TWICE’s Mina (미나) generated buzz among ONCEs (TWICE fans) recently when she made her surprise appearance at the group’s 4th anniversary fan-meeting.
The award-winning girl group held a special fan-meeting entitled “ONCE HALLOWEEN 2” on Sunday (20th October) at the Hwajeong Gymnasium of Korea University in Seoul to celebrate their 4th anniversary. They managed to catch people’s attention with their choice of Halloween outfits during the event.
Initially, the plan was to proceed with only 8 members – Nayeon, Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Sana, Dahyun, Momo, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu. But the Japanese idol chose to perform with her members on her own will. For those who don’t know, Mina is still recovering from her anxiety disorder.
The interesting part was, this event marked the 1st time TWICE performed their latest song “Feel Special” as a full group. Despite not being able to dance with the other girls, Mina made sure that she gave her all for the fans.

Another interesting highlight was the moment when the famous girl band was surprised with a cake by a staff member to celebrate their anniversary. At that time, Mina (full name Myoui Mina) was not seen on stage as she was resting backstage.
But the girls made sure that Mina was not left out during the celebration. In this case, fellow Japanese member Sana went off stage to bring her back on stage so that they could blow the candles together as a full group.
They halted everything during the cake celebration and Sana went off stage just to bring Mina back to make a wish together. TWICE made it a point they weren't celebrating the anniversary without all 9. 😭 pic.twitter.com/ixSNQKSZSc
