The Return of TWICE

TWICE ARE READY TO START THE next chapter of their career. The nine members of the Korean girl group are established titans of K-pop, but Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu are seeking out new ways to connect with—and surprise—their loyal fanbase.

The group debuted in 2015 after the members were selected through record label JYP Entertainment’s competition survival show, Sixteen. TWICE’s songs “Cheer Up” and “TT” became global viral hits. The group has released seven studio albums and 12 EPs, and in South Korea they have been dubbed the “Nation’s Girl Group.”

TWICE released their twelfth EP Ready to Be on March 10; the upbeat pop album features seven tracks, two in English. The group is now preparing to embark on their biggest world tour to date, stopping off in the U.S. and Canada from June 10 to July 9 after performing in South Korea, Japan and Australia this spring.
