TWICE Flex Their Tagalog Language Skills And Have Filipino ONCEs Feeling Proud
TWICE recently appeared on Shopee’s channel for their 9.9 Shopping Day special! The group talked about their experience with Filipino ONCEs and shared their love for their fans there. They also flexed their Tagalog skills by speaking a few phrases that ONCEs would know well!
Each member introduced themselves one by one and Sana included some Tagalog in her intro! She looked absolutely adorable as she introduced herself and said, “Mahal ko kayo.” (I love you all.)
Dahyun stayed on theme, since they were there to promote Shopee’s shopping day promotion. She said, “Nag-shopping na ba kayo?” (Have you been shopping?) Dahyun said it so well that fans are certain she’s been practicing her Tagalog recently!
When the host Heejun asked the group what Filipino phrases they learned, Momo gave a very simple but important phrase: “Mahal kita!” (I love you!) As an idol with tons of loving fans in the Philippines, it’s no surprise that Momo would remember that phrase well.
Chaeyoung pulled out a phrase ONCEs definitely use to describe TWICE all the time: “Ang galing” which means “Very good” or “Awesome.” The members couldn’t help but let out a laugh at Chaeyoung’s pronunciation, but we think she aced it!
The official Twitter account for TWICE also tweeted in Tagalog prior to the episode!
Handa na ba kayo bukas, @ShopeePH ONCE?
