TWICE’s Jeongyeon Goes Viral For A Fan Service “Mishap” At The Airport
TWICE celebrated New Year’s Eve in Japan, performing on the popular annual New Year’s Eve program, NHK‘s Kohaku Uta Gassen, as one of three K-Pop acts on the show.
In 2022, TWICE completed their fourth world tour, III, they made comebacks in Korea and Japan, and all nine members unanimously chose to renew their exclusive contracts with JYP Entertainment after seven years together.
Their decision to renew their contracts thrilled fans and warmed the hearts of netizens as the members revealed they made the decision to stay together because being a member of TWICE was “[their] lives.”
I’ve produced and watched so many groups in my lifetime but I never saw a group stay this tight for 7 long years.
— J.Y. Park, founder of JYP Entertainment
The group shined on stage at Kohaku Uta Gassen, wearing sparkling outfits, perfect for the New Year celebrations. TWICE performed their most recent Japanese-language single, “Celebrate,” for the occasion.
While they were the main event on stage, they were also the main event off stage as the members arrived back in Korea after the performance.
TWICE arrived at Gimpo Airport and showed their close bond by arriving in matching bunny hats that had fans and the press cheering as they walked through the airport.

After she realized her bunny ears were caught, Jeongyeon hilariously paused for a moment before cracking the window open and slowly pulling them back in the car, adding to the unintentional comedy of the moment.
