Group TWICE has written a new chapter in K-pop girl group history by drawing approximately 550,000 fans solely through its North American tour.

TWICE is currently holding its world tour "THIS IS FOR" to great success worldwide. Starting from Incheon and moving through Asia and Australia, the North American leg launched in January this year and concluded with 35 performances across 20 cities, including Austin on April 18, completing the largest North American tour ever by a group.

According to JYP Entertainment, the group's official agency, on the 24th, a staggering 550,000 fans attended the North American tour alone. This achievement makes TWICE the K-pop girl group with the highest number of attendees in North American history. The agency stated, "TWICE was originally scheduled to perform 22 times in 20 cities, but due to the rapid sale of tickets, additional shows were added. One extra performance was added in Vancouver, Seattle, Oakland, Dallas, Washington D.C., Belmont Park, Hamilton, Orlando, Boston, Chicago, and Austin, while two additional shows were added in Los Angeles, coloring four days of the cities with TWICE's energy."

This tour featured a 360-degree stage open to all seats, offering fans a three-dimensional performance experience and further intensifying the excitement. As mega-hit songs such as "I CAN'T STOP ME," "MOONLIGHT SUNRISE," "The Feels," and "FANCY" were performed while facing audiences from all sides, fans erupted in powerful cheers and applause.

Additionally, during performances of the members' solo songs and tracks from their 14th mini-album "STRATEGY," which enjoyed long-term popularity on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 main chart, as well as the Netflix "KPop Demon Hunters" original soundtrack album tracks "Strategy" and "TAKEDOWN (JEONGYEON, JIHYO, CHAEYOUNG)," the concert atmosphere reached its peak, creating a festival-like vibe.

At the final stop of the North American tour, the Austin performance on the 18th, a special video prepared by local fans was screened, leaving the audience deeply moved. The members shared, "We are now approaching the end of April, having started our North American tour in January and performed over 30 times. When our ONCE (fan club name) told us they worked hard, it truly felt like the tour was over. We thank all the fans who came to see TWICE."

TWICE, the "top K-pop girl group" that has set another record in North America, is now poised to make history in Japan as well. On the 25th, 26th, and 28th, the group will hold three solo concerts at Tokyo National Stadium, becoming the first foreign artist to perform there. The Tokyo National Stadium, known for its capacity of up to 80,000 spectators per show, will witness TWICE, as the first foreign artist and the first domestic girl group, create a historic spectacle and elevate their reputation.

Having begun their career with hall and arena-level performances from 2018 to 2020, TWICE became the first K-pop girl group to hold three consecutive concerts at Tokyo Dome in 2022. Since then, they have held solo concerts at four major venues in Japan: Osaka Yanma Stadium Nagai, Tokyo Ajinomoto Stadium, Nagoya Vantelin Dome, and Fukuoka PayPay Dome. In 2024, TWICE made history as the first K-pop girl group to enter Nissan Stadium, Japan's largest venue, showcasing their unparalleled presence.

JYP Entertainment emphasized, "As TWICE celebrates its ninth anniversary of official debut in Japan this year, standing tall at Tokyo National Stadium, a venue with unique symbolic significance in the Japanese music market, the group has once again solidified its place among legendary girl groups by capturing local fandom, public appeal, and ticket power."
