Recently, members Wonhee, Mocha and Yunah of girl group ILLIT appeared as guests on Park So Hyun's radio show "Love Game".
When asked to choose a song to play that he/she likes the most, Wonhee chose TWICE's "Heartshaker".
Explaining her decision, Wonhee said, I had to choose between BTSs seniors I Need You and this song. But in the end I chose "Heartshaker".
For the evening, when mentioning Kpop girl group, the first name that always comes to mind is the senior of TWICE. Since I was a kid, TWICE has been a group that my friends have followed regularly, and has naturally become a familiar part of my daily life.
However, things quickly became tense on social network X (formerly Twitter), when a corrupt version of Wonhee's shares was spread. The wrong version reads: In my opinion, when talking about the most famous girl group, it is always TWICE.
This expression has led some international fans to think that Wonhee's comments are a disregard for other top girl groups, especially Blackpink. Wonhee was heavily criticized.
Many major music media channels on X and even TWICE fan accounts have reparted this mis Translated version, causing the battle between fandom Blackpink and TWICE to explode. Fans of these two groups are heatedly arguing about whether Blackpink or TWICE are the top girl group.
As the situation became more tense, many ILLIT fans stepped in to clarify that Wonhee's initial shares were misunderstood.
They corrected the version and emphasized that Wonhee simply expressed personal admiration for TWICE, not intending to compare TWICE with any other girl group.
Despite efforts to clarify the misconception, the wave of protests against Wonhee continued to spread on social media.
However, there are also opinions that a part of Blackpink fans are reacting excessively. Because expressing love and admiration for a group is completely personal so thich.
