Having already won multiple major awards and setting several industry records, there’s no questioning TWICE’s popularity.
With their latest win on M! Countdown, TWICE now has 63 total music show wins! 👑🎶🏆 That's the 5th-most wins for any artist in history, all in less than 3 years! 🎉😍🍭 One of the countless reasons they're undeniably the Nation's Girl Group! @JYPETWICE pic.twitter.com/Ohk6KwPrVD

And while the group’s fandom ONCE is undoubtedly one of the largest fan clubs in K-Pop right now, the group is also receiving a lot of attention for having a large amount of anti-fans as well.
antis: twice is that, twice is this, twice is—
once: no. twice is hardworking, talented and nice girls they deserve all the love.
antis: once being so cruel. once are so disgusting. i lost respect for once. stop saying things about our faves once are bad persons.

In fact, with so many haters constantly commenting on TWICE photos, videos, and news, fans of the group have dubbed TWICE haters THRICE, a play on the group’s name and fandom.

According to fans on Twitter, the Thrice anti-fans are even joining together and are possibly planning a special light stick, logo, and even an official color.

While most idol groups have their fair share of anti-fans, ONCE have noticed that Thrice are constantly commenting on any news, photos, or videos featuring TWICE. Most noticeably, these anti-fans have constantly been purposely disliking TWICE’s music videos.

According to fans, three of TWICE’s music videos (“TT”, “Knock Knock”, and “Cheer Up”) are among the top four most disliked videos on YouTube.
While TWICE is well-loved in Korea, having even been regarded as the new “Nation’s Girl Group” by Korean television broadcasts and news outlets, they have also started attracting more and more anti-fans as their fame continues to grow.
We're tired of absolutely no constructive criticism at this point, if you haven't been a ONCE&seen all the idiotic hate Twice has gotten. From yt dislike projects to flooding their social media with hate, then there's no point in arguing. Why not just decrease the bulk of immas?

However, as haters continue to monitor all of TWICE’s activities, they appear to also be helping to add to TWICE’s success.
The 352,000+ dislikes on “TT” definitely amounted to a ton of views, helping it become the most-watched K-Pop girl group music video of all time.
And while no one wants to have anti-fans, it’s quite evident that having haters is also a clear sign of success.
