Mina's concert blouse was allegedly stolen and sold online, leading to fans' outrage and a statement from the event organizers.
Here's what happened.
TWICE Mina's Blouse Allegedly Stolen & Sold Online + Concert Organizers Address Matter
From September 30 to October 1, TWICE held their "READY TO BE" world tour at the Philippine Arena in Bulacan, Philippines.
The seller also concluded the shirt was legit since it didn't contain Mina's signature.
Read their conversation below:
Buyer: "Starting price? It's preferable in a bidding if it was already worn by the artist as advertised, with proof like signed."
Seller: "It's legit that was worn (by Mina). There are no prices yet, that's why I'm stating an offer. The shirt was left alone when they departed, that's why it has no signature from Mina. But that's what she really wore."
Seller: "There are eight of those, but the other seven (shirts) were acquired by one of our colleagues. This was the only lucky one that ended up with me."
Buyer: "I hope you won't mind, but is there proof that you're affiliated with the event organizer, or as you mentioned, are you truly a staff so that others are aware?
Seller: "Yeah, I have proof. But I can't disclose information easily and it's private."
UPDATE: ALL 8 SHIRTS PALA KINUHA WTFFFFF

Meanwhile, the event organizers broke silence on October 11, and reinforced that the item being sold was fake. Live Nation PH also warned everyone not to engage in any selling activities regarding items with unverified legitimacy.
The organizers also addressed the ones responsible for creating the ruckus. They claimed that Live Nation PH has no staff members who are able to access and acquire these items.
A thorough and careful examination of the production staff manifest has already been done, and it has been confirmed that no individual by the name of Red Menzz or Jerome Magante had any access nor passes for the TWICE 5TH WORLD TOUR "READY TO BE" in Bulacan. We strongly urge… https://t.co/fE0HGXo8Yz

This is fake. Please be vigilant in engaging with individuals selling and claiming legitimacy of items like this, as no one has access to these items not even the LNPH staff.
