TWICE is one of the most popular groups since their debut and as they are nearing their 8th year together, their close bond is something that fans expected.
However, in Somi's show "Yes or Hot" which aired on August 30th, Chaeyoung spilled that she is awkward around this particular member.
@domloveschae Honestly that makes a lot of sense. #kpop #kpopedit #twice #twiceedit #chaeyoung #sonchaeyoung #chaeyoungedit #twicechaeyoung #somi #jeonsomi ♬ original sound - domloveschae
The member she is referring to is Jihyo. Netizens quickly came to her defense stating that when they debuted she was a literal child while Jihyo became a leader. They also pointed out that awkwardness isn't the same with Jihyo and Chaeyoung not being close to each other.
Netizens commented:
- It's like she just has so much respect for Jihyo. It doesn't mean they are not close.
- Not even most families are close so why would all K-pop groups be?
- To be honest, it’s kind of hard to be super close with eight other people.
- Most likely bc Chae was a child when they debuted and Jihyo is the leader, it's funny.
- Jihyo is literally the mom of all 8 of the members, this is not surprising at all.
- I sometimes forget that not all group idols will be close like siblings or friends.
- awkwardness ≠ not being close
- Guys, it’s not like she said they weren’t close, she just said it’s awkward because she still talks formally with her at times.
- I have a close friend who I’m still feeling awkward with since I look up to her so much. Probably that’s the case for Chae too
- That’s crazy to hear lol but understandable.
- Awkward & not close are two different things. People need to grab context before they jump to conclusions
- Twice as a group are close to each other no doubt about that but surely every member has another member that they are very closed to.
- You just know that Jihyo's doing her part as the leader based on Chae's comment.
- People forget that being an idol is a job, so they don’t really have to be close with their members.
