TWICE member Sana is currently a prominent topic in K-pop, driven by her successful unit activities and a recent fashion choice that garnered significant public attention. Her distinctive style at a Gwanghwamun event sparked widespread discussion, showcasing her ability to remain a trending figure.
Minatozaki Sana, born on December 29, 1996, in Osaka, Japan, debuted with TWICE in October 2015 and gained early fame for her "Shy Shy Shy" line in "CHEER UP." More recently, she formed TWICE's first unit, MISAMO, with Mina and Momo, debuting in Japan in July 2023. Their album "Masterpiece" set a record for highest first-week sales by a female artist on Oricon in 2023, followed by a successful dome tour in January 2024. MISAMO continued their releases with a Japanese mini album in November 2024 and a full album "PLAY" in February 2026. On June 18, 2026, Sana's asymmetrical mini-dress at a tea brand event in Gwanghwamun created an "optical illusion" effect, making it a viral topic.
Local bloggers observed that Sana's Gwanghwamun outfit, featuring a dramatically cut hem that revealed shorts, elicited mixed reactions but undeniably high virality. While some praised her unique ability to carry off such a bold design, others found it challenging, yet all agreed on its trending impact. Her consistent musical endeavors with MISAMO and her knack for generating buzz through distinctive fashion choices underscore her enduring influence in the K-pop industry.
