On July 3 KST, in the r/kpoprants community, the fan shared their experience of meeting Jihyo and Nayeon at a clothing store in Chicago after attending TWICE's Ready To Be world tour.
According to the user, when they approached Jihyo and expressed their admiration for the concert, they received what they perceived as a "dirty look" and a condescending "thank you."
Fan Shares Alleged 'Worst' Encounter With TWICE Jihyo
Overwhelmed by the alleged encounter, the fan experienced deep distress and sought solace by expressing their emotions online through a detailed post.
Read what the fan posted below.
“The day after the concert (today) I went to supreme the clothing store because my sister wanted a gift when I came back and as I was browsing I literally felt my whole body shake when I noticed Jihyo and Nayeon in the store with their entourage.
I told myself to not die and keep it cool. They were dressed chill with no makeup on and I know they were probably super tired from touring plus all the projects they were working on.
So I decided that I would tell them that I loved their concert yesterday and was a fan.I immediately left and tried to not die of embarrassment. I felt less than human and all it took was for her to look at me a certain way.
My cousin was with me and witnessed the whole thing. She was mad at the situation and had a huge problem with it but I really didn’t want her to not like twice so I told her she was probably having a bad day.
Anyways now I’m on my way home, I couldn’t forget the situation so I’m writing this post hoping that I could get it out and move on …”

ONCEs from Twitter also shared their sentiments on the alleged rudeness circulating in that online forum.
Jihyo is a literal angel. She would NEVER be rude to someone even if someone is rude to her. She’s the one who always says to spread kindness even if you are hurt by their harsh words. She has a reputation for being a sweetie. pic.twitter.com/3s434x1fzL

It’s not even true so why buy into it. Jihyo is not that kind of person. Instead of wondering if or why Jihyo was “rude” (which she wasn’t) you should question the validity of it since that fuckass post has NO proof and question if op did something bad to her https://t.co/5w9VdZ1XNb
