Park Jin-young (J.Y. Park) revealed that he made a request when TWICE debuted. In the KBS 2TV program 'KBS Great Project - 30th Anniversary Special Tantala JYP' aired yesterday (16th) in Korea, TWICE members Ji-hyo, Na-young, Jung-young, Da-hyun, Chae-young, and Tzuyu appeared. Park Jin-young expressed his affection, saying, 'Everyone knows that I care for TWICE a lot, right? Honestly, the reason they are cute is not just because they are pretty, but because they have great personalities.' TWICE jokingly asked, 'What aspects are good? Please tell us in detail. We are very curious.' Park Jin-young then said, 'When they debuted, I made one request. I asked them to get along. The nine of them come from different environments, have received different educations, and have different personalities and temperaments, so it is impossible to get along. Still, they cherish and help each other. I can't even imagine how difficult that is.' He expressed admiration for TWICE, who debuted in 2015, saying, 'These kids are heading into their 10th year.' Ji-hyo remarked, 'Even so, today I am the youngest among the participants.' When Park Jin-young asked, 'What is the reason you haven't left JYP after spending ten years together?' Chae-young replied, 'I felt it again today. I am happy to be in JYP. Watching the stage today, they are seniors I really like and respect, and I knew all the songs. I thought they were cool and admirable while cheering in the waiting room.' Ji-hyo also revealed, 'I watched the rehearsal yesterday and the performance today, and I was impressed. We talked a lot about how wonderful it was.' On this day, TWICE performed special stages of 'What is Love?' and 'Feel Special' in collaboration with Park Jin-young.
