It seems there’s no stopping Ben&amp;Ben from living the dream of conquering the international scene as the indie-folk band yet again gained another fan in no less than Momo of K-Pop powerhouse Twice. In a snippet of Momo’s VLive video shared by a fan on Twitter, the K-Pop singer can be seen swaying her left and right while listening to Ben&amp;Ben’s “Leaves.”According to some fans, Momo liked the song and she told Once (Twice&#x27;s fans) that they have good taste in music. Ben&amp;Ben, in a tweet, humbly responded by simply writing: “yo thank you for listening to leaves momo!” <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">yo thank you for listening to leaves momo! <a href="https://twitter.com/JYPETWICE?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">@JYPETWICE</a> <a href="https://t.co/rUP6xCnxC8">https://t.co/rUP6xCnxC8</a>— Ben&amp;Ben (@BenAndBenMusic) <a href="https://twitter.com/BenAndBenMusic/status/1286990979518496768?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">July 25, 2020</a></blockquote><script async="" src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charSet="utf-8" type="text/javascript"></script>Fans couldn’t help but gush over Twice’s response to Ben&amp;Ben’s tweet as the group’s official Twitter account liked the tweet. <blockquote class="twitter-tweet">WAAAAHH TWICE LIKED BEN&amp;BEN POST!!!
