According to Momo, she suddenly had to have a tooth removed while in Chicago and later apologized to fans through a communication platform, saying that the left side of her face was still swollen.
He explained that he had suffered severe tooth pain during the Chicago concert, to the point that he couldn’t sleep. After visiting a local dentist, he learned that a previously treated nerve area had worsened. Under normal circumstances, she would have returned to Korea for proper treatment, but due to her busy tour schedule, immediate travel was not possible.
Momo shared that the situation originally wasn’t serious enough to require extraction, but due to time constraints and the need to continue performing, she ultimately made the difficult decision. He admitted that he did not want to remove the tooth but had no other choice given the circumstances. He also said that further treatment, including a possible implant, will need to be done after returning to Korea.
Following the news, fans expressed concern in online communities, with many commenting on the harsh conditions idols face during global tours. Reactions like “It must have been extremely painful for her to make that decision,” AND “His health should come first” reflected growing concern among fans.
TWICE is currently in the midst of a large-scale world tour spanning Korea, Japan, Southeast Asia, the Americas and Europe. The demanding schedule, which involves constant travel between countries and cities, makes it difficult for members to adequately manage their health and recovery.
Recent health problems among members have further intensified concerns. Dahyun had previously stopped activities due to a broken ankle, while Chaeyoung also missed some programs due to poor condition. With Momo’s situation now added to the list, fans are increasingly expressing concerns about the overall intensity of the group’s schedule.
