In a candid and heartfelt moment, TWICE's Nayeon has shared her thoughts on the significance of making new friends during a recent video upload on the 'TWICE' YouTube channel.

The video, titled 'JIHYO Album-log "Zyo's Zone.Zip EP.04," made its appearance on the popular channel on the 7th of September, offering fans a glimpse into the lives of their beloved TWICE members.

In the video, Jihyo, another member of the K-pop sensation TWICE, had just wrapped up her final performance of 'Killin' Me Good' and was headed to a gathering with fellow members, including Nayeon.

Nayeon greeted Jihyo warmly, acknowledging her hard work during her recent activities.

However, the conversation took an unexpected turn as Jihyo shared her post-performance exhaustion, admitting, "I feel like I just came back from a tour, and I can't adapt to the time difference. I'm having a meal now."

She went on to explain, "I did get some sleep, but because I stayed up almost all night, I couldn't recharge."

During the mealtime discussion, Nayeon disclosed her recent contemplations about the importance of expanding her circle of friends. She expressed, "Lately, I've been thinking that I need to make more friends."

She elaborated, "Because I've really rested a lot. If I say I have 3-4 friends, some of them are overseas, some are working, some are traveling. So, there's no one to have a meal with."

Jihyo empathized with Nayeon's sentiment, adding, "That's true. I also have a day off on Tuesdays, but it's been so long since I've seen my friends that I've contacted everyone. There's not a single person available. I suddenly felt a bit abandoned."

She candidly confessed, "I'm not saying this because I'm shooting, but being a solo artist was really tough. It was really hard."

Nayeon's heartfelt confession about the need for companionship resonates with many, shedding light on the personal challenges and feelings of isolation that artists, even those as celebrated as the members of TWICE, may experience in the entertainment industry.

Fans and supporters are sure to appreciate Nayeon's vulnerability and openness, further cementing her bond with the TWICE fandom as they eagerly await more glimpses into the lives of their favorite K-pop idols.

He expressed frustration over the customer service process, sharing that he had contacted support multiple times for help. Despite talking to a representative for over an hour, the issue wasn’t resolved.

Things only got worse when he was told he would be connected to another representative, only for it to be the same department. He admitted, “I was mentally crushed” after realizing the lack of progress. While he acknowledged that the customer service staff was working hard, he couldn’t help but feel that the system was too weak to handle such incidents.

Fortunately, after two days of struggle, the situation was finally resolved. Kim Jae Joong confirmed that his account was closed and deleted, and luckily, no financial loss occurred. “It was truly a terrifying day,” he shared, relieved that the problem was fixed.

Despite the scary experience, Kim Jaejoong continues to thrive in other areas of his career.
