Group TWICE is expected to fill the four seasons of 2025 with the best performance with new attempts and to perform indefinitely in the new year.

Twice, which debuted in 2015, celebrated its 10th anniversary in 2025. Throughout 2025, he has expanded the range of activities of the "global top girl group" by making various moves beyond the release of regular albums and the development of large-scale world tours, and has achieved great results.

◆After a fresh spring, the summer was hotter than ever

From the beginning of this year, the performance that burst fresh synergy stood out. In April, Coldplay, a world-class rock band, was a special guest for all six performances in Korea held at Goyang Stadium in Goyang, Gyeonggi Province, and worked with spectators regardless of genre. On top of that, he participated in the original song track of Netflix's "K-pop Demon Hunters," which is considered the best content of the year, driving global box office success and shining a new presence.

In particular, "TAKEDOWN (JEONGYEON, JIHYO, CHAEYOUNG)" (Takedown (Jeongyeon, Jihyo, Chaeyoung) in the OST album and "Strategy," which is also a song from TWICE's 14th mini album, became popular worldwide and succeeded in charting in 19 and 17 weeks on the U.S. Billboard main chart "Hot 100," respectively. Twice, who had their own best performance with two songs, set the record of obtaining platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for the first time in a K-pop girl group with "Strategy."

In July 2025, TWICE's fourth full-length album "THIS IS FOR" (this is for) and the world tour of the same name, which were released in about three years and eight months, added to the heat. With its fourth regular album, it set a new record for the first K-pop girl group to enter the Billboard 200 chart for the 10th time, and the sixth world tour "THIS IS FOR" led to favorable reviews with an all-time concert announcing the innovative evolution of 360-degree performance directing.

As part of the "THIS IS FOR", which is being developed as its largest, it mobilized 400,000 spectators with a Japanese dome tour and sold out all 360-degree seats in super-large concert halls such as Kaohsiung National Stadium and Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong, proving its powerful influence again.

In August, it decorated the headlining stage of TWICE's first global festival, "Lollapalooza Chicago." The nine members' control of the stage captured the cloud audience with a parade of representative songs leading to the singing of the live band sound.

Twice's full performance "Lollapalooza Chicago" video, which showed its "stadium headliner" aspect, was on the verge of exceeding 5 million views with 4.95 million views on YouTube as of December 30, about four months after the group's official SNS channel was uploaded.

◆Colorful fall to cozy winter

The autumn activities of the season of abundance and harvest were also clear. In September, Chaeyoung's first full-length solo album "LIL FANTASY vol.1" (Reel Fantasy Volume 1) and the special album "TEN: The Story Goes On" (TEN: The Story Goes On), which celebrates the 10th anniversary of TWICE's debut in October, heated up the hearts of fans at home and abroad. Chaeyoung is a solo debut album that participated in the work of a total of 10 tracks, and has been listed on several year-end settlement charts, including Rolling Stone USA's Best Album, Billboard's 25 Best K-Pop Top 25 in 2025: Staff Recommendation, and Teen Vogue's 15 Best Non-English Albums in 2025 and has been recognized for its musicality.

"TEN: The Story Goes On" and the title song "ME+YOU" (Me Plus You) were also selected as "the 25 best K-pop music videos in 2025: Staff Recommendation" and Teen Vogue's "15 best K-pop music videos in 2025." In addition, according to the "Oricon Annual Album Ranking 2025" (counting period 2024.12.23~2025.12.15), four albums were ranked, including TWICE's "ENEMY" (ENEMY), "#TWICE5" (Hashtag TWICE5), "STRATEGY," MISAMO, and "HAUTE COUTURE."

Various collaboration contents provided ONCE (fandom name) at home and abroad with a wealth of entertainment. Nayeon performed the cover song of popular Japanese band Ikimonogakari's "Kimagure Romantic" and featuring popular American musician Taylor Parks' "Era with NAYEON (TWICE)." Tzuyu also collaborated with rapper Sokodomo on "Blink" by Corbin Besson, a musician from the famous American band Why Don't We, and Chaeyoung collaborated with rapper Sokodomo on "WAKE UP (Feat. CHAEYOUNG of TWICE)." Nayeon, Momo, Jihyo, and Tzuyu made headlines by performing on the runway of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2025, a global fashion event that boasts global influence.

Dahyun's acting activities and TWICE's first unit MISAMO are melting the winter cold. Dahyun was well received for delicately expressing the emotions of the characters in this year's films "The Girl We Loved At That Time" (Director Cho Young-myung) and "Running at Power" (Director Lee Seung-hoon), and she is meeting with viewers through "Ji Hye-on," who only realizes that her old friendship has turned into a new love that she doesn't even know. Mina, Sana, and Momo are preheating the atmosphere by opening several teasing contents sequentially on their official local SNS channels prior to the release of their first full-length Japanese album "PLAY" (Play) and title song "Confetti" (Confetti) on February 4 next year.

Twice, which has established a wide-ranging position by drawing a roadmap worthy of the group's name of "I impress you once with my eyes and once with my ears" for 10 years when Kangsan changes, will open 2026 wide and create a presence like the world's top girl group. Twice will hold its first solo concert at the Tokyo National Stadium in Japan on April 25, 26, and 28 and hold a large-scale performance that will accommodate about 80,000 spectators per episode and accumulate 240,000 spectators three times.
