TWICE Sana’s “Worrying” Comments About JYP Entertainment Rules Sparks Divided Reactions
TWICE Sana‘s recent comments about JYP Entertainment have sparked divided reactions.
Sana recently appeared on Pink Cabinet with ILLIT‘s Minju.
During the video, they were discussing driver’s licenses, and Sana revealed she got it not because she wanted to drive a car.
The idol revealed that the company keeps her passport and alien registration card because she is a foreigner.
She added that it’s for leaving the country without issues, but it caused problems when she went out and needed ID.
Because she didn’t have any proof of idenfitication, Sana had to search herself online, which was why she got a license to act as her ID.
The clip was shared online.

Many fans found it weird and suspicious that a company would hold someone’s ID, with many sparking concerns about JYP Entertainment not trusting someone as senior as Sana to keep their passport.
an employer holding their employee’s passport and ID is fucked up wtf why is everyone treating this as quirky or funny https://t.co/tlP59amTJP

this isn’t sitting right with me. why does the company keep her passport and ARC? it’s (apparently) illegal to not to carry your id. i couldn’t imagine my employer being in possession of my passport and ARC… https://t.co/ORgBwu3PfS

crazy that even though they are basically seniors in the industry their passports are still being held by the company like i understand why that would be necessary in some cases but it’s also so iffy to me because isn’t the contract w the company already enough legal obligation https://t.co/MUo8saoWMv

Yet, some defended the actions, explaining that it was done for safety and efficiency due to how long it could take to replace, which could impact any sudden or planned overseas schedules.
for anyone questioning why this gets done: if they get robbed or lose the id it could mean that they cannot travel or be a legal citizen for like 8+ weeks. as it takes way longer to get new passports issued when you are abroad and are not just traveling https://t.co/xiIiSaVK3q

People in the qrts don’t seem to understand that companies like JYP keep those passports for ease of travel (when managing flights abroad) and there’s also a matter of security because there’s been instances of idols losing their passports while its in their possession https://t.co/Hu4jiHnKWi
