On June 14th, Korean girl group TWICE’s Taiwanese member Chou Tzuyu, who celebrated her birthday on June 14th, took to her personal official IG on the evening of June 16th to post articles in Korean, Japanese, English, and Chinese to express gratitude to her fans. She also mentioned her desire to continue improving herself and to convey positive energy to her fans.
For her birthday in 2022, Tzuyu went live on the same day to interact with her fans. She expressed that although she always felt loved, seeing birthday greetings and advertisements from many places made her feel even more deeply about the love she receives. This moved her and inspired her to express her gratitude to her fans.
On her birthday last year, as TWICE was on a North American tour, Tzuyu shared a photo of birthday greetings boards prepared by fans from around the world, saying, “Thank you very much for the blessings from everyone around the world! Once (official fan club), you always make me feel loved, but on my birthday every year, I realize how much love I receive from so many people. I am deeply grateful ♥︎. I also thank the staff around me, my members, and my family who have always been by my side, providing me with warmth and support! My birthday wish is for the people I love to be healthy and happy! I love you.”
This year, due to a scheduled event on her actual birthday, Tzuyu chose to go live on her official IG the night before her birthday. She revealed that she visited a “birthday support café” arranged by fans to celebrate her birthday. Her birthday wish this year is for the health and safety of her fans, family, and friends, as well as to create lasting memories with her fans.
On the evening of June 16th, Tzuyu shared multiple photos taken at the birthday support café (
