Phenomenal K-pop group, TWICE, recently concluded their visit in the Philippines over the weekend for their highly-anticipated “Snacktacular Fan Meet” with Oishi on Saturday, June 1, at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Not only did they bond with Filipino ONCES, but also waved hello to Philippine media in a press conference and talked about their Philippine experience last year, newly learned Tagalog words, and thoughts about their partnership with the local snack brand, Oishi.
They graced the afternoon with their cool Oishi jersey and held their Oishi plushes, which added to the cuteness of the members.
Together with them was renowned TV Host Robi Domingo who perfectly represented the delight of Filipino ONCEs with TWICE’s return in the Philippines, just eight months after their sold-out concert, “Ready to Be in Bulacan,” last September 30 and October 1 at the Philippine Arena.
Check out TWICE’s memorable afternoon in their press conference before their “Snacktacular Fan Meet” last Saturday, June 1.

New Tagalog Words
When asked about their newly learned Tagalog words, Momo immediately answered, “Maganda si Jihyo.”

‘Mina also bragged about her new expression, “Ay, naku talaga!”
Oishi
TWICE shared that some of their favorite Oishi snacks arethe Spicy Prawn Crackers, Pillows, and Miggos.
Vacation
Jihyo shared that she would love to have the chance to visit the Philippines again and enjoy the sandy beaches and snorkeling activities
like how she did with her family when they visited the country in 2019. She also would like to try the world-famous dessert, halo-halo.
Momo and Jeongyeon
Meanwhile, Momo said that if there were a chance, she would love to visit all the ‘hot’ and popular food places in the Philippines.
But if she has to choose only one member to do it with, it would be Jeongyeon because “it would be fun.”
21:29
One member of the press asked what song they would dedicate to ONCE, and said it would be their b-side track from their 8th mini-album Feel Special, entitled “21:29.”
9th anniversary
Tzuyu shared that they already have a reserved restaurant for the celebration of their upcoming 9th anniversary this October,
especially since they have such hectic schedules and it has been hard for them to bond as a group.
Billboard Hot 100
Speaking of their achievements, the members looked back on their milestone of being in the Billboard 200 Charts and said that they now aim to prepare
“cooler, fresher, and better” music to reach the number one spot on Billboard Hot 100.
