TWICE Nayeon's 'Disastrous' Mistranslation to Tzuyu's Post Sends ONCEs Flying
The fandom is currently losing it over Nayeon's hilarious Instagram mishap!
On February 27, TWICE's youngest member Tzuyu uploaded several photos of her posing during the behind-the-scenes filming of "ONE SPARK." The maknae, clad in a lavish silk dress, boldly flaunted her gorgeous visuals and refined proportions.
TWICE members are also long known for their close relationship with one another, as all nine members have formed a special bond ever since their trainee days to their debut in 2015.
Nayeon, the oldest member and the unnie of the group, decided to praise Tzuyu by complimenting her visuals. The "POP!" singer didn't hesitate to comment on Tzuyu's lovely post by saying, "You are so pretty!" in Korean.
However, Instagram's auto-translator didn't let the compliment shine as it was intended since the English translation came off as "You're a piece of s**t!"
