In a post, K-netizens raised their brows after knowing that Nayeon and Mina are not luxury brand ambassadors among TWICE members.
On January 21, an internet user took to the online Korean community, theqoo, to list the TWICE members who are currently serving as ambassadors for fashion luxury brands, either globally or locally.
Among nine members, K-pop enthusiasts and netters were shocked at how few members were mentioned, and they were most surprised that the two most popular members Nayeon and Mina weren't included.
Here Are Only TWICE Members With Luxury Brand Ambassadorships
In the article which has over 53k views now, only three TWICE members were listed, such as Momo, Sana and Chaeyoung.
Starting with Momo and Chaeyoung, they are ambassadors in Japan for luxury brands, Miu Miu and Etro, respectively.
Sana then took first place among TWICE members with the most high-end brand ambassadorships, including Prada, Yves Saint Laurent Beauty (Japan) and Graff, to which she became the first Japan ambassador.

Upon seeing this, K-pop fans, especially ONCEs are amazed at how the three idols' images suit the respective luxury brands that they are representing and left comments such as:
- "Momo, Miu Miu looks good on you."
- "Sana for Prada is so pretty."
- "Sana is really doing well, she's so classy and pretty."
- "They are really popular in Japan. Also, Chaeyoung goes well with Etro."
- "Sana expresses 'luxury' so well."
- "I haven't heard of Graff, but it seems to be a very expensive brand."
- "Wow, Graff? It is even more expensive than Hermes."
- "Etro really does suit Chaeyoung."
Netizens Shocked Nayeon & Mina Aren't Luxury Brand Ambassadors
As netizens continue to praise the three members, some ONCEs expressed frustration since only three members are luxury brand ambassadors, and all of them also represent Japan and not Korea.
As all nine members flaunt top-tier visuals, elegance and class, web commenters voiced out that the list got fewer members than they expected.
Among the expected members to appear on the list were Nayeon and Mina. In particular, Nayeon often wore Louis Vuitton and even attended their fashion show, thus fans were certain at the time that Nayeon would be tapped as an ambassador.
While fans thought she was, Nayeon is actually not but has been modeling only for the fashion house.
Mina, who also wears Fendi most of the time also confused netizens as to why she isn't representing a luxury brand yet as an ambassador.
- "Surprisingly, Mina and Nayeon are not here."
- "Oh, Mina and Nayeon are not representing anything?"
- "Isn't Nayeon an ambassador for Louis Vuitton?"
- "Nayeon only posts Louis Vuitton on her Instagram, but I'm surprised she's not an ambassador."
As a result, netizens criticized JYP Entertainment for not doing its job properly and getting the members their well-deserved brand ambassadorship.
- "Why don't you make Nayeon a brand ambassador for Louis Vuitton? Among female idols, when you think of the brand, she's the first one who will come to mind."
- "It feels like JYP is not actively working to make the members ambassadors of these brands."
- "It's important for the agency to come forward and work hard to get the job, but I guess they're not doing that at all."
