TWICE's Momo once told a hilarious anecdote from her past and it'll definitely make you hoot with laughter.
Once, Momo was left alone at home when her mom went out. The female idol narrated that she was sleeping at the time. She was in deep sleep when her mother came back, but the latter couldn't reach the house lock because the door had been closed. She tried to knock at the door to wake Momo up, but to no avail.
"For an hour she kept knocking at the door," Momo said.
Her mother stood constantly knocking but she wouldn't budge. She also tried to call and text Momo but she still wasn't waking up, which prompted her mother to suspect that something terribly wrong must have happened.
"And my mother thought maybe something had happened to me at home. She stayed for 2-3 hours outside our home," Momo shared.
The officials were notified and people started to emerge from their homes to see what was going on. Suddenly the situation has turned into a massive scene.
"And there was an ambulance, [firefighters] and police officers. My neighbors all came out there," she went on.
The officials used a megaphone to call Momo's name. Initially, she still did not respond. That was when the cops activated their sense of urgency. They broke the locks of their house and ran to find out what was going on, only to find Momo lying on her bed.
"I asked what happened, as soon as I woke up," Momo said.
Momo immediately had to go out to explain and apologize to the huge number of people who were worried about her and to those people involved.
Momo said it was all out of guilt and shame, but at least everyone knows that when you have to hit Momo, you should also wait until she wakes up.
