TWICE’s Chaeyoung is facing controversy after revealing she almost quit the group during their peak popularity.
The singer opened up on a recent YouTube podcast about the harsh realities of being an idol. She said the biggest challenge was the severe lack of sleep. It was so bad that she seriously thought about leaving TWICE entirely.
She shared how her daily resting time was sometimes only 30 minutes, which pushed her to the edge.

The reaction from K-Netizens has been mixed, sparking heated debate online.
Some said:
> *“Honestly, it’s a shame, but these days, there are many people who work overtime and on holidays, and they get ripped off, but they only sleep a few more hours than celebrities, and yet they earn tens or hundreds more. That’s why it’s harder to sympathize with celebrities like before.”*
Others criticized her for complaining about lack of sleep:
> *“Why can’t she just sleep at school?”*
> *“Why is she complaining about not being able to sleep…shouldn’t she have known what she was getting into when becoming a singer? It makes Jang Won Young look like someone to look up to.”*
But some fans showed support:
> *“Sleep is important…just imagine how hard it must have been for her.”*
> *“Thank you for pushing through.”*
Other comments pointed out how extreme 30 minutes of sleep daily really is:
> *“30 minutes? I’d go crazy if that happened for a day…but continuing to live like that is just crazy.”*
> *“I know they say to reap the money when you can, but 30 minutes daily is going overboard.”*
The controversy began after her interview went viral, putting a spotlight on the harsh working conditions idols face.
As the situation unfolds, fans remain split between sympathy and criticism.
