Can you imagine being in the spotlight yet facing such harsh criticism for simply being human? That's exactly what TWICE's Mina is dealing with after fans unleashed a storm of negative comments following clips from their recent concert in Seoul.

The girl group, famously known for their infectious hits and electrifying performances, kicked off their sixth world tour, aptly named THIS IS FOR, with two vibrant shows over the weekend. The songs from their latest album resonated with fans, igniting excitement throughout the venue.

But in a twist that left many shocked, a short clip of Mina performing the beloved track “Feel Special” sparked widespread criticism. Although the group is celebrated for their synchronized dance moves and infectious energy, this particular performance showed Mina seeming a bit lackluster, drawing comments from international fans who felt her energy didn't match that of her peers.

“Go girl, give us nothing,” tweeted one user, echoing the sentiments of many who felt her presence on stage was lacking. Another fan remarked that the group, despite boasting incredible talent, seemed to miss the mark in terms of stage presence.

As social media exploded with opinions, some loyal fans rushed to Mina's defense, arguing that the grueling demands of concerts can take a toll on even the most seasoned idols. Others, however, insisted that idols must uphold a high level of performance irrespective of external pressures.

The conversation was ignited further by another clip of Mina during the song “Dance The Night Away,” which did little to quell the unease among fans. “A ten-year-old group should know better,” remarked one disgruntled spectator, highlighting that even though there are nine members on stage, the energy needs to be palpable.

This controversy eerily echoes what BLACKPINK’s Jennie faced not long ago when she was criticized for not dancing at a concert in LA. It’s a troubling dilemma: Are these idols pushed to their limits, forced to perform at peak levels while battling exhaustion? While some fans express disappointment, others are begging for understanding, acknowledging the immense pressure of performing across lengthy shows.
