Internet forum DC Inside (commonly referred to as DC) recently shared a post concerning TWICE that has been garnering much attention. The post talks about an 'uncle fan' that goes by 'Hoing~' on a Lineage server and it gained traction for its content, showing pictures of expensive brand name goods that he supposedly gifted TWICE members at a fan signing event. 


Though the brand names aren't specifically mentioned and are only denoted by the first letters of the brands such as 'L' and 'C,' you can see through the pictures that the purses are from the luxury brand 'Louis Vuitton.' Perhaps the 'C' stands for 'Chanel'?

The post has then since spread like wildfire through the internet, popping on various other online communities under the title of 'TWICE fan makes an offering to rookie girl group.' As the news of the fan's expensive gifts to TWICE spread online, some of the information was misrepresented. As the time of the gifts overlapped with Sana's birthday, it was falsely reported that 'Hoing~' spent 10 million KRW (~$8,400 USD) on Sana alone. 


'Hoing~' cleared up the misunderstandings and false rumors, saying, "I didn't give the gifts just to Sana nor did I give them for her birthday. Considering the members' ages, I gifted them with the least expensive brand name goods. I didn't only give them expensive presents." 


Regardless of who he meant the gifts for, $8,400 is no small amount. What's certain is that 'Hoing~' must be a really, really really big fan of TWICE.
