Mina Surprised Fans By Performing For TWICE’s Fourth Anniversary Fan Meeting
After sitting out of activities and promotions due to her recovery from intense anxiety, TWICE‘s Mina finally stepped foot on stage and surprised fans by performing for their fourth-anniversary fan meeting, ONCE Halloween.
Initially, the plan was to push through with only eight of the members, but Mina chose to perform with the girls in the end. According to Jihyo, she was able to find the courage to perform in front of the fans. ONCEs, in turn, made sure Mina felt loved by cheering loudly for her whenever she sang.

There were certain moments, like the member’s talking ments, where Mina was not on stage with her members and would stay backstage to rest. During the fan meeting, the staff surprised TWICE with a cake for their anniversary. Instead of blowing the candles out with just eight of them, Sana made sure to bring Mina back on stage so they can blow the candles out together as nine!
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
