1. [+432, -51] Anxiety is a scary thing, don't speak easily of it if you don't know anything

2. [+407, -212] Seems like she's only going to promote in Japan

3. [+207, -33] Rest up and recover your health~

4. [+39, -6] There's a reason daughters of rich families are stereotyped as kind but weak in health. I hope she recovers soon. All three of Twice's Japanese members are so pretty and kind, don't hate on them. Hating on them is not patriotism.

5. [+28, -8] She's sick, who are you people hating on her just for being Japanese when she's sick? What makes you any different from the anti-Korean right-wingers?

6. [+28, -12] I never thought she had a personality fit to be a celebrity. She's introverted and doesn't talk a lot.

7. [+27, -4] Please don't hate on this

8. [+15, -3] Did Mina do something wrong, though? So many hate comments when she's sick... are the haters hating for the sake fo her being Japanese? Or just because she's a popular celebrity, I have no idea.

Edit:

JYP gives an update on TWICE Mina’s current health

“Hello. This is JYPE.

We would like to make an additional announcement about Mina’s health status.

After confirming with multiple medical institutions, Mina’s condition was diagnosed as an anxiety disorder.


The main symptom that she faces is extreme anxiety that occurs continuously, intermittently, and unexpectedly. The level of her anxiety may also face sudden changes.

We will be making a decision about Mina’s return to her schedules after many discussions between Mina and the members. Also, we hope that the fans will be understanding about our judgment that Mina’s return will only be based on her personal health and her choices.

We will do our very best for Mina’s recovery. We ask for the fan’s many support and interest.”

1. This is terrible disease ㅠㅠ Mina, I’ll wait for you

2. After that, she will participate in recording album + filming music video and not promoting

3. Health is more important than concerts ㅠㅠ

4. It’s good to have clear notices.. Or fans will be more anxious and disappointed… Mina-yaㅜㅠ Let’s meet in a healthy conditionㅠㅠㅠㅠ

5. Oh my heart hurts ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Mina-ya ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

6. Seems like JYP is a good agency

7. But if she doesn’t work and rests, you can’t distribute profits at that time. Share 1/8 and not 1/9? Do you know how to deal with this? Is there different for each group?

8. Mina-ya, get better soon ㅠㅠㅠ Mina may be difficult to participate in all group activities, but we will meet again soon.

9. However, the company seems to be very good. It’s good that the company cares about artist conditions and adjusts such schedules. JYP is a big company and TWICE has many members and the group itself is stable and famous. I’m so happy

10. I think Mina wants to participate as much as possible.

Positive and common sense comments are nice to read. However, I'm not looking forward to xenophonic and troll ones more prevalent in other sites.

The nasty comments are there - it's just that Netizenbuzz chose not to highlight them.

 

[Belkiss]

Wishing her safe and fast recovery

 

[Transparent]

Hoping you can recover as soon as possible Mina

i wonder what her trigger is, if its being on stage then she should retire. that shit is the worse. good luck to her.

 

[JNT-LEGGO]

Most of us kind of had a feeling it was something like this.

I hope she'll be okay.

 

[Doyoung]

what a relief, i clicked the thread expecting the worst

 

[A Flower4ever]

Mina's health it's what's important. No matter what, we love and support her, is what she needs from us fans. :hearteu:

^^^^^^
also this is a very important point to read from a redditor who also has anxiety disorder:

I feel, as someone who also suffers from Anxiety Disorder, I should also head some inevitable comments and thought processes off at the pass. People really, REALLY need to understand this part:

intermittent extreme anxiety, with levels of anxiety varying unexpectedly.

What this means is that Mina can feel great and okay to perform one night and not the next. IF she decides to participate in this comeback and promotes one day and not the next day, people need to realize right now that this would be 100% completely normal for her condition and not "being pushed to go back to performing before she is ready".

I think anyone with anxiety disorder can tell you they have good days and they have bad days without rhyme or reason. This is going to be very hard for people that have never dealt with issues like this before because health is often dealt with in a black or white view. In most health related situations, a person can be sick and get fully better before coming back. Mina may very well struggle with these things for the rest of her life. Its just a sad fact. Hopefully not, and with the right medication and therapy, she can drastically increase her quality of life living with the condition, but this is never going to be a "she is all better" scenario, and fans REALLY need to understand that.

Naver article trending #1 and have 1k positive comments people should translate that one.

Mina get well soon

Mina's been a part of Twice for almost 4 years, so she's obviously has been onstage performing all that time, and was able to cope with her anxiety in the past. Which means that just because she has difficulties doing so now, doesn't mean that she won't be able to overcome them in the future. Since both JYPE and her groups are willing to work with her to help her deal with her anxiety, I certainly hope retirement would be the last option among many other options on her list.
