Netizens were left in stitches after a Japanese journalist from the outlet Chosun Sinbo took to Twitter on May 7 with some eyebrow-raising claims concerning a member of TWICE and LE SSERAFIM's Kazuha.

The journalist, known for his coverage of entertainment and sports, alleged that a TWICE member had made "demands" following the publication of a now-deleted article about Kazuha and a Japanese baseball player.

In his tweet, the journalist suggested that the TWICE member had insisted on keeping Kazuha out of discussions, declaring:

"I will protect Kazuha at all costs."

However, the tweet also drew attention for its unexpected inclusion of the baseball player, Ryuki Watarai, leaving netizens scratching their heads over the seemingly random connection.

A TWICE member has demanded me to “leave Kazuha out of your mouth, and said that “I will protect Kazuha at all costs”

I apologise from the bottom of my heart to LE SSERAFIM, Kazuha Nakamura, Ryuki Watarai, and everyone who was mentioned in my incorrect post, which was deleted
