'This makes sense…' TWICE Momo undergoes dental extraction even during a world tour amid 'overwork controversy'
Twice Momo / My Daily[My Daily = Reporter Han So-hee] TWICE member Momo has directly shared the news that she had a tooth extracted during the world tour, causing concern among fans.
Through a recent fan communication platform, Momo said, "I suddenly had to have a tooth pulled in Chicago," adding, "Not long after the extraction, the left side of my face is still swollen. Please understand if I look swollen."
She explained that during the Chicago performance, she was unable to sleep because of severe tooth pain, and visited a local dentist the next day. The examination showed that the condition of the area that had previously undergone root canal treatment had worsened, but due to the tour schedule, it was difficult for her to return to Korea for treatment.
In the end, Momo decided to have the tooth extracted in order to carry out the performance schedule. She said, "Originally, it wasn't at the point where I had to pull the tooth, but there wasn't enough time," and added, "I had to do the concert, so after a long discussion at the dental clinic, I went ahead with the extraction. I really didn't want to have it removed, but I had no choice." She also added, "I think the implant will have to be done after I return to Korea."
After the news became known, fans expressed concern, saying things like, "It must have hurt so much for her to go as far as an extraction," "It's heartbreaking that she couldn't receive proper treatment because she's on tour," and "I hope her health comes first."
Meanwhile, TWICE has been carrying out its sixth world tour, 'THIS IS FOR,' since last July. Starting with the Incheon concert, they have been meeting global fans while traveling across Japan, Southeast Asia, the Americas, Europe, and more around the world.
However, as members' health issues have continued one after another recently, fans' worries have also grown. Earlier, Dahyun temporarily paused her activities due to an ankle fracture, and Chaeyoung also missed some schedules because she was not feeling well. With the news of Momo's extraction added on top of that, voices among fans continue to rise about the burden of the packed tour schedule.
