The TWICE members got candid on how they take care of their mental health despite being K-pop idols.
On May 21, 2024, TWICE sat down for an interview with Teen Vogue. During the interview, the girls of TWICE spoke honestly about how they juggle their K-pop stardom and mental health, and how their mentality changed over the years.
Nayeon commented that she and the other TWICE members are completely different on-stage and off-stage. As a regular person, there is a limit to how much energy they can use. However, as idols, there is no such limit; they muster all that they can on the stage.
Sana recalled that during their debut era, she would often downplay how stressful life was. When asked if she was tired or busy, she would reply that she is not tired and that they aren't that busy.
Now, she has learned to express herself better when she is tired. She often wonders why she would say the opposite of how she felt back in the day.
Momo revealed that during concerts, she likes to give it her all. However, she knows when to wind down. Once she is off-stage, she takes it easy and relaxes after.
Jeongyeon agreed, saying she is trying to be more generous with herself. She confesses that it doesn't always work, but she is trying her best to be kinder to herself.
As K-pop idols, they are always under the watchful eye of the public. They receive love from their loyal ONCEs, but also scrutiny from extremely harsh critics. However, Jihyo revealed that having nine members helps them share the burden of receiving so much attention.
She revealed that the members are thankful for each other, noting that TWICE always pushes on as a team of nine and that the vibe between the members is good. Because of their shared goal and love for each other, they have become a lot closer.
Earlier this year, TWICE returned to their "Ready to Be" tour, performing in Las Vegas' Allegiant Stadium. In February, TWICE achieved their first number-one entry on the Billboard 200 chart with "With YOU-th."
