TWICE’s Momo has surprised fans with a personal update her older sister, Hana Hirai, is officially competing on the highly anticipated “World Street Woman Fighter,” the newly rebranded Season 3 of Mnet’s hit dance survival show.
Momo shared the news directly on a fan communication platform, encouraging ONCEs to support her sister during the voting phase. “My older sister is participating in ‘World Street Woman Fighter,’ so please watch the video and press like. ONCE, please share the video with friends and ask them to press like too!”
After the audition video surfaced online of “OSAKA Ojo Gang” with the appearance of Hana Hirai, Korean netizens were quick to react on instiz:
- “Didn’t Billlie’s Tsuki learn to dance from Momo’s older sister?!”
- “She’s her older sister? The genetics in this family are amazing.”
- “I just watched the video — no wonder she looked like Momo!”
- “Dancing really must be genetic…”
Momo’s sister is Hana Hirai, a professional dancer from Osaka, Japan. She’s originally a member of the all-female dance team “That Crew,” known in the Kansai region for their choreography, backup dancing, and contest work. Hana often shares her performances on Instagram under @banghana.
With the global expansion of “Street Woman Fighter 3” (now “World Street Woman Fighter“), Hana Hirai’s participation is drawing attention not just for her own skills, but also for her link to one of K-pop’s biggest stars. Fans are eager to see how far her talent will take her on the show.
Her participation aligns with the newly launched “World Street Woman Fighter.” This season expands globally, inviting elite female dance crews from around the world to compete on Korea’s main stage.

As the competition heats up, all eyes are on Hana Hirai to see if she can make her mark on the world stage — and possibly follow in her sister’s legendary footsteps.
