Taiwanese singer Chou Tzu-yu, popularly known as “Tzuyu,” is a part of the well-known South Korean K-pop group “TWICE.” She was grown and born in Tainan, Taiwan, and has always loved acting and singing. In her hometown, she participated in the “MUSE Performing Arts Workshop,” which is where talent agents first noticed her in 2012. She then relocated to South Korea. For the next two years, she received training in performing arts there. She gave a performance on the South Korean reality series “Sixteen” in 2015, which led to her selection as a member of the all-girl band “TWICE” in that country. With the release of their single “Cheer Up” in 2016, the group began to acquire recognition. It ended up being the year’s top-performing single. To date, the band has put out two studio albums. The albums, with the names “Twicetagram” and “B.D.Z.,” have enjoyed tremendous popularity. The group also entered the Japanese market with “B.D.Z.” and became well-known there. When Chou was pictured waving the flag of the Republic of China on a T.V. program while claiming to be Taiwanese, she found herself at the center of significant controversy. Later, when the incident started to hurt her career, she issued an apology.
All are aware that Tzuyu, a member of TWICE, had the worst command of Korean at the time the group made its debut. Fans were won over, nevertheless, by Tzuyu’s adorable linguistic gaffes, which could be lexical or pronunciation-related. It greatly enhanced her reputation as a “cute maknae.” Nobody, however, could have predicted that once she mastered the language, she would turn completely vicious. Here are a few of Tzuyu’s “Savage Maknae” scenes that we particularly like: When she discusses with Jihyo the success of her “Unnie Medicine,” When she expresses her true feelings to the Happy Together cast about idols (cough Jihyo cough) participating in mass streaming for chart-boosting:
