Who is Sana?
Sana Minatozaki was born on December 29, 1996 in Tennoji District, Osaka, Japan. He is a singer and is famous for being a member of the Korean K-pop girl group Twice managed by JYP Entertainment. Twice has won numerous praises and is one of the best-selling K-pop artists in the world. In her career, she also has several personal projects named after her.
Sana’s net worth
As of the beginning of 2020, Sana’s net worth is estimated to exceed US$300,000, which was obtained through a successful career as a singer.
She has conducted international tours with Twice and has many endorsement contracts outside the team that help her accumulate wealth.
Early life and career start
Sana initially envisioned herself as a singer in Japan. When she was young, she began to receive training at the Osaka-based Japanese management company EXPG-the company is known for founding the Japanese boy band Exile. However, on the way to the shopping mall during junior high school, she was spotted by an employee of JYP Entertainment, one of Korea’s largest entertainment companies, and was invited to participate in the annual JYP Japan audition held in the country.
She passed the audition, entered the JYP trainee program, and moved to South Korea in 2012. She began to learn languages and developed her singing and dancing skills in the next three years. She originally planned to join a new girl group with several future members of Twice, but the project was later cancelled. Instead, she starred in the reality show “Sixteen”, which was designed to help identify the members of the girl group Twice. Of the 16 contestants, only nine were selected, and she was one of the winners.

Twice successful
Shortly after the completion of the combination, Twice debuted with the single “Like Ooh-Ahh”, which was their first extended play (EP) “The Story Start”. The single music video will be the highest number of views for any K-pop artist’s debut on YouTube. They continued this momentum with another high-profile single called “Cheer Up”, which reached the top of the Korean charts and won many awards in the process, such as Song of the Year.
Their third EP will be called “Twicecoaster: Lane 1”, which contains another hit song from “TT”, which has been at the top of the charts for four consecutive weeks.
Twice quickly became one of the best-selling artists in Korea, and their popularity has expanded internationally. They signed a contract with Warner Music Japan and began to produce singles and albums for Japan, including the compilation “#Twice” certified by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) platinum.
They also released several original Japanese singles and were named the top Japanese bulletin artist in 2017. In 2018, they released their first Japanese studio album “BDZ”, which also received platinum certification.
Two recent projects and individual efforts
Later in 2018, Twice released their sixth EP “Yes or Yes”, making it the seventh largest 24-hour YouTube debut in the history of the site. The following year, they held a Japan Dome tour in cities such as Nagoya, Tokyo and Osaka, and this was the first female K-pop artist to hold such a tour.
A few months later, they went on an international tour again, performing in Southeast Asia and North America under a world tour called Twicelights. One of their latest EPs is EP “Feel Special”, and they also produced their second Japanese studio album “&Twice”. Their world tour will end in Seoul in 2020.
In addition to Twice, Sana has served as the promoter, spokesperson and commercial model of numerous brands for companies in Korea and Japan.

She and two other Japanese members, Mina and Momo, are believed to help improve the relationship between South Korea and Japan. She was also ranked top in Gallup Korea’s most popular idol poll, making her the 17th highest individual in Japan. She also did some hosting work on TV.
personal life
Sana is single, and like many K-pop artists, they are more willing to maintain relationships with the public. Because of their busy schedules, they often have little time to fall in love.
In 2019, she commented on the change of the Japanese era from Heisei to Reiwa after the coronation of the new emperor, and commented online that she would miss the era when she was born. However, critics believe that this was a time when tensions between Korea and Japan were caused by the history of the Japanese empire to rule Korea. Many of her fans defended her and accused critics of making comments without her making any statements at all.
