2019 may be one of TWICE's most challenging year with the series of controversies that they have been facing lately. Following Mina's health issues, dating news and rumors came in tow.

However, TWICE seems to be coming out of it strong because of their legions of fans all over the world - ONCE.

Korean media recently commended TWICE's fans for showing "maturity" and massive support for the group especially when Jihyo and Kang Daniel's dating news came out.

Translated by misayeon:

For idol groups romance rumors can be fatal and it’s easy to find fans who quit the fandom after they surface, but TWICE’s fandom ‘ONCE’ is different. Most fans said “Jihyo’s happiness is most important” and will support her to the end. Fueled by ONCE’s solid trust, TWICE continues on without change.

Majority of TWICE's supporters stood strong and rallied on social media since Mina's temporary leave for treatment and recovery even until Jihyo and Kang Daniel's dating news and rumors linking Momo and Super Junior's Heechul broke. 

Despite the controversies, TWICE and ONCE remain unstoppable. Further proving that ONCE, as a fandom, is more intact than ever and that their priority will always be TWICE's welfare and happiness, the album sales of Asia's One Top Girl Group continues to soar. 

TWICE's most recent Japanese release "Breakthrough" just surpassed 270,000 sales in Oricon making it eligible now for the group's 8th platinum certification. In addition, their concert DVD topped Hanteo Album Chart yesterday.
