These news/fansites are so close to them it is way too dangerous 2) They're literally squeezing and pushing the other girls like Jihyo just to get close 3) They're not helping TWICE feel comfortable in public at all." Another user noted, "And even though she’s fine now, Mina still has anxiety so I can only imagine what this was like for her.
