Best Kept Secret

Jokes Half Meant

ONCE is unquestionably one of the biggest K-Pop fandoms now; and still growing. Very likely to have all sorts of fans including, the gullible and the toxic. A chunk of this combo trends assumptions about things they don't see.

Case in point, people talk of Jihyo and Daniel even though those two have kept on demonstrating that they basically have nothing with each other.

This time, the fans talk about Jeongyeon's missing solo focus fancams. In contrast to the dating issues, the companies had no statement regarding this. They're the ones silent now, huh.

Fans point the blame to the broadcasting channels. They flood them with emails, harsh comments and tweets. With Once being mostly babo of situations, only a few dared to make sense of it.

The thinking bunch, on other hand, make assumptions on things they saw. They took notice of the neck brace Jeong briefly had during Dahyun's birthday Vlive. Also, ALL the channels didn't upload Jeong's fancams.

Most prominently, Sana shared on IG Story the backstage photos with Jeong. She captioned, "Don't hurt." They deduce that something is definitely up. This bunch too is apprehensive. But they rather request an explanation.

Although the voice of the sensible are drowned to the loudness of the babo majority, it paid off getting an explanation from the source herself. As it is Jeong's own truth, she took it to Vlive and explained it frankly before it blows up further:

"Because of the neck I couldn't practice more before comeback. So, I didn't want to show the imperfect side of me. After discussing with the companies, I ask them not to take fancams."

The ones she requested such favor from, have earned emails in return. It must've been embarrassing on her part that even though it's sensitive, she had to bring it up. If only more Once had noticed, Jeong didn't have to.

Just like if more Once had listened to Nayeon's warning back then, Momo didn't have to. If more Once had understood Twice's message, Jihyo didn't have to.

Anyway, fans care more about streaming and voting for the charts. They are here to stan. Not comprehend the idols' situation. Thus, it's Twice who has to adjust their dialogue with the fans.

But with the girls already being all 'what you see is what you get', what other adjustments could there be when fans like assuming on things they don't see?

Somehow, it's a charm having some loud babo fans. Because of them, the girls actively seek conversation with the feeling that they can't rest until the message gets across. And when they are understood, they become generous.

Second week of promotions. Sana posts one in her favorite platform, Twicetagram. A selca while being dolled up.

Interestingly, Sana has added a shushing face emoji. An indication of secrecy, as if an exclusive inside knowledge. It's not much of a secret when there's the heart emoji in Jihyo's color.

Captioned, "I took lots of selca but there are too many I can't pick. So here's for now." Sana also meant literally one quantity of a selca hence, such face emoji that gestures 'one'. In moderating Jihyo's obsession, just one for now.

'Cause last week, Jihyo barely left her. Even in the waiting room, they were together eating the fiery teumsae ramyun along with Nayeon and Momo. To think Jihyo can only take mild level of spicy.

Too fiery, roommate Mina didn't join them and instead went with Chaeyoung. This baby tiger, by the way, was so happily bouncy that Mina tames her. Visibly, Chaeng is also in a better state now compared to having nightmares in the previous era.

Although Twice won for Feel Special back then, the win now is also better in a sense that Jihyo didn't shed tears and be consoled by only some of the members.
