TWICE might be one of the most documented K-pop groups in the world, yet even the most loyal ONCEs keep discovering new and surprising facts about them. From unexpected talents to quirky habits, these fun tidbits reveal just how multifaceted—and funny—the members truly are.
1. Momo’s dance obsession started with YouTube
Before training with JYP, Momo and her sister used to post dance covers on YouTube. JYP staff discovered her by chance, leading to her audition. She once said she used to watch choreography videos for hours without realizing time was passing—a true example of passion turning into destiny.
2. Nayeon secretly loves dad jokes
Despite her glamorous image, Nayeon’s humor is pure chaos. She’s confessed that she collects bad puns and practices them before variety shows. Her members groan every time she delivers one, but fans adore her “aegyo humor,” which never fails to lighten the mood.
3. Jeongyeon builds furniture for fun
Not many fans know Jeongyeon enjoys carpentry. She’s built tables, bookshelves, and even customized her pet’s cage. When fans asked how she learned, she casually replied, “YouTube taught me.” Her down-to-earth hobbies make her one of the most relatable idols out there.
4. Jihyo’s favorite relaxation method is cleaning
Jihyo finds peace in tidying up. During dorm life, she was known for organizing the kitchen while singing TWICE songs under her breath. The members call her “Mom Jihyo” because she scolds them gently when the room gets messy—then ends up cleaning it herself anyway.
5. Sana has an alter ego named “Kim Cheese”
Whenever Sana gets too hyper, the members joke that “Kim Cheese” has arrived. The nickname came from her tendency to yell “Say Kimchi!” during photos, but one day she accidentally shouted “Cheese!” instead. Now, every time Sana gets goofy, the girls say, “Kim Cheese is here again!”
6. Mina studied ballet for 11 years
Her grace on stage isn’t accidental—Mina trained in ballet before joining TWICE. Her perfect posture and smooth transitions make her one of the most elegant performers in K-pop, yet offstage, she’s known for being adorably clumsy, often tripping over her own feet.
7. Dahyun once went viral for her church performance
Before debuting, Dahyun performed a freestyle dance at church that went viral online. JYP scouts spotted her, and the rest is history. Fans still affectionately call it “The Eagle Dance,” a reference to her energetic arm flaps that somehow became iconic.
8. Chaeyoung writes poetry
In addition to songwriting, Chaeyoung writes poems in her notebooks. She says it helps her express emotions she can’t put into lyrics. Fans love her artistic side, which adds depth to her playful personality.
9. Tzuyu’s dogs have their own fan clubs
Her pets, Kaya and Butter, appear frequently in TWICE content and are so popular they have dedicated fan pages. Whenever Tzuyu posts photos with them, comments flood in saying, “Visuals run in the family!”
10. They once practiced for 17 hours straight
Before their debut, TWICE reportedly trained for an entire day without realizing it had turned night. Jihyo said, “We were so focused that time just disappeared.” It’s that determination that turned nine trainees into superstars.
These quirky and endearing facts make TWICE feel like friends you could hang out with. Collectors often celebrate these traits with Twice merch, from posters of their pets to stickers featuring Sana’s “Kim Cheese” moments. Fans can explore even more fun designs at the Twice Merch Store and find comfortable Twice Hoodies at the Official Twice Shop.
