1. [+1,237, -148] Mina-ya, I'll be waiting... and what suddenly happened to Jihyo ㅠㅠ I hope the 'Feel Special' showcase ends well

2. [+513, -74] Mina-ya!! It's fine!! We can wait until whenever!! Don't get sick and eat all your meals, let's see you soon ♥

3. [+362, -35] I trust that the other members will fill Mina's spot. Mina, just focus on recovering your health. Let's do well, Twice!!

4. [+318, -38] Kids, don't get sick ㅠㅠ Mina, you can rest more ♥ It's already a brave step that you took in participating in the album production alone! Love you, Twibabies.

5. [+235, -38] Twice Mina jjang

6. [+83, -10] You're amazing enough already for participating in the album, I know that it took a lot of strength for you to do that

7. [+64, -3] It'd be weird if the kids never got sick after all the promos they've had to do.. I hope everyone recovers well..

8. [+120, -63] Twice feels like they're losing their energy. The typical decline of a top girl group... I thought they'd be able to maintain their status for longer than SNSD but it doesn't look easy.

1. [+421, -25] Red Velvet's problem: that they're getting weirder by the comeback
Twice's problem: that they're being overworked
Black Pink's problem: their agency
IZ*ONE's problem: that they're never in Korea
Lovely: is a problem
Oh My Girl's problem: that they're only getting popular now
Mamamoo's problem: their excessive fashion looks

2. [+165, -13] I guess she won't be participating in promos, just the song and MV recordings. It's true, meeting people is the hardest part...

3. [+142, -38] Out of all the idol groups this year, seems like none of them have had a hit song outside of BTS. Twice's 'Fancy' was #1 on Melon for a few hours before it disappeared and didn't get any reaction. The idol world feels so different now.

4. [+26, -8] At this point, isn't it better for Mina to just leave the group? If she keeps going like this, the members will always have to edit their songs and dances depending on when Mina is there or not. It's uncomfortable for everyone involved. It's not like they can wait forever and cater to her every whim. You can tell from the music video that she doesn't look well and people like her just bring the mood down for everyone else. She's unable to take care of herself and the problem remains that she's unable to participate in promos either. She should either halt her entire career or leave the group.

5. [+18, -9] Mina, don't be sick

6. [+15, -8] I just saw the new music video and Mina looks so depressed in it.. find strength ㅠㅠ

7. [+13, -6] Feels like Jihyo gets injured so often with every comeback

8. [+8, -5] Health comes first... just don't take on more than you can handle..

Article: JYP bans questions on Jihyo and Kang Daniel at Twice showcase "pass on questions about their private life"

Source: Newsen via Nate

1. [+338, -44] Well duh??

2. [+280, -36] It's rude to even be asking that stuff at their showcase

3. [+228, -36] Good move on JYP's part

4. [+31, -5] It is rude to even be asking such personal stuff at a comeback showcase. All questions should be related to the album. Why ask anything sensitive?...

5. [+30, -6] It's a showcase, only questions about the album or their performance should be allowed

6. [+8, -3] Not even that curious, honestly

7. [+6, -0] It's not like this is Jihyo's solo showcase, her private life is not something to bring up at a Twice showcase...

8. [+4, -0] Why would you ever expect more from Korean journalists

1. [+635, -37] She's the only decent singer so it's not like they can have her sit out like Mina. She can't even take a break because there's no other vocal in the group.

2. [+486, -51] Out of all the biggest agencies, JYP is the one who's working their groups like slaves these days. They don't have a money making male group aside from Got7, and it's obvious JYP's getting greedy for the Yen with their plans for an all Japanese group, tsk tsk tsk

3. [+479, -39] JYP used to be the one to call out slave contracts in the first generation but now they're the ones who are overworking their own artists. Seems like there's a member that's sick with every comeback.

4. [+39, -37] Recycle girl

5. [+29, -4] She's looking prettier since she's been dating

6. [+18, -4] ㅋㅋㅋㅋ The comments are all making a big deal out of how they're being overworked but they still have time for other things like shopping and dating ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

7. [+14, -3] Jihyo's beauty is at its peak these days... as they say, those in love get prettier~

8. [+12, -3] She looks like a doll
