In an episode of JTBC‘s Carefree Travellers, Jihyo shared that since she became a trainee at such a young age, she couldn’t travel with her family or make memories as a student.

It makes me sad that I have no memories of my school days. I had to go straight to training after classes, so I was envious of friends going out to eat tteokbokki or hit a karaoke together after school.

When asked if she ever considered quitting at some point, Jihyo honestly shared that she considered quitting when the group she was supposed to debut in disbanded.

Right before I debuted, I wanted to quit. Before TWICE, there was this team that I was a part of. When that team disbanded, I just wanted to give up.

2. Dahyun and Momo speaking on dieting

In a live broadcast, Dahyun and Momo spoke about dieting as trainees and how intense it was. The two shared that they cried a lot because of how tough the dieting was.

Their agency (JYP Entertainment) had strict guidelines on trainees losing weight every day!

While Dahyun appreciates how she looks now, she doesn’t like looking back on dieting as a trainee because of the unpleasant memories.

Momo then laughingly spoke about when she was banned from the trainee cafeteria and had to sneak in and eat other trainees’ food!

3. Sana revealing that she nearly gave up on becoming an idol

Before Sana debuted, she appeared in GOT7‘s “A” music video.
