TWICE Faces Backlash Over Awkward Concert Moment: Fans Outraged!

Can you imagine spending your hard-earned money on a concert only to witness a cringe-worthy moment on stage? That's exactly what fans experienced during a recent TWICE performance in Seoul, leading to a social media frenzy and a tidal wave of criticism.
Last weekend, at their much-anticipated concert, the K-pop sensation TWICE delivered their energetic hit “Dance The Night Away.” However, things took a turn when members Jihyo and Nayeon encountered a technical hiccup involving a mic pack, which disrupted their choreography. Fans were quick to capture the moment in a viral clip that has since taken the internet by storm.
In the video, as the music kept playing, Jihyo and Nayeon momentarily halted their dance, with Nayeon attempting to assist Jihyo. Meanwhile, the rest of the members struggled to maintain formation, culminating in Jeongyeon and Momo accidentally colliding, leading to an awkward restart of the routine. The entire scene felt disjointed and left many fans feeling disappointed.
Social media platforms like X (formerly known as Twitter) buzzed with reactions as users began questioning the group’s synchronization and overall performance quality. While technical glitches are a common part of live performances, viewers were quick to express their dissatisfaction, suggesting that the incident revealed a concerning lack of professionalism.
One user sarcastically wrote, “Did they practice in different rooms?” while another lamented, “Can we agree that this is the worst concert of 2025?” The comparisons to BLACKPINK’s Jennie from a previous concert in Los Angeles, where she was criticized for a similar mic issue, added fuel to the fire. Critics highlighted the apparent double standards in how fans judged TWICE versus Jennie's experience.
As the backlash continued, fans and critics alike began to engage in heated discussions online. Some questioned if this incident would tarnish TWICE's reputation as one of the best K-pop groups known for their stage presence and synchronization. Others simply expressed their disappointment, feeling that the performance fell short of the high expectations fans had.
In an industry where precision and energy are paramount, this moment not only impacted TWICE’s performance but also raised questions about the pressures faced by idols in the K-pop scene. Will this incident be a blip on the radar, or could it signal something deeper about the standards and expectations placed on these performers?
