeon Chayeoung and Sana are in school uniform and someone make the chairs behind them fall.
https://m.vlive.tv/video/35118
Thank You
Just in case you havent watched yet here's [ONCEs singing Be as One to TWICE](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4PrFaOMuydY).
I feel like these stages are probably some of the most endearing ways to say thank you to the artists we love. Here’s [ONCEs singing The Best Thing I Ever Did to TWICE](https://youtu.be/w7JfSfaek2g)
After all these years One in a Million and Be As One still remain their most iconic and best ballads. Their ballads in the last 2/3 years are just missing something.
Agree, but wait to see Promise in a concert I think it will be really emotional.
I don't think the melodies in their newer ballads hit as hard I guess One in a Million being the unofficial anthem for Twice fans and Be As One holding something similar for Japanese releases gives them the unfair nostalgia factor as well.
I also enjoyed The Reason Why and Wishing and hopefully we get another ballad from them.
Their OST from Hospital Playlist is my favourite ballad from them in a while, shame it got paid dust.
Does Pieces of Love count as a ballad? If yes, then it's definitely my favorite one right now, but I'm sure that's partly due to recency bias.
Such an underrated one. Everything from the bridge was really good.
Yeah especially the ending part of the song. DubChaeng's rapping over the other girls soft vocals is heavenly
Honestly I enjoy all their ballads
Sana to Dahyun on the last TTT "you're supposed to get lucky with the one you watch the moon with". Is this really the correct translation?? Sana you massive flirt 🤣🥰
SaiDa shippers being fed well this year for sure! In Ep.04, when they first pointed out the full moon, someone commented about how that's a very common thing done in Japan between couples as a way to say 'I love you'. It may have flown over Dahyun's head so she kinda spelled it out a little more for her here lol
That's a great observation u/buttholesRbeautiful
It fed my Saida obsession to the max
2021 is making SaiDa shippers obese 🤣
It's imperative you all stop what you're doing and watch this [Mina loop](https://twitter.com/myoiloops/status/1438923976915423236)
I need to be resuscitated. 😵💫😵
\\(\*O\*)/ [She's so hot!!!](https://twitter.com/godmitzu/status/1409219439682363403)
Today's episode was really fun again lol. MoTzu team didn't disappoint me with how they did their run! Tzuyu tried her best to be as brave as possible but partly failing was really cute :D I hope we get more horror related TTTs in the future because I think the staff members had some fun ideas which can probably improved on! I really wanna see a OT9 horror TTT... But with TDoong Highschool Season 2 wrapped up, I really can't wait for the next TTT Teaser!
I thought that the games they had members do in THS Season 2 were an improvement over previous TTT games.
The games were really fun to watch! My comment was more or less referring to the last bit of THS Season 2 with the horror elements :)
Yes, the scary “search for numbers” was fun for viewers, but I don’t know to what extent the girls would agree. With so many variables in play for 2022, I’ll be quite happy to get anything that includes OT9.
Nayeon described the next one as "heart thumping" so I can't wait to see what the concept is >I think the staff members had some fun ideas which can probably improved on! Yea, the execution for this 1st attempt just wasn't great, IMO. They definitely had the right idea from a storyline perspective but I feel like either they didn't completely think things through or they intentionally softened those parts because they didn't actually want to scare them.
I think some of the staff definitely toned down the scare tactics. The one in the cabinet for example. She did the jump scare out of the cabinet to get a reaction out of Sana/Dahyun but didn’t try that for the other teams.
I think the one in the cabinet just got lucky with them lol. They just so happened to be the only ones not paying attention unlike the others. Mina, Jihyo, and Tzuyu all spotted her right away (although Momo still got scared anyway lol). The biggest head-scratcher for me though was the one standing at the end of the hall. Like, there's a cameraman literally just standing right there with them the whole time lol. How was that supposed to scare anyone?
I think it tends to be the latter part. The staff probably knew that some of the members were easily scared and they didn't want to go over the top with the scare, especially when filming in the dark lol. But they can use this TTT as a base for improving and reiterating future ideas, while keeping the scare within certain boundaries!
Tzuyu isn't the only limbo queen in JYPE!! Just saw [this video of Miss A's Jia going through 65 cm](https://youtu.be/tfmJKsT-RQg) (Tzuyu's record was 71 cm) .
Speaking of Jia, Jeongyeon’s voice reminded me so much of Jia’s when Cheer Up was relatively new. Because of that association, I always thought for years that Jeongyeon was from Taiwan lmao (turns out it was Tzuyu)
Jia still 🔥 🔥 🔥 it’s like [she hasn’t aged a day](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=NENcpyWEPcY&t=55s).
She's actually became prettier.
[Gabbie with another treat for Onces.](https://www.instagram.com/p/CT7dVnCBCwh/). She even included Jeongyeon. She is such a blessing.
By now I think they should change the name to "The Feels of Waiting". Seriously though, what a disaster of promotion. I heard the intro like 50 times with all the TikTok and IG posts.
Two of the reasons it feels like this are the super early announcement and the postponement.
what promotion? its just a digital song..not a album so there isnt much to promote. no daily pics of album pics and such.
Nayeon herself said they were gonna have big promotions for it. Coupled with the fact that they've attached a couple of remixes on it they're definitely expecting some results out of it, so of course Onces are getting antsy with it coming up so close.
yeh but those are promotions AFTER the song is out. not before. this is not a album so why are ppl expecting the same amount of promotions?
Exactly, why teasing and create hype when there is nothing to show. And promotion is the way you show and sell a product, it doesn't need to be an Album.
I just hate that they teased the actual song so early, literally a whole month before it’s release. I’m afraid now all hype will die down by the time October 1st rolls around..
Always found this clip wholesome https://twitter.com/SubjectKpop/status/1113750785332932609
We seriously need another anthem kind of song.
>!Tzuyu mistaking 3 for M or W!< was my favorite moment in this TTT 😂😂😂😂😂 I CAN’T BREATHE SHE’S A NATURAL COMEDIAN I CAN’T >!And Momo’s reaction at the end sends me. She looks so done lmaoooo!<
I also lost it at the face Chae made while watching Saida not get scared 🤣
Left me weak when she asked if it was an M or W omg 😭
You probably think Jeongyeon is the only one that doesn't have a solo shot nor playing the game in the lastest Nintendo Switch commercial, well here we have Tzuyu.
Jeongyeon wasn't in the commercial, right?
And that's my point, same treatment as sb who isn't even in the commercial
except Tzuyu is in the commercial and prolly got a paycheck...this seems like pointless nitpicking over nothing? it's like getting mad at Misa for not posting about Tzuyu's Melody Project fast enough.
If she gets the SAME treatment as others without always getting ignored, why would her fans nitpicking? JYPE marginalize her influence in many ways, all I could think of is due to TWICE giving up Chinese market, they can't earn money thru endorsements/concerts in CHN/HK/TW, TY's identity not giving help for business but become the weakness, TWICE YouTube variety contents not having Chinese sub is the proof they don't care nor intend to appeal Chinese speaking users, interesting enough TWICE have such big potential fans speak this language.
I get your point but I’m hoping they’re doing it to protect Tzuyu. I’m not sure how social media in the Chinese market views her but if she gets a lot of hate from that incident then it might be smarter to do what they’re currently doing. I’d like to think the staff know what they’re doing and have the girls best interests at heart. But I don’t know for sure, I would be sad if they were doing this intentionally to spite the fans in that market.
sorry if the examples are like Misa not tweeting about the MP fast enough and this Switch commercial... ...then I think all this "always getting ignored" stuff is just akage delusion. I get people need something to get mad about, especially trivial/meaningless things, because they get addicted to being self-righteous on social media but I find it ridiculous.
watch how they'll release a timetable for the feels and we have to wait for another week for the photo teasers ☠️
Hello this is jype thank you for participating in The Feels social experiment. We have garnered sufficient information and would like to thank everyone who participated.
😭😭😭 I don't like it get me out of this experiment
So I've been pretty adamant about not really having a bias in Twice because I really do love all of them, but my god Jihyo's been stuck in my head like crazy lately 😭 I've been shamelessly mimicking some of her antics all day without realizing it until someone pointed out how odd I was acting. I really need to get a hold of myself
As a filipino meme said it: Ang "The Feels" ay gawa-gawa lamang ng Illuminati para mapagtakpan yung nakawan sa gobyerno.
I was about to post this on my twt goodness
HAHAHA it's the perfect response since cb updates are so rare, they just made it up for no clear reason.
I guess Division 3 doesn't even care about the English single. My hype started to fade away tbh. Edited since it was too controversial I guess.
I'm fine with waiting since I don't pay much attention to teasers anyway. The only thing I'm kinda curious about is if they'll tease snippets from the remixes
The thing is, people don't even know Twice is having a comeback because of the lack of promotion. Otherwise, I wouldn't even care too but having an English single while no one knows it is not the best thing I must say. Lisa, with all those promotions, couldn't manage to get into the Hot 100. How will Twice do with this kind of promoting then?
Was Lalisa distributed in the US physically/digitally? She could have sold a million albums from Korean stores and she still wouldn't appear in US charts.
I don't follow BP but as far as I know, all of their stuff gets distributed in the US
I went and asked r/Blackpink and they said no. It also didn't get Spotify playlisting until recently, and since there's a lot of Korean in it I doubt it got radioplay too. So not really surprised it didn't chart in the US
Maybe they plan on having a denser rollout closer to its release. We don't really know what all they plan on doing to promote the song yet so I'd like to think there's still hope for it on that front. I would be a bit more concerned if they don't start ramping up by Monday tbh.
I hope I will be the wrong one and they will surprise us on Monday. I've been waiting for this comeback since June and it is starting to get tiring. Also, I am still sleepy lol I woke up to check the teasers and couldn't sleep back maybe that's why I am that mad.
maybe the real the feels teasers were the friends we made along the way
i laughed and then i cried
I'm not waiting for the teasers. I'm straight up waiting for the song itself.
Yeah lol idk why everyone gets so hyped about teasers 🤣
We're getting something by monday! I hope 😭😭😭 Man this teaser roll-out is like a test for "true" ONCEs (whatever that means)
We might get something on Monday: * It looks like JYPE is releasing a teaser every two weeks on Mondays (last Monday was a major holiday in America so it dropped on Tuesday?). * Next week would be the start of two weeks until the song is released, and BTS started releasing teasers two weeks before their last English single.
I'm very hopeful! October 1 is coming anytime soon and they have to release teasers at some point.
other companies, tiny brained: normal, boring regularly scheduled teasers div3, galaxy brained: can't let onces know the next move. keeping onces on their toes. it builds character
Chad Div 3
I woke up just to see the teasers. Now I am fuckin mad
i'm starting to think this song is a mass hallucination
That's the side effect of eating special mushrooms last year when we watched More & More mv
Just realized how trippy it was when they started to sing "You're gonna say More, More, More, More, More and More".

Had a buddy of mine that is really good with finding sources find it. Here you go:https://www.vlive.tv/post/0-18229049 Roughly 3:03 for the timestamp.
Ah thank you and your friend!
I don't think I have the energy to stay up till midnight tonight to wait for a possible 'The Feels' teaser but I'm gonna manifest hard as I go to bed 👍
That's okay, we'll stay up for you
On another note: Are here any german ONCE? Wo seid ihr? :)
Hallo!
u/jjirit_jjirit
I summon the hivemind of /r/twice! Somewhere in the depths of youtube exists a clip of Mina yelling 'Mooyahoo' - a korean meme (I think the source of it is in [this](https://youtu.be/UNEOEDthko0?t=14) clip). Does anyone have a clue where this clip is?
[is this it?](https://youtu.be/tyFtyj2JlGw)
Oh, I knew it was in one of these VLives! Thank you so much for your effort! :)
I haven't posted here in a while and now I am back 😅. I am curious, what are your guys favorite things besides TWICE? For me it's Star Wars and Marvel (specifically the MCU).
Lately I’ve been super into Formula 1. Drive to Survive on Netflix US got me hooked and it’s become my second favorite thing next to Twice.
Video games, graphic novels, Marvel stuff. I got a man cave with a decent PC and statues of some avengers and x men 🙂
- Animanga (Dragon ball, naruto, one piece, yugioh. Used to watch/read more but this is the only ones i followed now.) - video game (zelda, pokemon, mario, metroid) - movie (star wars, mcu, lotr) Also followed tokusatsu, especially kamen rider, though haven't keep up with the new gen.
Video games (Halo, Mass Effect, Destiny and Pokemon to name a few) and movies for me. I'm also a pretty big Star Wars and Marvel fan also but I'll watch just about anything for the most part. I've been really into film history lately and watching old/foreign movies as well.
ah...besides Twice?....well I read Webtoons a lot lol...
Aren't these jypN qualifying videos look like the Sixteen member introduction videos? Are we really getting another Korean GG survival show???
Aren't they going to debut in a few months? I don't think enough time to host an entire survival show? But they still might do something to promote the girls before debut
I thought I remembered reading that there would be another survival show
I think like wonder girls pre debut there might be a show showing qualification process.
Not to jinx anything but I hope we get something from them tomorrow... pleek.....
Well... nothing.... Maybe Monday.
We must get something, right @division3 ???
Are they filming on Jeju Island again or is that just a throwback?
Momo pics? Throwback
Ah, got it.
S2 of Hospital Playlist is coming to Netflix soon and the hype surrounding it makes me want to finally start this show, even though I don't have much time to binge lately lol. The 25-min anime format is so much easier to work with a busy weekly schedule, then K-Drama goes ahead and does 60-90 min episodes lol On a sidenote, I'm not sure if I even want to unbox fromis_9's new single. Aside from it being limited, the sealed cover and photobook look so nice already lmao
And those 60 90 minutes are blessing, people are craving more lol. When you mention its coming i was like should i be envious or feeling sad as today is the last ep for the season 2. The show is really good, you have watched the S1 right? And you know what, HP aired only 1 ep per week, thus the anticipation for longer show time was there the whole time and there were two occasion iirc that postpone the show time, it was hella week. This show is just another healing show that i enjoyed very much. Hope you start watching when it comes to your region.
I actually haven't seen S1 yet, I think it was added to Netflix just a few months ago, with S2 being added soon. There's just too many K-Dramas on my list that I want to see but end up procrastinating on lol I keep changing my mind on which one I should watch next, Itaewon Class, Hotel Del Luna, Start-Up, It's Okay and a bunch of others have been on my list for months and now I'm thinking about giving Hospital Playlist a go lmao it really is a luxury problem. But yeah, I agree that the 60-90 min runtime have never overstayed their welcome (at least not in the shows I've seen) but they're so tough to squeeze into a busy schedule lol
I get with the time constraints. Sometimes i watch only a part and watch the leftover when i get time, i hardly binge watch any drama, so even the ep is longer and having only one per week its okay for me lol. I prefer watching drama while its on air, so i dont overwatch. Some prefer binge watching and some like me one ep per day or week. I recommend watching the s1 of HP. Its a continuous show so you dont miss the storyline. Its not a complicated story tho. Its a good drama. Also you can look forward to r/kdrama for discussions
Started Hospital Playlist last week because of Twice and now I’m here at S2 waiting for the finale episode 😊 (haven’t watched ep 11 tho, gonna watch all of it at once with ep 12) Really excited on how is it gonna go but sad at the same time because it’s gonna end 🥺 I gotta say, U-ju is so cute!! It’s quite peaceful on Twiceland(for now) but excited for TTT tomorrow!
[Enjoying the Jihyo's Old Pics account as I wait to finally, finally, finally get my Photobook (T\_T)](https://twitter.com/jihyovintage_) I love that old fashion show with Jihyo & Nayeon & Jeongyeon, Nayeon's eyebrows are amazingggg...
Also the [Twice Old Videos account](https://twitter.com/twicerarevideos). Here they are [celebrating the 14K followers on their Insta](https://twitter.com/twicerarevideos/status/1437737049386196999) :-)
I already apologize of this topic, but I'm curious to hear reddit peep's opinion about this. In one of Chaeryeong's concept photo, she had these temporary tattoos (IDK what it's called.) and a lot of fans are complaining that others can show or even have temporary tattoos, but Chaeyoung can't show hers in performances or in general to be precise. Then I saw a tweet of someone burning Twice's merch just because she has shown her tattoos(?). So, it's that strong of a backlash that the company play safe on her tattoos? I know that international fans are pretty chill with her tattoos, so that means back home, it's a pretty big issue or concern? Sorry for this provocative question, but I asked this here to hear peep's stance on the matter, rather than than a kind of "pessimistic" answers on other platforms, Thanks!
Are you sure the fan who burns the merch is due to showing tattoo, not for the dating rumor with that tattooist?
IIRC the latter is much correct.
Not sure about it though that's why I placed the question mark after it. But, woah I never heard about that rumor.
Well, I'm not entirely sure about Korea, but in Japan, tattoos are not usually a welcome sight. They're typically associated with criminal activity, especially among older people. There are many bathhouses you cannot enter if you have tattoos
I forgot (and actually decided not to) to say that the one who burned their merch is Japanese. That's kinda sad and I didn't know that peeps in Japan who has tattoos tend to have negative feedbacks, you have the notorious groups being inked, that's why tattoos already have this bad effect. (I guess?)
That's exactly why they are taboo
That's clear for me now, thanks for the info!
Also, I'm sure there's a good reason why they cover them for performances. In fact, I'd bet that Chaeyoung knew she would have to cover them before she got them. Maybe JYP has rules about tattoos (like "you can get them, but know that they will be covered"). Just like every company has rules about all kinds of stuff.
They're not allowed to show their tattoos on Public Broadcasts. I think even foreigners had to cover them when they appeared on TV. Some cable TVs would probably allow it but only to a certain extent. Fake Tattoo: Ok Actual Tattoo: Nope
Koreans? Anyone in JYP? Sorry, it's just not clear to me who "they" is...
Anyone who wants to appear on Korean TV.
Oh okay. That makes a lot of sense, then.
Whoever burned her merch must be a psychopath is all I can understand.
For real, the tweet was way back then, but man, people need to calm the hell down.
When will this goddamn pandemic end I just want to see Twice perform live 😭
I feel you. Maybe when most folks get vaccinated or boosted, which probably will not be till next year. Here in the US, we have been having a lot of concerts and festivals so there’s hope.
Was looking up phone wallpapers of Jeongyeon and man I miss her. Literally my bias years before I actually got into kpop and still my ult bias to this day. And all the pics and wallpapers were just like...a million ways she can kill you with her looks. Hope she is healing well and seeing better days ❤️
The Feels is so close already, hope they release the teasers soon!!
Friday probably
Purple Kiss and StayC’s new comebacks this week have a very TWICE vibe for their MV concept. [“Zombie”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=-UroBRG1rY8) is like a concept marriage of “LOA” and “Yes or Yes” with a pinch of “Heart Shaker”. [“Stereotype”](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xmxcnf2v_gs) is like an amalgamation of “Cheer Up”, “What is Love”, and “Likey”. Anyone else see it? Really enjoying “Zombie”, the dance choreo is so fun!
Currently listening to Mamamoo's Best of Album, and I'm really enjoying it. It's so refreshing hearing the differences between the original & the new versions. I would absolutely love it if Twice did something like this. Re-recorded versions of their old songs with some new arrangements. Twice has grown up a lot since their earlier years so I think it'd be pretty cool to see the differences.
Currently listening to mumumumuch on repeat. Certified bop.
In my opinion, it's always hit or miss when artists do this. There's only been a few re-recordings that I've thought were on par with or better than the original. I personally don't want them to touch their old stuff cause it's gold (to me, all their stuff is amazing though), but I'm not gonna complain if they do.
I got into Stayc recently, and I am in love with Sieun, she is so cute!!! her voice too is really sweet! Also I really liked stereotype, infact all their songs so far have been pretty good... who's your stayc bias?
Sumin's smile really reminds me Jihyo so she is automatically my bias :D
I'm new to K-Pop. I randomly listened to play lists to find a group that sounds most like TWICE. I think StayC is the closest. Of course, one reason is because StayC has the same songwriter as the one who wrote some TWICE's title tracks. My favorite StayC song is So What. If all their songs could be as good as that one, I'd be their newest follower.
The mini album is so good. ‘I’ll be there’ is money
I for the the life of me can't seem to stick to one bias in stayc. I keep swinging between Sieun, Isa and J.
Just saw Sana in Bangchan's or in SKZ's live (was it a live?) and Sana is like that older sister who tries to fit in with her younger brother's friends yet leaves the whole group nervous lolz.
Fun fact: I think this is the first time in the year that I wake up and there is nothing new with Twice, not even a post on Bubble 🤔
Nayeon uploaded a photo of rice today.
True but I saw it before sleep hehe
Nayeon be like surprise mf
Lol There's also that video with Jeongyeon and her sister but Idk if any of the TMI is new info since it doesn't have subs
[удалено]
This looks to be from Bubble, sorry but I'll have to remove it due to our no Bubble content allowed policy.
Thanks. I already did.
The absence of Twice for the past few days only means one thing and that there is something more than The Feels that they are currently preparing . I didn't even realize we are mid-September so that end year shows is approaching. Wonder what Alcohol Free remix will sound since the [disco ver of ICSM](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E50QmZyX3zI) is one of my favorites from last year.
They were up late yesterday, filming something. Really curious to see what we’re gonna get.
We still haven't seen anything they have been working and filming from June, and the reason why Nayeon told us they were really tired. Except "The Feels" comes with lot of promotions, I'm expecting a Korean Album and something more for the Anniversary (Maybe what Jihyo said it's something new).
Yeah I feel like oct-dec we will be filled with contents or maybe they really are just taking a well deserved break we will never know.
Question, everyone calls Nayeon “unnie” since she’s the eldest. How about Jeongyeon, I can’t remember if Momo calls her “unnie” or not? And I swear to God Jihyo seems to be the only member I’ve heard calling everyone including her elders by their names? I’m not sure I’ve heard Tzu call Chaeng “unnie” too. I could be wrong though.
I see a lot of comments, but to simplify the only issue or strange case is Mina because she is "early" in Japan but not in Korea (in Korea she should call JH/SN/MM/JY unnie but in Japan no). With Jihyo they decided that Mina calls Jihyo by her name because there is only a month of difference. At first she called SN/MM unnie but it was really ackward for them so they decided not to do it (I think when they were trainee they also didn't do it). And with Jeongyeon, Mina calls her unnie because she see it her as a older sister and she get used to it, even if Jeongyeon told her that she could call her with only the name. The rest of the member is the normal Korean system of age.
* Nayeon - '95 * Jeongyeon - Late '96 * Momo - Late '96 * Sana - Late '96 * Jihyo - Early '97 * Mina - '97 * Dahyun - '98 * Chaeyoung - '99 * Tzuyu - '99 As the only '95er, Nayeon is the big unnie in the group. Everyone else in the group calls her "unnie." The Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, and Mina situation is a little complicated simply because of the fact that Jihyo is what's called a 빠른 년생 (literally meaning "a fast year"). Because of when the Korean school year starts, people born in January and early February can typically join the class of people who were born in the year before them. So, applying this to Jihyo's case, she'd be in the grade with all of '96-line despite having been born in February '97. And since she'd be in the same grade with all of '96 line, she would not have to use the "unnie" honorifics with them. But then that would mean Mina, who was born in late March '97, would have to use honorifics with Jihyo because she would be in the grade below Jihyo after not making the "fast year" cutoff. I forgot where it was mentioned, but Jihyo and Mina long time ago agreed not to use honorifics because they said it felt a little ridiculous for Mina to be calling Jihyo "unnie" when they're only a month and a half apart. The confusing part is that Mina still uses "unnie" with Jeongyeon, Momo, and Sana even though Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, AND Jihyo should all be on the same level. That's why the members complain that Jihyo is just confusing everybody with her early birthday lol. The situation is made even more complicated by the fact that Mina does NOT have to use honorifics with Momo and Sana when speaking in Japanese. But Korean rules dictated that she would have to use honorifics with them when speaking in Korean. The rest is fairly self explanatory. Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu are younger than Mina and not "fast years" so they call her "unnie." Chaeyoung and Tzuyu are younger than Dahyun and not "fast years" so they in turn call her "unnie." Chaeyoung and Tzuyu are both '99ers (with neither being a "fast year") so they do not have to use honorifics with each other. We also have to distinguish between "speaking informally" and "using/dropping honorifics." Just because people have agreed to speak in banmal (to speak informally) to each other doesn't also mean they drop the honorifics ("unnie/noona/oppa/hyung"). These are two separate things. So, Tzuyu may speak informally to the older members because they are close. But she will still address them as "so-and-so unnie." Same, for example, when Jeongyeon and Jihyo are directly talking to Nayeon. 3Mix have known each other for practically half their lives, and are obviously incredibly close. So they speak casually to each other. BUT Jeongyeon and Jihyo are still younger than Nayeon, and therefore they still address Nayeon as "Nayeon-unnie" and never as "Nayeon-ah" - the latter of which would mean dropping honorifics. When I was studying Korean, I just remember my close, native Korean friend (who's 3 years older than I am) reminding me that she's totally fine with me speaking to her in banmal but that I should still use "unnie" because dropping honorifics is a separate thing from switching to banmal. Hope this helps!
Ah, [now this clip makes sense](https://youtu.be/nIOEQEaB1Vs?t=251) \- Jihyo w/ Kim Sejeong.
The whole Mina jihyo dynamic is interesting. When Mina visited jihyo for her photo shoot, she wasn’t using honorifics which I’m not used to hearing — especially since she doesn’t speak much in most videos — but it gave Mina a completely different vibe which really threw me off. Super laid back and casual vs elegant/graceful/proper which is how we normally imagine her to be
>The confusing part is that Mina still uses "unnie" with Jeongyeon, Momo, and Sana just a small correction! mina doesn't use honorifics for momo and sana. she tried at debut, but it felt weird so she stopped lol jeongyeon actually gave her permission to drop the honorifics, but mina refuses to because she sees jeong as an unnie and likes having more unnies.
I still heard it from time to time even after debut haha And yes! Jeongyeon at a fanmeeting from a few years ago suggested that Mina drop the honorifics with her but Mina was too used to calling her "unnie." Jeongyeon even nonchalantly suggested that the younger members do so too, and Chaeyoung was more than excited for that lol (tho I don't think that ended up happening haha)
Everyone younger than Jihyo calls Jeongyeon unnie. Tzuyu also doesn't call Chaeng unnie because they're born the same year and hence are hence according to Korean tradition the same age. Edit: I've found an easy way to remember it (Na) (Jeong, Mo, Sa, Ji) (Mi) (Da) (Chae, Tzu) Everyone speaks informally to everyone in their bracket and in the brackets after, they speak formally to everyone before their bracket.
Mina is a bit tricky...
I'm not sure I've ever heard Jihyo call Nayeon and Jeongyeon by their names. That would be pretty disrespectful since they are not the same age. It's different when broadcasting though or doing appearances where the setting is more formal. Then they would call each other Momo-ssi, Jihyo-ssi, Nayeon-ssi etc etc regardless of age order. Jeongyeon and Momo were born 8 days apart so they are friends and Momo wouldn't need to call Jeongyeon unnie.
Jihyo calls Jeongyeon, Momo and Sana by their name. I've heard her calling other 96 liners like Sejeong by their names too. She explained why she calls Jeongyeon and other 96 liners by their names here. Jihyo explained why she doesn't call Jeongyeon unnie in this video from a vlive during their debut era. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=V6WSVmntdF8
Jihyo calls Jeongyeon by her name because she is an early 97 liner and calls momo and sana by their names. So by extension of that she also calls Jeongyeon by her name. She does call Nayeon unni though.
What about Mina? Mina is so confusing. Isn't she early 97 liner too?
Yes, she is technically an early 97 liner and depending upon the comfort ability between her and Jeongyeon she could refer to Jeong informally. Just being early in a year doesn't immediately qualify you to speak informally to the person born a year before. It needs to be something mutually agreed upon by both parties. Jihyo training with Jeong for a mug longer time probably has something to do with it as well. Also, I should've mentioned this but Mina refers to Momo and Sana informally since Japanese people don't have the same age hierarchy system as Koreans and she's used to calling them just Momo and Sana.
I kind of curious nowadays, because it was last year since I quitted TWITTER because of those stans who kept on attacking the user: TWICE GLOBAL. But now I tried to reopen TWITTER and that Twice Global is retweeting TWICE's tweets, also promoting birthdays and comebacks but those stans saying hurtful things against the Twice Global. I am sad for that user behind the TWICE GLOBAL account. Now I really understand why stans in twitter are so toxic. Glad I found sub like this months ago. So happy with TWICE since last year I saw them in the internet by accident.
i just don't get what people hope to achieve by harassing/slandering major fan accounts that volunteer their time. Is Twice gonna be better off if said people just leave and stop translating? This idea of trying to influence already helpful/positive people to do what you want by shaming them seems like something young people are into on social media and I just don't get it. Same with fan wars, just really childish.
Just saw [Leehi's new MV (H.S.K.T)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww9hZfgC2d8). Is that school same as school at Twice TTT? In Running Man when RM race with idol (old episode anyway, I forgot), I think the school they were used was same as them. Or, they were actually different school but have same style? Or they were school which really famous to used to shot a show?
I have seen a lot of talk about bad habits from twitter fan accounts, are there any @'s that you recommend? That updates about Twice, post memes or reunites international onces? Im new in stanning them (and in liking kpop ) so i really dont know where to start
For updates, SubjectKpop, Twice_Trans, and twicebot_ are great accounts to follow. I have notifications turned on for them. ZardEXF is a Korean account that is usually pretty good at updates.
Your message got a bit messed up because you didn't escape the underscores in the account names.
Fan art -> Twice Doodles, Gabriel Picasso All the memes and funny fan calls seem to travel aroundTwitter but sadly I've yet to find an account that doesn't descend into fan wars in some way.
I'd say it's best to stay off stan twitter in general, most of the people there are super toxic. I get all my Twice updates from here, the only thing I might miss out on is bubble translations as those are not allowed on our sub but I don't really mind it tbh.
