Coincidentally, fans had predicted this exact issue only 4 months ago. Photos of TWICE began circulating amongst ONCE when they realized the girls would often pose on their knees pressed against the floor.
These photos began to cause concern, especially for Jihyo who would often be the one kneeling. It appears that fans may have been right about how damaging it is for Jihyo to pose the way she does.
