When you think of TWICE, you might imagine dazzling performances, sparkling outfits, and perfect synchronization. But what fans love just as much as their music are the countless funny moments that happen behind the cameras—those chaotic, unfiltered glimpses that show just how relatable these nine stars really are.
The legendary “banana phone” incident
During a variety show recording, Dahyun found a banana on the snack table and decided to use it as a pretend phone. She held it up and said, “Hello? TWICE speaking!” while the other members tried not to laugh. The joke spiraled out of control when Nayeon joined in and pretended to be the caller, turning the entire set into a comedy scene. Ever since, fans have called Dahyun the “banana operator.”
Nayeon vs. her reflection
One of the most famous moments in TWICE history happened during a hotel livestream. Nayeon caught a glimpse of herself in a dark mirror, gasped loudly, and yelled, “Who’s there?!” before realizing she was looking at her own reflection. Her overreaction had everyone—including herself—laughing uncontrollably. Fans still joke that she’s TWICE’s biggest scaredy-cat.
Momo’s eternal food obsession
Momo is legendary among ONCEs for her love of food, especially jokbal and fried chicken. Once, while filming a behind-the-scenes video, the staff asked her what she was thinking about between takes. Without hesitation, she said, “Food.” When asked again five minutes later, she replied, “Still food.” That clip became a fan meme, perfectly capturing Momo’s one-track mind.
Sana’s language mix-ups
Sana’s funny mispronunciations are pure gold. One of the most iconic was when she accidentally coined the phrase “Shy shy shy” while trying to say “Cheer up baby.” The line instantly became viral, turning into one of K-pop’s most quoted lyrics. Even years later, whenever the group performs that song, Sana winks knowingly, and fans scream the phrase in unison.
The Jeongyeon water-splash prank
Jeongyeon’s calm and caring image hides her love of pranks. During a concert rehearsal, she quietly filled a water bottle, crept behind Jihyo, and splashed her right in the middle of her dance move. Instead of getting mad, Jihyo burst out laughing, chasing Jeongyeon around the stage. The video later appeared in a behind-the-scenes episode and remains one of the most replayed clips among ONCEs.
Tzuyu’s unintentional comedy
Despite her calm image, Tzuyu often causes accidental laughter. During one fan meeting, she was asked what her favorite fruit was, but because she misheard the question, she confidently replied, “My favorite shoe is strawberry.” The members couldn’t keep straight faces, and Tzuyu simply shrugged and laughed, admitting that she didn’t quite catch the Korean pronunciation.
Jihyo’s mic mishap
As the leader, Jihyo is usually composed, but not always. During one live performance, her mic detached and dropped to the floor mid-song. Instead of panicking, she picked it up dramatically, pretended it was a rose, and danced with it before quickly fixing it. That level of professionalism mixed with humor shows exactly why she’s such a beloved leader.
Mina’s roller-coaster contradiction
Mina once claimed she loved roller coasters during an interview. A few days later, TWICE went to an amusement park to film content, and Mina screamed louder than anyone else the entire ride, clinging to Momo for dear life. When they got off, the first thing she said—still breathless—was, “I take back everything I said.”
Chaeyoung’s artistic pranks
Chaeyoung, the group’s resident artist, is known for doodling on anything she can find. Once, she drew cute faces on all the bottled waters in their dressing room. When the members came in, they noticed their drinks “staring” at them. Instead of being annoyed, they started naming the bottles as if they were new TWICE members.
The day TWICE became a marching band
During one concert rehearsal, the members decided to spice things up by pretending to be a marching band. They grabbed random props—brooms, bottles, and even microphones—and marched in formation while humming their song “TT.” It wasn’t part of the choreography, but the behind-the-scenes footage was so funny that fans begged JYP Entertainment to release it officially.
TWICE’s love for playful chaos
What makes these stories special is how naturally they happen. Whether it’s Dahyun turning random objects into props, Sana inventing new catchphrases, or Momo dancing while eating snacks, the humor never feels forced. Fans know that these moments are what make TWICE so genuine and lovable.
From laughter to lifestyle
Over time, TWICE’s behind-the-scenes humor has become a core part of their identity. ONCEs love recreating their funniest moments, sharing memes, and quoting their best lines. Some fans even design custom Twice merch inspired by these moments—like hoodies with Sana’s “Shy shy shy” printed on the back, or pins featuring Momo’s favorite foods.
When it comes to officially licensed products, though, nothing beats browsing the Twice Merch Store. It’s a haven for fans looking to own a piece of the group’s energy, from albums and accessories to collectibles. Many fans also head to the Official Twice Shop for authentic gear that represents TWICE’s bright and playful image.
And for those cozy nights spent watching concert replays or re-living chaotic live broadcasts, nothing feels better than slipping into one of the group’s comfy Twice Hoodies.
Why we love their humor
At the heart of it all, TWICE’s laughter is contagious. Their chemistry shows that no matter how famous they become, they never take themselves too seriously. These funny moments not only bring joy to fans but also reveal the deep friendship within the group—a bond built on years of shared experiences, mistakes, and inside jokes.
That’s what makes TWICE unique. They’re global superstars who can fill stadiums, yet they’re still the same nine girls who once laughed until they cried over a banana phone. Whether you’re a longtime ONCE or a new listener, their sense of humor makes it impossible not to smile.
