“Shocking” TWICE Concert Clip Sparks Scathing Reactions And Comparisons To BLACKPINK’s Jennie

A recent concert performance by TWICE has sparked intense backlash online, with a viral clip drawing criticism from fans and netizens alike. The incident took place during the group’s show in Seoul last weekend, where they performed their upbeat hit “Dance The Night Away.”

In the now-viral video, members Jihyo and Nayeon can be seen momentarily stopping their choreography due to what appears to be a mic pack issue. Nayeon attempts to assist Jihyo as the song continues playing.

Meanwhile, the rest of the group tries to hold formation, but Jeongyeon and Momo accidentally bumped into each other, leading to an awkward restart of the choreography and a visibly disjointed stage.

The clip has since spread across social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with many users questioning the group’s synchronization, energy levels, and overall performance quality. While technical difficulties are common in live shows, viewers were quick to note that the moment disrupted the flow of the stage and exposed what some considered a lack of professionalism or preparedness.

did they practice in different rooms? https://t.co/bESTeBP9hH

More critically, the moment reignited comparisons to a similar situation involving BLACKPINK’s Jennie during a concert in Los Angeles. At the time, Jennie was harshly criticized for taking a brief moment to fix her mic pack mid-performance — a reaction many are now calling hypocritical given the leniency shown toward TWICE.

POV you spend a bunch of money to see twice and they’re putting 5% https://t.co/8sS8xS3BW4
