On January 6, following the news of her relationship with Super Junior‘s Kim Heechul, TWICE’s Momo posted a long letter on the group’s official fan page, detailing her sincere feelings for ONCE (TWICE’s fans).

"There’s a lot I want to tell ONCE, so I don’t know if this letter will be well-organized. But I wanted to write a letter, so here I am writing it. It’s already my fifth time welcoming the new year with ONCE! The time we’ve spent together feels very long, but it also feels short. Either way, I’m reminded a lot of the memories I made with ONCE.

Each ONCE probably has a different memory they made with us each year, and I’ve also made different memories with ONCE every year. And what remains in my memory is different too. So in 2020, I want to give back the abundant happiness and memories I received from ONCE in 2019, and my goal was to create more joyful memories for ONCE and communicate a lot.

But I surprised ONCE as soon as 2020 started, so I truly feel sorry. To be honest, I contemplated a lot about whether I should write this letter. Whether this letter would hurt ONCE more. Whether not doing anything would be better for ONCE. I was really cautious, but since I’ve always communicated often with ONCE, I wanted to communicate with ONCE in my own way, so I’m writing this letter.

When I was little, I started [being a trainee] simply because I liked to dance, because I liked to sing, because I wanted to become a singer, because I wanted to become a celebrity, and reasons like that. And thankfully, I was able to meet an amazing family called TWICE. And while being a part of TWICE, I met our ONCE.

Of course, I love dancing and singing. But I also have lots of fun communicating with ONCE, and every single thing like that makes me happy. So after work, on my way home, I think, “Oh, I want to talk to ONCE,” and have so many V Live broadcasts that our managers get tired. Editing and uploading videos isn’t something I do because someone tells me to. I’m only doing it with the thought that ONCE would like it. And filming those videos isn’t work; I went out to have fun during my break, and it was just so nice. That’s what makes me do those things.

Doing those things really doesn’t feel like work to us. We really want to be close to ONCE, and that’s what I really like. When I see ONCE being happy because of us, that makes me happy. When we had the V Live broadcast for seven hours, [which was so long that] ONCE got tired, I really enjoyed it. I’m not trying to brag that I’m doing this much. I wanted to tell you that this is how much I’m thinking about ONCE. I’m really, really thankful to ONCE for communicating with me and giving me so much strength. ONCE are always giving us support, and we want to give you that much support in return.

I’m always proud [of ONCE], and you are very precious to me. I don’t know if my words are properly organized, but I hope that at least a little bit of my sincerity towards ONCE will reach you. The year 2020 is just beginning, so health is the No. 1 [priority] for both ONCE and TWICE!

Everyone will have personal hardships, and there will be annoying or tough things that happen because of us, but I hope that ONCE will experience so many more happy things than tough things.

From now on, I want to create more happy memories for ONCE. I’m always sorry, and I’m truly thankful!

Thank you for reading this long letter even though I’m not very good with words. Happy New Year, ONCE."

Sounds like she's afraid that fans will drop her like a hot potato and "forget" her now that she's in a relationship.

It’s a legit concern unfortunately :( even though I’m into kpop clearly for the music, finding out people take their biases very seriously and sometimes view it as some boyfriend/girlfriend fantasy...it just sucks. idk why people can’t just support an artist as you enjoy their content

Yeah, it feels like she was made to write it to prove fans are still her first priority... she has nothing to apologize for, my problem is with Heechul, not her.

I could never be a Kpop idol simply because I don't think I could stomach kissing my fans asses that much.

I'd just be like "I have to live authentically and if you're offended that I date then sorry I guess but idrc I'm not dis-entitled to a private life cuz I'm an idol." And then all my fansite would prob shut down and I'd be kicked out of whatever group. Hopefully I'd be able to sucker my fans outta a good amount of coin before that happens I guess.

it was confirmed by both companies, starting off the new decade in the worst possible way

I know she’s doing this as damage control after her dating news, but damn. I would hate as an idol but to have to write letters like this that make it seem like my entire life revolves around making fans happy. It’s just so weird.

I wonder if she got some PR help in writing. Or at least a proof reader/editor before it was posted. But yeah, idols and the fan culture thing has always been weird to me.
