TWICE’s Mina is under fire after viral clips showed her dancing at the group’s latest Seoul concert.
The controversy began after fans shared videos from TWICE’s sixth world tour, THIS IS FOR, highlighting performances from the weekend’s two shows. Mina’s dancing during “Feel Special” sparked criticism. Many said she looked sluggish and lacked energy compared to other members. Some accused her of showing little to no stage presence.
Another clip of Mina during “Dance The Night Away” also gained attention, fueling the debate.

The backlash divides fans. Some defend Mina, pointing to the grueling demands of a concert. Others say idols should keep their energy up no matter what.
“Como era??
‘El primer concierto y ya están cansadas’
‘Eso bb, no nos des nada’
‘Es una perezosa’
‘Se nota que detesta a su grupo’
‘Que pena por sus fans ver algo tan mediocre’
Recuerdan otro más???”— 𝐄𝐥𝐢𝐫𝐢𝐚 (@eliria_bp)
“genuinely insane to me how a ten year old group lacks stage presence like this. and its not even one or two member its all of them too..”

“The only thing that’s saving them is the amount of members. If 4 twice members were on the stage alone like blackpink with THIS energy and dead expressions, they would look horrible.”

This comes hot on the heels of a similar controversy around BLACKPINK’s Jennie, who faced backlash after a viral clip showed her barely dancing during a concert in LA. Jennie was seen adjusting her mic pack, but the clip sparked calls of a “lazy performance.”
Fans are now questioning if these tour demands are too harsh, stressing idols’ physical and mental limits. While some continue to express disappointment, others plead for more empathy toward performers juggling long shows.
