TWICE in Europe
For the first time since their debut, TWICE will be embarking on a tour of Europe.
After performing in Singapore on September 2, 2023, the group will head to Europe, where they will perform in London on September 8, 2023; Paris on September 11, 2023; and Berlin on September 14, 2023.
The group officially kicked off their world tour in Seoul last April 15, 2023.
TWICE recently made history when their EP “READY TO BE,” debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 after achieving the biggest U.S. sales week of any female K-pop artist to date.
The mini album also spent five consecutive weeks on the chart: for the week ending on April 22, “READY TO BE” came in at No. 72, making it TWICE’s first album to spend five weeks in the top 75—and the first album released by JYP Entertainment to achieve the feat.
TWICE is composed of Jihyo, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. The all-girl group debuted in 2015 under JYP Entertainment with the EP “The Story Begins.”
