“Teto” (테토) vs “Egen” (에겐) is a Korean internet slang concept that describes two opposite “vibes” or personality types in someone. Teto (derived from the word Testosterone) women give off a more bold, strong, dominant, or traditionally “masculine” energy, while Egen (Estrogen) women give off soft, gentle, traditionally “feminine” energy. The same concept can also be applied to men.

Nayeon concluded that TWICE’s Teto girls are Jihyo and Momo!

Meanwhile, the remainder of the members (Sana, Chaeyoung, Dahyun, Jeongyeon, Mina, and Tzuyu) are Egen girls. However, she didn’t classify herself.
