The move was intended to criticize the company’s treatment of the idol, but it has since sparked heated backlash from other parts of the TWICE fandom.

On the protest trucks, fans expressed their frustration over what they see as unfair treatment. The messages included complaints such as Mina receiving only three seconds of solo screen time in TWICE’s latest music video, and demands for more solo activities and support for her acting career.

  • Mina only had 3 seconds of solo screen time in the new MV
  • Stop making comebacks that turn Mina into a background character
  • Division 3 must guarantee Mina’s acting career
  • Guarantee more solo activities for the popular member Mina
  • No promotions for Mina, the most popular member in China
  • Stop the excessive favoritism toward specific members
  • Improve the mismatched makeup and lazy hairstyles
  • Style Mina in a way that highlights her strengths and image
  • Is the official TWICE account an anti-fan of Mina?
  • Why do you keep ignoring Mina’s solo activities and advertisement content?
  • A company that wastes an artist’s talent and time does not deserve a contract renewal
  • JYPE, which fails to respect the artist’s efforts and recognize her abilities, will have to face the consequences

However, what shocked many the most was the decision to send funeral wreaths to JYP’s building. The wreaths carried even stronger-worded messages than the trucks.

  • The reason we’ve gathered here today is to mourn JYPE.
  • JYPE treats a popular member like a background character and gives her minimal screen time.
  • The TWICE account managers discriminate, and the promotional distribution is seriously unfair.
  • JYPE’s favoritism is blatant, and everyone knows it.
  • Fans are not ATMs and idols are not hostages.
  • Are you going to keep deceiving fans like this?
  • Do you think fans are fools?
  • Lowest ranked among the Big 4 companies, JYPE is incompetent and greedy.
  • With no personal career plans in place, JYPE isn’t worth renewing a contract with.
  • A company that wastes an artist’s talent and time is a corrupt business.
  • A company that neither respects nor acknowledges its artists, JYPE, should go down as soon as possible.

While the intention behind the protest was to push for better treatment of Mina, many fans of the group felt the actions went too far. Some labeled the protest as “disrespectful,” accusing the fans of overstepping boundaries by speaking for Mina without her consent.
