Recently, a video featuring Nayeon and Momo was released on the YouTube channel “Choo Sung-hoon.” On this day, Nayeon and Momo secretly waited in ambush at Akiyama Shingo’s home without telling him, and carried out a surprise event by appearing with a birthday cake. Seeing Nayeon and Momo come out from the room, Akiyama Shingo was surprised, but he reacted by saying, “Saran’s room is really messy, though,” which drew laughter. After that, they went outside and enjoyed a leisurely time, such as drinking draft beer from daytime. When Nayeon said, “I feel like Japanese draft beer is mellow,” Akiyama Shingo happily replied, “Yeah. Anyway, let’s drink beer,” showing a cheerful mood. Akiyama Shingo continued, laughing, “I don’t feel like I’m with women. Today it feels like I’m with men.” After that, Akiyama Shingo asked the two about their life goals. Momo answered, “Just living happily? I value enjoying this very moment the most. Because we don’t know when we’ll die,” and Akiyama Shingo, hearing this, was impressed by Momo’s spirit. ・The second promotion phase for TWICE unit MISAMO’s “RIM BY JINS” has started!
