Sana from TWICE just dropped some super heartfelt messages on Bubble that have fans feeling all the emotions—and lowkey stressing about the group’s future. Right after wrapping up their world tour, the Japanese idol opened up about how much TWICE and ONCE mean to her, reflecting on the journey in a way that felt both grateful and a little bittersweet. With contract renewal talks heating up and rumors swirling about other members, it’s no wonder people are reading between the lines.

In her messages, Sana shared how she believes joining TWICE was one of the best decisions she’s ever made. She talked about all the special moments that shaped them as a group and how ONCEs always remind her of that when she forgets. She thanked fans, the members, and staff for making the recent tour possible, calling it something that brought her real happiness. She even joked about her tears “trying to escape again” while writing, showing just how moved she was.

She went on to emphasize how precious ONCEs are to her, making her feel special, and reaffirmed her love for TWICE—the members are like friends, family, and partners all in one. It’s the kind of raw appreciation that hits hard after a long tour, when emotions are already running high from saying goodbye to stages for a bit.

Many ONCEs saw it as a beautiful thank-you note, the perfect cap to an amazing world tour. But others couldn’t shake the timing. With reports about Tzuyu possibly leaving JYP, Chaeyoung meeting other agencies, and similar speculation around Jihyo and Jeongyeon, Sana’s words felt extra loaded. The emotional concert moments in Seoul, where several members teared up, only added to the anxiety. Fans are wondering if this signals bigger shifts ahead as the group navigates the next chapter after over a decade together.

TWICE has always been known for their strong bond and incredible longevity in an industry where groups often disband or fade after a few years. Nine members from different backgrounds coming together and staying cohesive is rare. Contract renewals are a natural point for reflection—solo activities, personal goals, and life changes come into play. It’s normal, but that doesn’t make it any less emotional for fans who grew up with them.

Sana’s messages, whether intentional or not, tap into that fear of losing the magic. She’s been vocal about her love for the group before, and this feels like a reaffirmation more than a farewell. Still, in K-pop, subtle hints and timing get dissected endlessly. The “I still love TWICE so much” line especially stood out to some as reassurance amid uncertainty.

The bigger picture is that TWICE has evolved beautifully. From cute concepts to more mature, empowering vibes, they’ve grown with their fans. Members have pursued solos, acting, and other passions while keeping group activities strong. Whatever happens with contracts, the priority for most ONCEs is seeing them happy and continuing to create, whether as nine or in new formations.

JYP hasn’t dropped full details yet, but these discussions are standard around the 7-year mark and beyond. Some members staying with the agency for group stuff while exploring elsewhere is common now. The key will be how they balance individual dreams with the TWICE identity that means so much to so many.

Sana’s words ultimately feel like love—gratitude for the past and present, with hope for whatever comes next. Tours are exhausting but bonding, and wrapping one often brings reflection. Her tears and affection show how deeply she cares, which is why fans are protective and emotional too.

As ONCEs process this, the focus should stay on supporting the members through whatever decisions they make. TWICE has given us so many iconic moments, and their legacy isn’t going anywhere. Sana reminding everyone (including herself) of that bond is beautiful, even if it stirs worries.

K-pop journeys are long and full of chapters. This might be another transition period, but the heart of TWICE—the friendship, music, and connection with fans—has always been resilient. Sana’s messages, emotional as they were, ultimately reinforce that love. Whatever the future holds, ONCEs will likely be there cheering them on.

The group has proven time and again they can adapt and thrive. Here’s hoping the renewals bring exciting new eras while preserving what makes TWICE special. For now, Sana’s heartfelt thank you is a reminder to cherish every moment with the girls we love.
