ONCEs Trend #RESPECTTZUYU as TWICE Tzuyu is Excluded From '#TWICE4' DVD Making Video
On March 18, several Japanese ONCEs took to social media to call out JYP Entertainment for excluding TWICE member Tzuyu from the "#TWICE4" DVD Music Video Making that shows the process of filming the Japanese version of "MORE & MORE."
Many pointed out that while Tzuyu was in the group shots, she was the only group member not to get a solo shot. All the other eight members got a solo shot, and Momo got two solo shots.

Sadly, Tzuyu's mother also saw the video. She took to Twitter and revealed how dumbfounded she was over the situation. She questioned how a big company could make such a severe mistake.
Several ONCEs rallied to show their support for Tzuyu. One ONCE told Tzuyu's mother, "We are so sorry you have to see this. We will do everything to make sure JYP Entertainment fixes this."
Many are demanding JYP Entertainment remedy the situation, stating that TWICE will always be nine members. In addition, many slammed the company for profiting off nine members but continued to neglect one or more members.
People also noted that JYP Entertainment had made several mistakes concerning Tzuyu for their Japanese promotion. For example, they noted that they had misspelled her name in the past. There were also times when they would post the other eight members but excluded Tzuyu.
