Twice at Jakarta International Stadium
Twice (Korean: 트와이스; RR: Teuwaiseu; Japanese: トゥワイス, Hepburn: Tuwaisu; commonly stylized in all caps) is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment.
The group is composed of nine members: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu.
Twice was formed under the television program Sixteen (2015) and debuted on October 20, 2015, with the extended play (EP) The Story Begins.
Twice rose to domestic fame in 2016 with their single "Cheer Up", which charted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart, became the best-performing single of the year, and won "Song of the Year" at the Melon Music Awards and Mnet Asian Music Awards.
Their next single, "TT", from their third EP Twicecoaster: Lane 1, topped the Gaon charts for four consecutive weeks.
The EP was the highest selling Korean girl group album of 2016.
Within 19 months after debut, Twice had already sold over 1.2 million units of their four EPs and special album.
As of December 2020, the group has sold over 15 million albums cumulatively in South Korea and Japan.
The group debuted in Japan on June 28, 2017, under Warner Music Japan, with the release of a compilation album titled #Twice.
The album charted at number 2 on the Oricon Albums Chart with the highest first-week album sales by a K-pop artist in Japan in two years.
It was followed by the release of Twice's first original Japanese maxi single titled "One More Time" in October.
Twice became the first Korean girl group to earn a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for both an album and CD single in the same year.
Twice ranked third in the Top Artist category of Billboard Japan's 2017 Year-end Rankings, and in 2019, they became the first Korean girl group to embark on a Japanese dome tour.
Twice is the first female Korean act to simultaneously top both Billboard's World Albums and World Digital Song Sales charts with the release of their first studio album Twicetagram and its lead single "Likey" in 2017.
With the release of their single "Feel Special" in 2019, Twice became the third female Korean act to chart into the Canadian Hot 100.
After signing with Republic Records for American promotions as part of a partnership with JYP Entertainment, the group has charted into the US Billboard 200 with More & More and Eyes Wide Open in 2020, Taste of Love and Formula of Love: O+T=<3 in 2021, and Between 1&2 in 2022.
Their first official English-language single, "The Feels", became their first song to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, peaking at the 83rd and 80th positions of the charts, respectively.
They have been dubbed the next "Nation's Girl Group", and their point choreography—including for "Cheer Up" (2016), "TT" (2016), "Signal" (2017), and "What Is Love?" (2018)—became dance crazes and viral memes imitated by many celebrities.
On November 15, the group announced five initial North American tour dates of their fourth world tour, "III".
They embarked on the tour with a two-day concert in Seoul on December 25–26.
On December 3, Twice pre-released their ninth Japanese single, "Doughnut", with an accompanying music video.
It was physically released on December 15 in Japan.
With the successful completion of their seven-date U.S. leg of the "III" World Tour which concluded on February 27, 2022, Twice became the first female K-pop act to hold two separate arena tours in the world’s biggest music market, bringing out an audience of approximately 100,000 people.
Originally, only one date for Los Angeles and New York was announced, but second shows were quickly added to both cities added due to high demand after the sellout.
Following the success of their US tour, Twice announced an encore concert at the Banc of California Stadium in Los Angeles, making them the first female K-pop group to headline a stadium concert in the United States.
Initially announcing only one date for May 14, the group decided to hold an additional performance on May 15 following high demand.
In addition, the group is scheduled to hold their Tokyo Dome concert in Japan for two days on April 23 and 24, but as the tickets were sold out at the same time as the opening sale, they added a performance on the 25th.
With three sold out dates at the Tokyo Dome, Twice became the first Kpop girl group and the second girl group overall (following AKB48) to hold a three-day concert at the said venue.
On July 12, all members of Twice renewed their contracts with JYP Entertainment.
The same day, it was announced that Twice would release their eleventh Korean EP, Between 1&2, on August 26.
On December 21, it was announced that Twice would release a pre-release English single "Moonlight Sunrise" on January 20, 2023, and their twelfth Korean EP, Ready to Be on March 10, 2023.
On March 22, it was announced that Twice would release their tenth Japanese single on May 31, 2023, titled "Hare Hare".
