In a recent appearance on Super Junior’s YouTube talk show, “DNE comment ‘Hey, Come Here’,” (G)I-DLE’s Minnie and Yuqi delved into their thoughts about the upcoming contract renewal period.

The candid conversation shed light on their expectations from Cube Entertainment.

Eunhyuk initiated the discussion by asking about the contract expiration date, to which Yuqi replied, “We have one year left.” Donghae chimed in, advising them to start discussions promptly.

Yuqi playfully added, “That’s why when we visit the label these days, we sit back and relax.”

Curious about contract negotiations, Yuqi sought advice from her seniors, Donghae and Eunhyuk. Donghae inquired if the (G)I-DLE members had any specific wishes from the company.

Minnie and Yuqi didn’t hold back in sharing their desires for the contract renewal.

Minnie emphasized a “(bigger) percentage,” while Yuqi revealed that Cube Entertainment treats them well, partly due to their playful banter.

When asked about the jokes they made, Yuqi explained, “We’d say, ‘There’s only a year and a half left,’ and humorously add, 'Our stock prices plummeted after that. They warned us, ‘If you don’t mean it, don’t say it anymore.’”

Korean netizens weighed in:

"Looks like they’re leaning toward renewing their contracts.”

“Are they really renewing?”

“Time flies—it’s been 7 years since (G)I-DLE’s debut.”

“Glad to hear they’re treated well.”

“Cube should continue treating them well.”

“My bet is they’ll stay with Cube.”

TWICE's Sana shared a funny but honest story about the time she thought about secretly flying home with fellow member Momo.

On the May 20 episode of SBS’s variety show Whenever We Get a Chance, TWICE’s Jihyo and Sana appeared as special guests. The two idols brought laughter with their stories and bright energy.

Jihyo and Sana joined hosts Yoo Jae Seok and Yoo Yeon Seok as “gap friends” for the show. Jihyo mentioned seeing Yoo Jae Seok at concerts before, saying, “We always run into each other at concerts. You even go to other idols’ shows!” Yoo Jae Seok laughed, confirming, “That’s true.”

Yoo Yeon Seok revealed it was his first time meeting the two TWICE members. But Jihyo surprised him by saying, “I’ve actually seen you before. A long time ago at a birthday party.” Yoo Yeon Seok smiled and recalled, “Oh, Seulong’s birthday party, right?” Yoo Jae Seok joked, “Jihyo really knows everyone. She’s a social butterfly.”

When Yoo Yeon Seok asked how Sana got her start, she explained, “I was cast and got invited to audition. After the audition, the company called my parents and asked, ‘Would you let your daughter go to Korea?’ At first, they said yes. But once we got home, they were unsure and said, ‘Maybe you shouldn’t go.’”

Sana also talked about how she wasn’t close with Jihyo back then. “Jihyo was close to debuting and even had separate lessons,” she said. “I couldn’t really talk to her because I didn’t speak Korean well.” Jihyo agreed, saying, “We couldn’t even have a conversation in the beginning.”

Sana then shared a moment that made everyone laugh. “There was a time I thought about secretly going home at dawn,” she said. “I even thought about how to quietly pull my suitcase out. But the company had our passports. I would’ve had to break in and get them, so it didn’t work out. If I could have, I would’ve left. Momo and I planned to go together.”

Fans praised the idols for their honesty and humor, showing once again why TWICE is so loved by many.
