Finnish fans waited at Helsinki International Airport in hopes of seeing South Korea's popular girl group TWICE but they returned home with nothing in an incident sparked by an image on TWICE's official twitter.
The image uploaded on Sunday showed an international flight ticket from Seoul to Helsinki with a message: "TWICE TV5 COMING SOON".
K-pop communities in Finland rumbled with joy to greet TWICE and tens of enthusiastic fans gathered at the airport.
Their joy evaporated after a new image was uploaded, showing an international flight ticket from Helsinki to Zurich along with a post reading, "TWICE TV5 TWICE IN SWITZERLAND COMING SOON!" The girls just stopped over in Finland on their way to Switzerland. TWICE's global fan club criticized the group's agency, JYP Entertainment, for fooling fans.
