TWICE’s Jihyo Spams Fans With Photos But ARMY-ONCEs Notice Something Unexpected
TWICE‘s Jihyo was especially active on Bubble (an app that allows idols to message fans) as she recently gifted her fans with many beautiful photos.
She showed off a beautiful light pink dress…

But sharp-eyed fans were most focused on a set of photos Jihyo sent of her posing next to a statue that looks like a rabbit.

Although nothing initially jumps out about this picture aside from the idol’s stunning figure, great fashion sense, and adorable smile…
Fans decided to zoom in on the stickers decorating her co-star statue.

Among the stickers stuck to the statue’s side is none other than BT21‘s Mang.
Why is Mang there? 😂😂😂😂

Mang is the character that BTS‘s J-Hope designed. Mang is a dancing pony who keeps his face hidden behind a mask. And his adorable design, like with all of BT21, has won him a lot of fans. ARMY-ONCEs, fans of both BTS and TWICE, found the detail both exciting and amusing.
Some were hopeful that somehow this was enough evidence that BTS and TWICE would finally have the collaboration of the century.
twice x bts collab confirmed

Or that at least main dancers J-Hope and Momo might perform together.
when momo and bts do a dance collab>>>

Others joked that the pictures themselves were the collaboration, just between TWICE and BT21, not BTS.
We got a Twice×BT21 collab before BTS lmao

Some fans were simply excited to get any crumbs of interaction between TWICE and BTS.
this is the first bangtwice crumbs that we got in 2022 https://t.co/Kj8ChbHOSz

And some fans even joked that this was proof that Mang was the true “it boy” of all the K-Pop idols.
mang it boy

While one fan was pretty honest in sharing what most people were probably thinking: they would have never considered zooming in on the stickers!
i would have never noticed the stickers but hell yeah https://t.co/1r6H7cc5kq

As two of the largest fandoms, it’s no real surprise that fans were able to spot this small detail.
And fans have this now-iconic picture of Jihyo and Mang posing together although everyone would love an official collaboration between the two groups.
