About SaiDa

SaiDa is the fan pairing of TWICE's Sana (Minatozaki Sana) and Dahyun (Kim Dahyun), two members of the JYP Entertainment girl group who became a beloved comedic duo in the ONCE fandom. Sana, a Japanese member known for her warm personality and sub-vocals, and Dahyun, TWICE's lead rapper and one of the group's most recognized variety personalities, have a dynamic that fans describe as effortlessly entertaining. The ship name 'SaiDa' is a deliberate pun on 'saida,' the Korean word for lemon-lime soda, giving the pairing a fizzy, lighthearted brand identity that fits its fun-first appeal. SaiDa peaked as an active ship topic during TWICE's early promotional era (2016 to 2018) and remains a nostalgic fan favorite among ONCEs who followed the group from their debut. Clips from this period are regularly referenced in TWICE fandom spaces.

A popular early-peak pairing (roughly 2016 to 2018) that remains a nostalgic favorite among ONCEs, with entries on TWICE fan wikis.
