Former CLC Elkie Reveals TWICE Tzuyu's Real Feelings Regarding Hate Over Their Friendship
Back on February 6, 2024, EToday released an exclusive interview with ex-CLC Elkie. During the interview, she discussed her recent activities, future plans, and her friendship with TWICE's visual maknae, Tzuyu.
Recently, their friendship has been the center of attention after both Elkie and Tzuyu shared photos of the two enjoying a spa day together in January 2022.
The interview revealed that at the end of 2023, Tzuyu returned to Taiwan with several TWICE members early for her annual vacation. While on vacation, she made plans to meet up with Elkie.
During TWICE's trip to Taiwan in the past, they had initially planned to hang out together locally. However, due to conflicting schedules, they couldn't meet up. Elkie expressed regret over not being able to travel together.
Despite that, she kept a positive attitude, saying, "They had a lot of fun experiences, and they said they want to come again next time."
Elkie has known Tzuyu for eight years, and throughout their friendship, she has endured continuous attacks from malicious netizens. Though it may have hurt her in the past, Elkie now maintains a calm attitude, saying, "It seems like I can't stop the haters from talking. I just share my life. I won't bring it up, but if asked, I will answer."
