TWICE's Sana shared a funny but honest story about the time she thought about secretly flying home with fellow member Momo.

On the May 20 episode of SBS’s variety show Whenever We Get a Chance, TWICE’s Jihyo and Sana appeared as special guests. The two idols brought laughter with their stories and bright energy.

Jihyo and Sana joined hosts Yoo Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok as “gap friends” for the show. Jihyo mentioned seeing Yoo Jae Seok at concerts before, saying, “We always run into each other at concerts. You even go to other idols’ shows!” Yoo Jae Seok laughed, confirming, “That’s true.”

Yoo Yeon Seok revealed it was his first time meeting the two TWICE members. But Jihyo surprised him by saying, “I’ve actually seen you before. A long time ago at a birthday party.” Yoo Yeon Seok smiled and recalled, “Oh, Seulong’s birthday party, right?” Yoo Jae Seok joked, “Jihyo really knows everyone. She’s a social butterfly.”

When Yoo Yeon Seok asked how Sana got her start, she explained, “I was cast and got invited to audition. After the audition, the company called my parents and asked, ‘Would you let your daughter go to Korea?’ At first, they said yes. But once we got home, they were unsure and said, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t go.’”

Sana also talked about how she wasn’t close with Jihyo back then. “Jihyo was close to debuting and even had separate lessons,” she said. “I couldn’t really talk to her because I didn’t speak Korean well.” Jihyo agreed, saying, “We couldn’t even have a conversation in the beginning.”

Sana then shared a moment that made everyone laugh. “There was a time I thought about secretly going home at dawn,” she said. “I even thought about how to quietly pull my suitcase out. But the company had our passports. I would’ve had to break in and get them, so it didn’t work out. If I could have, I would’ve left. Momo and I planned to go together.”

Fans praised the idols for their honesty and humor, showing once again why TWICE is so loved by many.
