TWICE 11th Anniversary MD Shoot Behind Teaser

Why Koreans care

In K-pop retail, “MD” commonly means merchandise. The title is therefore referring to an anniversary-goods photo shoot, not a managing director.

In the Korean comments

One comment measures TWICE’s longevity against One Piece: in translation, “TWICE debuted during the latter half of the Dressrosa arc, and it’s already their 11th anniversary. Time really flies.”

What the words mean

“귀 빠진 날” (gwi ppajin nal, literally “the day your ears fell off”) is a playful, colloquial expression for a birthday. One commenter applies it to TWICE’s anniversary as the group’s figurative birthday and even wonders whether the foreign members know the phrase.
