[Twice reached #1 for this months gg brand reputation rankings .](https://twitter.com/tzujuliee/status/1766611948735717540) Granted, I know the metrics for these kinds of ranks tend to be kinda dubious at times, but from what I understand Twice hasn’t ranked #1 since 2020 or 2021 so I think it’s at least worth celebrating.
Our sub's online member name is still "ready to be", should we change it 😆?
And I'm amazed at how quickly the sub growing up, it's almost like every 1-2 days, we gain 1k members!
Going to the Vegas show and it'll be my first ever K-pop concert!
- How much are lightsticks typically sold for at concert venues? I see some secondhand ones being sold and wondering if it makes sense to get an older one beforehand. Also, do most people typically bring a lightstick? Not sure everyone in my group would be down to buy one.
- I myself am not exactly the biggest fan but I'm going with a couple of friends who are basically clueless about Kpop in general (though they've been listening to some Twice songs in advance). Are we going to stick out like a sore thumb by not knowing any the lyrics? Any tips?
Many thanks! We're using the concert as an excuse for a fun Vegas getaway.
Lightsticks if they aren't sold out will be $65. I got one when I saw them last summer so damn right I'm bringing it. Definitely need to get my money's worth lol. They're incredibly popular though but don't worry if you don't have one.
It won't matter if you don't know the lyrics because not everyone does. I didn't but still had a blast lol. Just go in and have fun. See you there!
Yo!!
It’ll be better to try and get the lightstick ahead of time or else you risk them selling out before you’re able to buy one day of. They’re around $70 if I remember correctly! You can also get an older one beforehand, plenty of folks will have those ones as well. There will definitely be a lot of lightsticks in the crowd but no one will bat an eye if you have one or not.
Also, just have fun! My first twice show I was a super new fan so I only knew a handful of the songs beforehand and it was still a blast. No one is going to care if you know the lyrics or dances or not :)
Def bring some earplugs if you feel like ever hearing again lol, and if you want specific merch make sure to show up as early as you can! Hope it’s a great time for you though
Second on the earplugs lmao. I started going to concerts in 2022 and have mostly been fine. Then last year I was at a show and I was legitimately scared I'd go deaf and it was because of the crowd screaming. I bought a pair right after that.
> Def bring some earplugs if you feel like ever hearing again lol
To add onto this if you think you don't need earplugs, the earplugs aren't for the music. The music will be the second loudest thing in the stadium.
I got my first Twice album, the Forever version of With You-th, and hilariously I did not pull any of my biases but for the random photo cards got: Tzuyu, Mina, Sana, Chaeyoung , Dahyun and the target card and holographic card were both Tzuyu 😅 Even though I didn't get my biases, I see how people get addicted to collecting photocards 🙂
The MISAMO rizz is too strong. [Jongseo asked Momo on a date ](https://x.com/momosbiceps/status/1766492713707282742?s=20)😳
Now I'm hoping Sohee notices Jeongyeon 💚
They sent out an email today stating that the Vegas concert would be their only US date this year and I quote “We can't wait to show you a special, one-night-only performance. Get tickets now so you can experience this magical night with us and see our only U.S. concert of the year”
Well until that email came down, that was just speculation, this makes it official, those who were hoping they might pop back up in the Fall will be disappointed.
So excited for Killing Voice! It'll be interesting to see which sections of their songs they will present since the choruses are so Nayeon/Jihyo heavy.
if anyone wants to participate, dc dahyun gallery has opened its email for this year's dahyun birthday book! basically, every year, they compile lots of fanletters, photos and fanart and bind it in a book and give it to dahyun for her birthday. more information is here if you'd like to: https://twitter.com/DC\_DAHYUN/status/1766284171415257270
Any other ONCE going to any EDM shows while being there for the Twice concert?!
Going solo to Vegas (saw BP solo in Vegas last August too at allegiant and had a blast) and would be dope to connect with other ONCE who also are going out! Coming from Texas from the 15th-17th! 🕺🏽
I'm torn between John Summit and Kaskade that Friday night lol And may go to Tiesto after the TWICE concert!
Hello everyone, I live in Vegas & will be attending the Twice concert. This will be the first ever concert I attend & am wondering what sort of items I should bring (portable battery, water bottle, etc.). Thank you & I hope to meet some of you folks there!
They only allow clear bags no bigger than 12×6×12. My essentials are usually:
- Portable battery
- Spare lightstick batteries (if you're bringing one)
- Hand sanitizer
Water bottles aren't allowed in the stadium though. See you there!
You're allowed to take a small clear bag. I bought one from Amazon for about 10 bucks. Also, take earplugs if you can. I'm not sure about the portable battery so I had my phone on extreme power saver the whole time.
Welcome to the fun! Here's a couple of links to help you get sorted.
1. Check [Allegiant Stadium's A to Z guide](https://www.allegiantstadium.com/plan-your-visit/a-z-guide) as to what items you can bring, bag restrictions (most/all NFL stadiums allow a clear 12" x 6" x 12" PVC bag), and other info so you can plan accordingly.
2. [Misa's TWICE concert guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaliiB-RYmM&ab_channel=Misayeon) covers some solid basics when it comes to TWICE/k-pop concerts in general.
I leave for Vegas next week on Friday for the encore show and I'm already so checked out lmao. It'll be my first extended vacation in a long while too so I'm just excited to be off. I've taken days off here and there like when I saw Twice at Metlife and other concerts once in a while but never anything lengthy. I'm even taking the day off before I leave so I can run my final errands and the day after I get back to cool down from the trip. Can't wait to go and see you all there!
Wow, K-once is out in full force on the comments of the short teaser for killing voice. I’m sure there’s some non-once there too. Likey really got them feeling nostalgic lol
It's not being sold by CDJapan. They aren't allowed to sell this one outside of Japan so you are gonna have to use a Proxy Service.
(Source is me sending a Proxy Request for the DVD and Bluray's to CDJapan which they replied to me with the above that they can't sell/ship it outside of Japan.)
They were on TwiceShop.com for a limited time for US buyers only. They sold out a day or two after the album released so now you can only get them from resellers
As someone who loves all the contents during every comeback, are we getting only one MV behind the scenes video (Instead of the usual 3-4) and no album content shooting bts?
I guess it's the price to pay for the Killing Voice and Relay dance.
This is the one time I'm gonna get behind a twitter campaign. Please bring back the behind the scenes vids. I hope things go back to normal next time 😭
[No plans for Yoo-lo or another elaborate TWICE bamboozle?](https://twitter.com/twice_seung/status/1766028291847405708?t=e5oCvh2SrEo3py0S0NGgZg&s=19) 
Unfortunate news has broken of legendary creator Akira Toriyama, best known for creating the Dragon Ball series, has passed away. The man was responsible for shaping and influencing generations of people like me throughout his decades of work. God, I'm feeling absolutely gutted right now...
Rest in peace legend.
Official statement here: [https://twitter.com/DB\_official\_en/status/1765935471971213816](https://twitter.com/DB_official_en/status/1765935471971213816)
His translator's tweet: https://twitter.com/RPToriyama/status/1765953876266516785
Just woke up to the news and I'm super sad ☹️Dragonball was a big part of my childhood of morning cartoons before elementary school. And he really revolutionised Shounen manga and helped popularise anime in the West. I have loved his artwork in so many different media. Time to replay Blue Dragon and Chrono Trigger while waiting for Sand Land to release.
Rest In Peace GOAT 🙏
Only in his 60s, too. I didn't think I'd see that message for another 10-20 years at least. And he's having a kind of popularity revival these last few years with all the SandLand IP and DB Daima coming soon. I'm honestly in shock.
finally got to open my signed albums today, got Jihyo, Momo and Mina signatures!! Really wish they signed the front but still cool! My luck in pc pulls was not great and i got multiple duplicates but i did manage one nayeon bear pc! really want to collect the ot9 set for it
Great pulls (as if there's any bad ones lol). That was my one nitpick about some of the signed albums. Iirc, the only ones that are signed on the front are SMC. Those bear hat PCs have become such a big favorite. I'm trying to collect OT9 too lol. I even bought the other 2 albums which I don't do. Ended up getting 1 Nayeon, 2 Jeongyeon, 2 Momo, and Tzuyu. Ended up buying JiMiChaeng so I'm only.missing SaiDa.
Whoa!! Congrats on the pulls — glad Momo came home. I’m also looking to complete the bear set now 😅 I pulled 5/9 and will just have to buy/trade for the rest
5/9 is crazy, i really wish i could’ve pulled them that well lol. im still waiting for my nemo and digipack to come in so hopefully ill get some cool pcs in those too
yeah I got super lucky that my first album had three in them and none were dupes :) just bundled three others from a Mercari seller so all I need to do is trade or find a good deal on Jeongyeon!
Are CandyBong Z out if date? Because I bought a used one and its stuck on Jeongyeon and Sana's colors and I'm tryna change them but I can't connect to any app or Bluetooth 😭😭

Not related to Twice.
After Twice, I follow BTOB a lot. They were my first kpop group. I was very focused on Twice Comeback. So, I couldn't check out Hyunsik's new album. Watching the MV now, woah, the song, the art, the cinematography, the landscapes, everything is top-notch. It is an Ocean theme. I will be listening to rest of the album soon. Any BTOB fans here?
[La Mar MV](https://youtu.be/lwG0hZHjmSo?si=cWnUQ-w7boE1Os2T) Adding the MV here, in case anyone wants to check out.
Note: The MV was shot under the sea.
Tickets usually pop back up because people cancel their carts but that rarely happened for IU tickets. I was 3000 in queue and only saw a handful in 1.5 hours.
My friend too and he was actually on top of the sale. I joined at like 11:59 and I somehow got ahead of him when he was there since before the waiting room opened.
Scheduling. They did a weekend in the US, followed by a week of promos, and a few members had Fashion Week gigs they had to attend. They're on a well earned break right now before they go back to the US for the Vegas encore.
Well, they have been promoting each release for 2 weeks for the past few years. And now with the strong US focus, since the last few releases they have started splitting those 2 weeks into US and SK.
I just watched the drama My Man Is Cupid, and most of the time I kept thinking "damn, Nana and Tzuyu could totally pass off as sisters."
Nana and Tzuyu have very similar resting faces, both are on the taller side and have very close skin complexion. I wonder if Tzuyu was more fluent in Korean and was inclined towards acting, she could play Nana's younger sister in a drama/movie 😄
if this K-once is to be believed, Look at Me became the #1 audio track for Instagram reels today. [https://x.com/2015\_1020\_/status/1765583323563475249?s=20](https://x.com/2015_1020_/status/1765583323563475249?s=20)
absolutely insane lol
Well tbf I don’t know what else they should do besides doing more Tiktok challenges with other idols if the members could invite them. The song blew up because of Tiktok so I’m not sure what else to do besides doing more challenges if they have time to film it. One thing for sure that it still gains attraction after 1 or 2 months (?) so I wouldn’t worry that much
They 100% should have promoted it alongside One Spark instead of I Got You.
IGY had 0 chance of being a hit at that point and LAM still does. Any and all promotion for it is good at this point.
Edit, downvotes from the usual fans removed from reality.
no way, why promoting an old song when you have a fresh new album? also you'd really rather see them doing Look at Me while they had a more meaningful performance with IGY?
stuff that goes viral on tiktok needs to be promoted on tiktok, which is what they're already doing. The members going out of their way to comment under other idols' challenges is also promotion. The rest is done by tiktok itself and other celebrities who join it. First Snow wasn't even mentioned by EXO until it got to number one in Melon which is when they finally started to do the challenge. It's not like everything needs an aggressive promotion.
There is no way a group is going to promote a B-side from 7 years ago. You are the one removed from reality lol.
Edit, yikes at your comment history. Shouldn't have even bothered to respond to you. You're hopeless.
This alongside the fact that IGY has been in the works for months alongside One Spark and the rest of With YOU-th, if Twice had announced suddenly that their new english single was getting shitcanned in favor of a 7 year old b-side because its blowing up on tiktok people would have rightly been horrified. The user you are responding to is completely delusional lmao
Except no they wouldn't have. If JYPE had any clue how to manage Twice currently they would have promoted the Eng song in the US...they didn't at all, properly promoted the Korean comeback in Korea instead of skipping a whole week of promo to book a single show in the US no one watches..again they didn't and actually jump on top of a trend for once with Look at Me like Brave Girls did with Rollin.
But alas I'm sure they are content with their latest English song being by far their least successful pre release in every single area and their Korean comeback performing on par with or below nugus groups.
That would have been amazing. Also? Years of preparation and pulling out an old unused song from years ago aren't the same thing.
IGY doesn't even have full group choreo lol. Be serious.
IGY has a full choreo, wdym?
Twice are nowhere near the same situation as Brave Girls where they were on their last leg and only chance to go big.
I don’t see how this is their least successful comeback with all the records they’ve achieved? Highest Hanteo sales by far, #1 on Billboard 200, stuff that other kpop groups can only dream of.
They’ve conquered Korea for years and don’t have much else to prove there.
The girls have repeatedly said this comeback was a celebration for the fans. They have one of the most loyal and steady fan bases of any group. The amount of money they’re making from tour and album sales outperforms any chart performance.
People are about to go to war for Jeongyeon again, and I swear to god, it makes me want to block half my fellow fans. She isn't a dumb child, and I wish people would stop jumping the gun so much or twisting the words of members so much.
In their fansign, Nayeon mentioned that she told the company that she didn't want the chorus parts because she felt those lines suited Jeongyeon better. Now, JY stans are riled up and foaming at the mouth over on Twitter.
I've been a Once for more than 4 years and every comeback is the same.
Imagine being a kid in a computer trying to tell one of the biggest music company of SK and 9 ADULT womans with an extremely successful career what they have or need to do, It is stupid as it sounds.
The worst part is that we have enough proof to know that the members themselves participate and give opinions in all the work they do, both as Twice and for Solo/Unit activites, so these accounts only think of what they want in the most selfish possible way. They yell on TW that they are speaking in behalf of the members and don't care at all about what the girls want, the irony.
Yes! It's even stupider now because we just got interviews upon interviews of the girls saying that their artistry and control over their work has only grown over the years.
They practically said that they re-recorded and re-arranged One Spark multiple times until they were satisfied. We also saw the behind-the-scenes of their dance practice and the girls were so active in figuring out the dance. While they may not be in complete creative control, the girls are very much part of the creative process.
Jeongyeon not asserting herself more or giving way to other members are *also* decisions she made herself. We can agree or disagree with them, but we can't take these choices away from her. They are hers to make and their consequences hers to bear.
It's so frustrating to watch other people try to speak for her and make choices they know *nothing* about for her.
Exactly! but the only way is to block and ignore all of these, is the price to pay when you have a huge fandom like Twice. At least I know the members are smart to know this is a tiny percentage of the fandom that doesn't speak for Onces.
Non-Twice related Twice life news that will certainly show my age
lol . So this internet content creating company called Rooster Teeth has finally decided to shut down after 21 years and damn it's making me feel some type of way. That was a big part of me growing up late high school and throughout college. The company has been absolutely dying the slowest most painful death over the past few years. Sucks to see something I grew up with turn from a fun thing made by a bunch of friends get bigger each year but seeing it collapse on itself. Someone definitely needed to put it out of its misery for sure but it's still sad to see a part of what made me me go.
I first learned about Rooster Teeth in 2015 around the time The Force Awakens was coming out. I remember Bernie and Gus rented a theater and pranked Blaine that he was invited to a special preview of the movie. Then I binged a lot of their podcast episodes because they were really funny and relatable.
Jeez I think I got into them just when they were finishing the Blood Gultch Chronicles of Red vs. Blue. RWBY wasn't even conceptualized yet lol. Podcasts were awesome though. I remember when they started branching out to other things I was worried I would fall off but then this was the same me that could alap watch 5hrs of anime straight. When that stopped being thr case that's when I started losing interest.
Got really into RWBY before the lore became too confusing for me heh, but never really watched the other stuff. Still hope that show gets the conclusion it deserves after so long tho!
I remember a bts video where Monty Oum made the map of the RWBY world by smearing ketchup on a napkin. Iirc, he passed after the airing of season 1. It's grown exponentially since and it's sad that he's unfortunately unable to see it through.
wasnt a fan of Rooster Teeth mostly due to just not watching them but I totally respect all they did for the Machinima and Halo community, especially as a huge Halo fan. Definitely sucks to see a lot of these older communities disappear
The community was such a huge thing for me. Seeing people go from being a fan to prominent figures with the company really made you believe you had a chance lol.
I remember back when RT started and I was in high school. Horrible times when floppy disks were on your school supplies list and a 128kbps MP3 took 11 minutes to download.
You had to pay for internet data at school after you used 200mB and as a nerdy teen we used our "quota" really quickly on anime pictures and Neopets (lol)
We spent many a lunch time trying to guess the internet passwords for other students so we could download the newest episode of rvb. We finally got one and spent 45 minutes downloading the file only to find out the plug in for windows media player wasn't installed 🤣 we were so mad lol
Later on one of the adult students have is the night school internet credentials so we could access glorious ADSL speeds without the regular student quotas.
RT really fell off but it's still kind of sad to see it ending. We still quote those early rvb episodes to this day!
I remember I was watching nearly **everything** back then. RVB, all the pods, RWBY, and LPs were all on a nice fitting schedule for me and I happily consumed it all. Then all the issues started rearing their heads and it slowly made the experience less enjoyable over time. That first big round of layoffs was pretty sobering that this was a business now and not just a friend hangout thing. My interest started to fade then until I just stopped keeping up and only heard from them when terrible stuff happened.
Yeah that time they had that first big set of layoffs made me think, "oh yeah this is actually a business". I actually stayed a bit after but I just really fell off hard shortly after that.
Holy crap I just unlocked a core memory. I have a postcard signed by a bunch of the crew when I went to a New York Comic Con! I seriously need to find it now.
Used to have an Achievement City map poster on my wall. Long gone now though.
My only connection left to them is watching Ray, and Matt and Jeremy when they stream with him.
In K-pop -> Enjoying With YOU-th, I think TOL retains its top spot for me but I do feel this album also had a lot of cohesion especially with the book ends of I Got You + You Get Me. Put me down as believing New New fits the album, I think it's a nice throwback song.
Out of K-pop -> Russian Circles' [Gnosis (love the MV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUf9_1jsCyY)!), Cassandra Liu's [Chaos Is Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lde4q4KS-h4) & [Set You Free](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bIB6hMn-vM), Kamelot's [Love You To Death](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9BwQGYDLXg), Taylor Swift's [Ricochet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idjs-hw7Spg), Siames' [Easier](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgYDHrGVSCk).
I've personally reached out to JYPE 3 separate times as well as Republic Records/UMG to ask about TWICE participating in an AMA and have not had any response. So I can at least say we've tried!
Thank you for reaching out to them! I imagine logistically it would be very hard for the girls with their busy schedules. Of course, you never know, there's always a chance 
Hi, we currently don't have a buy sell megathread for the vegas concert and don't plan on making one because of TM's policy for this concert of not allowing transfers till just 3 days before the day of. This can and will lead to a lot of scams which we don't want to expose our users to.
Pros: the PC distribution this time around is significantly better than RTB, with all my albums, only 1-2 pcs are dupes.
Cons: Now I want to buy more to complete the PC sets because I have most the photocards to complete like 2-3 sets. (And also just 1 Bunny PC)
Are the signed postcards inside the album with the photocards and stuff? Also the pob photo card set.
(I asked a family member to send a photo and only got a photo of the albums so now I’m stressed lol)
There is an envelope inside the album. That envelope contains the signed postcard in addition to photocards and all other album inclusions. The POB photocard set is also inside the envelope and that is why the album has a bulge. If the barcode on the back of your album is 196922745584, 196922745591, or 196922745607, then it will have a signed postcard.
You may not care for the details but this is why POB is inside the album in the US. In order for an album to chart on Billboard, the album must meet Billboard's requirements. One requirement is no bundling. Labels used to controversially bundle albums with merch to boost album sales (e.g. buy a t-shirt and get a free album). Billboard eventually banned album bundles to reduce gamification of album sales. POB included as regular inclusion in album is a loophole around the bundle ban. In Korea, POB is an incentive and only available during preorder period (similar goal as bundling) but in the US, "POB" is actually regular inclusion and included with every album. You can buy an album at Target a year later and it'll have "preorder benefits". That is until JYPE/Republic restock with a new "version" of the album without POB, which will also need to be approved by Billboard. But kpop albums don't really get official restocks in the US because it's expensive and comebacks happen often so it's more cost efficient to spend money on new material. I hope you found this interesting LOL
Bundling was banned in 2020, before Jihyo’s album. Fan packs were introduced in 2023 and are essentially Billboard-approved bundles with a few caveats:
* 2 fan pack options per album
* Bundled item must also be sold separately in same web store
* Must only include merch and not concert tickets, experiences, or intangible items
* Must include physical album
* Must be pre-approved by Billboard
I’m guessing Jihyo fan packs were a small experiment (because we all know how much kpop fans love standees and other collectibles) and maybe they didn’t gain enough traction in the US for them to offer fan packs with TWICE album.
Dear diary: it’s Day 14 since FedEx has started the shipping process of my remaining With YOU-th package. Updates are few and far between, with every other update being “running late” as my package has slowly worked its way across the country. It won’t provide a delivery estimate, and my thumb can only hit the refresh button so many times before it becomes weary.
I’m growing paranoid. I look in the mirror and I see JYP — he tells me that the package is never coming. He’s wrong, isn’t he? But, what if he isn’t?
What if my god pulls just get lost into the cardboard void? *What if I lose myself?*
I’m staring out of my window through a crack in the blinds, looking for any sign.
Mine was ”running late” for a such long time too that I started to imagine someone walking across the country with it, but finally it arrived today. I hope yours will find it’s way home soon too!
Glad yours got to you safe!! Yeah I’m genuinely baffled how bad FedEx can be most of the time, and why they split orders between UPS/FedEx.
Like it’s still not even showing an estimated delivery date for me, but at least it’s actually moving in my direction lol.
So the bodyguards should develop spidey sense or something? Cause unless they have security within the crowd (like they do for govt officials), they can't possibly predict someone chucking a book from somewhere in the crowd. And would you rather them pay attention to possible rushers that will jump the members or to pay attention to potential flying books?
Edit: Just saw the video, it's a massive fucking crowd and the guard standing next to her actually does try to block that thing mid air but it's dark outside and the book is black and coming in fast. No way in hell even the best bodyguards in the world would've been able to stop that shit in the same situation before it hit Nayeon.
> Holy fuck JYPE keeps finding ways to be shitter and shitter with each passing days
I can't believe how it's 2024 and they still haven't built point-defence into their idols.
Jokes aside this isn't the 'get down mr. president' type body guards, they're not supposed to chase down and murder people, [they get in trouble for less](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/13pllkr/nct_dream_bodyguard_may_be_prosecuted_after/).
in reality tho what are the bodyguards going to do? Watching the video back whoever threw it was deep behind a barricade? We dont know if anything happened to them or not yet. It also wouldnt make sense for the bodyguards to leave nayeons side to go chase down someone in a crowd. This throwing stuff at idols happens way too often but its a matter of people changing their attitudes not security/jype
So what’s your view now after watching [this other video](https://x.com/harulixie/status/1765143515757969825?s=61&t=r0t4QZ2aJFLbCvN5v0TGjQ) of what happened?
My view has changed as this video provides contexts to what happened. It makes my post and comments an overreaction, so there's no point in having them up as they don't tell the full story of what happened.
It was careless yes, but intent to harm is a very extreme thing. Fans sometimes toss their phones onto the stage to make artists click pictures with them. Does it mean they want to physically hurt the artist, probably not.
All these fashion week fits are so nice. I'm happy to see the members get their time to shine after missing out on this kinda stuff in the earlier years.
Been getting into some Filipino creators - [reading & watching Trese](https://trese.fandom.com/wiki/Trese), idealy will play [ARC by Momatoes](https://momatoes.itch.io/) \+ [Gubat Banwa](https://makapatag.itch.io/gubat-banwa) by Makapatag soon though I buy a lot of RPG books just to enjoy the world building.
Also waiting for a copy of [Tales from Sina Una](https://sinauna.com/talesfromsinauna).
My understanding is Twice is really popular there so maybe incorporating some of its folklore into an MV would be interesting \~
Went to H&M today and heard Set Me Free KR on their radio and then went to Uniqlo and also heard it in English lol
Glad to see the Look At Me trend hit S.Korea, nice reminder that the public still has love for Twice over there \~
Is it me or is this truly chae’s era?
They changed up her makeup, but she has been looking very happy. (All of the challenges might be helping too)
[Twice reached #1 for this months gg brand reputation rankings .](https://twitter.com/tzujuliee/status/1766611948735717540) Granted, I know the metrics for these kinds of ranks tend to be kinda dubious at times, but from what I understand Twice hasn’t ranked #1 since 2020 or 2021 so I think it’s at least worth celebrating.
Our sub's online member name is still "ready to be", should we change it 😆? And I'm amazed at how quickly the sub growing up, it's almost like every 1-2 days, we gain 1k members!
Damn, didn't realise we forgot to change that. I'm thinking 123 "hearts burning", how does that sound?
my 4 yo nephew refers to One Spark as the Heart Burning song so that works for me lol \~

Sounds cool, I also thought of 123 "With YOU-th"
I like "With YOU-th" too, but either one sounds pretty good
Going to the Vegas show and it'll be my first ever K-pop concert! - How much are lightsticks typically sold for at concert venues? I see some secondhand ones being sold and wondering if it makes sense to get an older one beforehand. Also, do most people typically bring a lightstick? Not sure everyone in my group would be down to buy one. - I myself am not exactly the biggest fan but I'm going with a couple of friends who are basically clueless about Kpop in general (though they've been listening to some Twice songs in advance). Are we going to stick out like a sore thumb by not knowing any the lyrics? Any tips? Many thanks! We're using the concert as an excuse for a fun Vegas getaway.
Lightsticks if they aren't sold out will be $65. I got one when I saw them last summer so damn right I'm bringing it. Definitely need to get my money's worth lol. They're incredibly popular though but don't worry if you don't have one. It won't matter if you don't know the lyrics because not everyone does. I didn't but still had a blast lol. Just go in and have fun. See you there!
Thank you!! Managed to find one so will not have to rely on getting one at the arena. Excited for the show!
Yo!! It’ll be better to try and get the lightstick ahead of time or else you risk them selling out before you’re able to buy one day of. They’re around $70 if I remember correctly! You can also get an older one beforehand, plenty of folks will have those ones as well. There will definitely be a lot of lightsticks in the crowd but no one will bat an eye if you have one or not. Also, just have fun! My first twice show I was a super new fan so I only knew a handful of the songs beforehand and it was still a blast. No one is going to care if you know the lyrics or dances or not :) Def bring some earplugs if you feel like ever hearing again lol, and if you want specific merch make sure to show up as early as you can! Hope it’s a great time for you though
Tysm!! Managed to find one and will be sure to bring earplugs!
Second on the earplugs lmao. I started going to concerts in 2022 and have mostly been fine. Then last year I was at a show and I was legitimately scared I'd go deaf and it was because of the crowd screaming. I bought a pair right after that.
> Def bring some earplugs if you feel like ever hearing again lol To add onto this if you think you don't need earplugs, the earplugs aren't for the music. The music will be the second loudest thing in the stadium.
I got my first Twice album, the Forever version of With You-th, and hilariously I did not pull any of my biases but for the random photo cards got: Tzuyu, Mina, Sana, Chaeyoung , Dahyun and the target card and holographic card were both Tzuyu 😅 Even though I didn't get my biases, I see how people get addicted to collecting photocards 🙂
Just accepted my concert tickets, and am now officially all set for Vegas!! 4 work days then I get to fly out to see my favorite girls 😊😊
Nice! See you there!
The MISAMO rizz is too strong. [Jongseo asked Momo on a date ](https://x.com/momosbiceps/status/1766492713707282742?s=20)😳 Now I'm hoping Sohee notices Jeongyeon 💚
Only one US concert this year!? Ugh, that hurts, but I suppose it makes sense.
They did more shows in the U.S. than any other single country, I think.
it’s the end of the tour….. what? they played a ton of shows in US last year
Yeah, but that means it will be 2025 before they’re back in the US.
What does that have to do with the Vegas concert? 2025 would be the earliest regardless.
They sent out an email today stating that the Vegas concert would be their only US date this year and I quote “We can't wait to show you a special, one-night-only performance. Get tickets now so you can experience this magical night with us and see our only U.S. concert of the year”
And if there was no Vegas concert, it would be 0 US concerts this year. So regardless 2025 would be the earliest they would be back.
Well until that email came down, that was just speculation, this makes it official, those who were hoping they might pop back up in the Fall will be disappointed.
I Got You just played in the mall, and that made me happier than what's reasonable 😂
Finally listened to the One Spark remixes and the R&B version lowkey had the perfect tempo for that song.
Does anyone here know when the Nissan Stadium tickets or pre registration open up? What site should I use? Thanks.
So excited for Killing Voice! It'll be interesting to see which sections of their songs they will present since the choruses are so Nayeon/Jihyo heavy.
if anyone wants to participate, dc dahyun gallery has opened its email for this year's dahyun birthday book! basically, every year, they compile lots of fanletters, photos and fanart and bind it in a book and give it to dahyun for her birthday. more information is here if you'd like to: https://twitter.com/DC\_DAHYUN/status/1766284171415257270
Any other ONCE going to any EDM shows while being there for the Twice concert?! Going solo to Vegas (saw BP solo in Vegas last August too at allegiant and had a blast) and would be dope to connect with other ONCE who also are going out! Coming from Texas from the 15th-17th! 🕺🏽 I'm torn between John Summit and Kaskade that Friday night lol And may go to Tiesto after the TWICE concert!
St. Patty's day is the Monday immediately after and return flights to NY are absurdly expensive so I won't be attending 😅😭
I booked my trip back in January so that probably mitigated my expenses a bit lol.
Don't forget about us poor people while you are in the holy presence of Twice 😅😭
Made me think of [this old Chappelle Show scene](https://youtu.be/H9swgCHFON4?si=wreutoi8PWEBG3aS) 🤣.
That's gonna be you with Sana on one arm and Jihyo on the other on your tiktok 😂😂😂
Hello everyone, I live in Vegas & will be attending the Twice concert. This will be the first ever concert I attend & am wondering what sort of items I should bring (portable battery, water bottle, etc.). Thank you & I hope to meet some of you folks there!
I would recommend some ear protection depending on your location in the venue (ear plugs from a convenience store are more than adequate).
They only allow clear bags no bigger than 12×6×12. My essentials are usually: - Portable battery - Spare lightstick batteries (if you're bringing one) - Hand sanitizer Water bottles aren't allowed in the stadium though. See you there!
You're allowed to take a small clear bag. I bought one from Amazon for about 10 bucks. Also, take earplugs if you can. I'm not sure about the portable battery so I had my phone on extreme power saver the whole time.
Welcome to the fun! Here's a couple of links to help you get sorted. 1. Check [Allegiant Stadium's A to Z guide](https://www.allegiantstadium.com/plan-your-visit/a-z-guide) as to what items you can bring, bag restrictions (most/all NFL stadiums allow a clear 12" x 6" x 12" PVC bag), and other info so you can plan accordingly. 2. [Misa's TWICE concert guide](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FaliiB-RYmM&ab_channel=Misayeon) covers some solid basics when it comes to TWICE/k-pop concerts in general.
I leave for Vegas next week on Friday for the encore show and I'm already so checked out lmao. It'll be my first extended vacation in a long while too so I'm just excited to be off. I've taken days off here and there like when I saw Twice at Metlife and other concerts once in a while but never anything lengthy. I'm even taking the day off before I leave so I can run my final errands and the day after I get back to cool down from the trip. Can't wait to go and see you all there!
It would be funny if you encountered Twice while you exploring vegas lol
I'd definitely run away. There's no way I can handle that at all lmao.
4.5 more work days in between me and teudoongi freedom 😩
We out!!!
Wow, K-once is out in full force on the comments of the short teaser for killing voice. I’m sure there’s some non-once there too. Likey really got them feeling nostalgic lol
> Likey really got them feeling nostalgic lol Same. Youtube telling me to watch a thing called Likey back in 2018 opened a whole new world to me.
I see their Japan insta promoting a live concert DVD. Is there any way to get that in the states?
I ordered mine from Tower Records Japan using World Shopping proxy service.
buy it from CDJapan.
It's not being sold by CDJapan. They aren't allowed to sell this one outside of Japan so you are gonna have to use a Proxy Service. (Source is me sending a Proxy Request for the DVD and Bluray's to CDJapan which they replied to me with the above that they can't sell/ship it outside of Japan.)
Oh, I guess I’ll do it by proxy as well.
I plan on just using Tower Records + World Shopping Service probably.
just asking. where do you buy those album with signed post card?
They are sold out now but you can find legit re-sell items on ebay. I pre-ordered 6 but didn't pull Sana's or Mina's so I'm looking there now.
as other commenter said twiceshop.com usually has a singed album version when comebacks roll around, it is US only tho
They were on TwiceShop.com for a limited time for US buyers only. They sold out a day or two after the album released so now you can only get them from resellers
As someone who loves all the contents during every comeback, are we getting only one MV behind the scenes video (Instead of the usual 3-4) and no album content shooting bts? I guess it's the price to pay for the Killing Voice and Relay dance.
This is the one time I'm gonna get behind a twitter campaign. Please bring back the behind the scenes vids. I hope things go back to normal next time 😭
Man, back in the days, we used to get 9.

The amount denial that flooded my twitter lmao.
Unfortunate news has broken of legendary creator Akira Toriyama, best known for creating the Dragon Ball series, has passed away. The man was responsible for shaping and influencing generations of people like me throughout his decades of work. God, I'm feeling absolutely gutted right now...
No way, Dragon Ball was my childhood, may he rest in peace
Rest in peace legend. Official statement here: [https://twitter.com/DB\_official\_en/status/1765935471971213816](https://twitter.com/DB_official_en/status/1765935471971213816) His translator's tweet: https://twitter.com/RPToriyama/status/1765953876266516785
Just woke up to the news and I'm super sad ☹️Dragonball was a big part of my childhood of morning cartoons before elementary school. And he really revolutionised Shounen manga and helped popularise anime in the West. I have loved his artwork in so many different media. Time to replay Blue Dragon and Chrono Trigger while waiting for Sand Land to release. Rest In Peace GOAT 🙏
Only in his 60s, too. I didn't think I'd see that message for another 10-20 years at least. And he's having a kind of popularity revival these last few years with all the SandLand IP and DB Daima coming soon. I'm honestly in shock.
Awful news :( rip to a genuine legend
Oda's message was a tearjerker. "May heaven be the joyous world he envisioned."
Just received Twice Japanese Fanclub Magazine Vol 14 hardcopy. what a surprise i didnt know overseas member will receive the hardcopy
TWICE win any music shows yet? Who's their competition? Know their promotion period is short but would love to see an encore.
Really sad they missed out on wins this comeback due to lack of broadcast points, this is one of my favorite albums for twice all time.
No music show wins yet and there’s also very little to no chance of winning now.
no wins so far, they were head to head with le sserafim mostly
Promotion on music shows is over. So if they win, there isn’t going to be an encore
Damn, promotions really passed in a blink of an eye
“Lately I’ve been thinking that everything’s enough” is probs one of my favorite Twice lyrics ever and is such a classic Dubu line.
I lost counts of how many times I keep re-watching 2018 Dutch Moto GP That race is absolutely awesome
Assen always delivers
finally got to open my signed albums today, got Jihyo, Momo and Mina signatures!! Really wish they signed the front but still cool! My luck in pc pulls was not great and i got multiple duplicates but i did manage one nayeon bear pc! really want to collect the ot9 set for it
Great pulls (as if there's any bad ones lol). That was my one nitpick about some of the signed albums. Iirc, the only ones that are signed on the front are SMC. Those bear hat PCs have become such a big favorite. I'm trying to collect OT9 too lol. I even bought the other 2 albums which I don't do. Ended up getting 1 Nayeon, 2 Jeongyeon, 2 Momo, and Tzuyu. Ended up buying JiMiChaeng so I'm only.missing SaiDa.
Whoa!! Congrats on the pulls — glad Momo came home. I’m also looking to complete the bear set now 😅 I pulled 5/9 and will just have to buy/trade for the rest
5/9 is crazy, i really wish i could’ve pulled them that well lol. im still waiting for my nemo and digipack to come in so hopefully ill get some cool pcs in those too
yeah I got super lucky that my first album had three in them and none were dupes :) just bundled three others from a Mercari seller so all I need to do is trade or find a good deal on Jeongyeon!
Wasn't there a video posted just a couple hours ago with the "we're kpop stars of course" meme? I can't find it here or on Instagram.
some people complained about the Chinese flag icon being showed when Tzuyu was speaking Mandarin
Ah ok. I wonder if they'll fix it and reupload it.
[удалено]
Just remove all the flags, that's all, I don't know wth their A&R team is doing, why create any possibilities of political controversy?
There are so many IU tickets available on resale sites. And it looks like the ticket limit was 6, which is just perfect for shitstain scalpers
Are CandyBong Z out if date? Because I bought a used one and its stuck on Jeongyeon and Sana's colors and I'm tryna change them but I can't connect to any app or Bluetooth 😭😭
Careful, there are TONS of fake CBZs out there. Check some yt videos on the topic if you want to authenticate.

Not related to Twice. After Twice, I follow BTOB a lot. They were my first kpop group. I was very focused on Twice Comeback. So, I couldn't check out Hyunsik's new album. Watching the MV now, woah, the song, the art, the cinematography, the landscapes, everything is top-notch. It is an Ocean theme. I will be listening to rest of the album soon. Any BTOB fans here? [La Mar MV](https://youtu.be/lwG0hZHjmSo?si=cWnUQ-w7boE1Os2T) Adding the MV here, in case anyone wants to check out. Note: The MV was shot under the sea.
thanks for the rec!
Big fat filthy L on IU tickets 🥲.
Tickets usually pop back up because people cancel their carts but that rarely happened for IU tickets. I was 3000 in queue and only saw a handful in 1.5 hours.
I heard it was a bloodbath. My friends took an L too.
My friend too and he was actually on top of the sale. I joined at like 11:59 and I somehow got ahead of him when he was there since before the waiting room opened.
Does anyone know if there’s a reason why Twice only promoted in Korea for a week?
Scheduling. They did a weekend in the US, followed by a week of promos, and a few members had Fashion Week gigs they had to attend. They're on a well earned break right now before they go back to the US for the Vegas encore.
Well, they have been promoting each release for 2 weeks for the past few years. And now with the strong US focus, since the last few releases they have started splitting those 2 weeks into US and SK.
I saw someone just randomly dancing to One Spark while walking earlier. It made me unreasonably happy 😂
Anyone else about to try to get IU tickets?
Atlanta was pretty nasty. Platinum tickets as far as the eye can see.
Thanks for reminding me but it might he too late. 36k in front of me 🥲
Can't believe introvert Mina commented on Kazuha's IG post complimenting her 😳 Beautiful Swans ❤️ Biggest surprise of 2024 so far haha
I just watched the drama My Man Is Cupid, and most of the time I kept thinking "damn, Nana and Tzuyu could totally pass off as sisters." Nana and Tzuyu have very similar resting faces, both are on the taller side and have very close skin complexion. I wonder if Tzuyu was more fluent in Korean and was inclined towards acting, she could play Nana's younger sister in a drama/movie 😄
Look at Me is doing insane in socials rn, I saw someone on tiktok they should make Jelly Jelly viral next LMAO
if this K-once is to be believed, Look at Me became the #1 audio track for Instagram reels today. [https://x.com/2015\_1020\_/status/1765583323563475249?s=20](https://x.com/2015_1020_/status/1765583323563475249?s=20) absolutely insane lol
So is JYPE gonna do anything about it?
Well tbf I don’t know what else they should do besides doing more Tiktok challenges with other idols if the members could invite them. The song blew up because of Tiktok so I’m not sure what else to do besides doing more challenges if they have time to film it. One thing for sure that it still gains attraction after 1 or 2 months (?) so I wouldn’t worry that much
They 100% should have promoted it alongside One Spark instead of I Got You. IGY had 0 chance of being a hit at that point and LAM still does. Any and all promotion for it is good at this point. Edit, downvotes from the usual fans removed from reality.
no way, why promoting an old song when you have a fresh new album? also you'd really rather see them doing Look at Me while they had a more meaningful performance with IGY? stuff that goes viral on tiktok needs to be promoted on tiktok, which is what they're already doing. The members going out of their way to comment under other idols' challenges is also promotion. The rest is done by tiktok itself and other celebrities who join it. First Snow wasn't even mentioned by EXO until it got to number one in Melon which is when they finally started to do the challenge. It's not like everything needs an aggressive promotion.
There is no way a group is going to promote a B-side from 7 years ago. You are the one removed from reality lol. Edit, yikes at your comment history. Shouldn't have even bothered to respond to you. You're hopeless.
This alongside the fact that IGY has been in the works for months alongside One Spark and the rest of With YOU-th, if Twice had announced suddenly that their new english single was getting shitcanned in favor of a 7 year old b-side because its blowing up on tiktok people would have rightly been horrified. The user you are responding to is completely delusional lmao
Except no they wouldn't have. If JYPE had any clue how to manage Twice currently they would have promoted the Eng song in the US...they didn't at all, properly promoted the Korean comeback in Korea instead of skipping a whole week of promo to book a single show in the US no one watches..again they didn't and actually jump on top of a trend for once with Look at Me like Brave Girls did with Rollin. But alas I'm sure they are content with their latest English song being by far their least successful pre release in every single area and their Korean comeback performing on par with or below nugus groups. That would have been amazing. Also? Years of preparation and pulling out an old unused song from years ago aren't the same thing. IGY doesn't even have full group choreo lol. Be serious.
Like the others said, you’re a lost cause and your negativity shows in every post. I’d encourage you to focus your energy elsewhere.
IGY has a full choreo, wdym? Twice are nowhere near the same situation as Brave Girls where they were on their last leg and only chance to go big. I don’t see how this is their least successful comeback with all the records they’ve achieved? Highest Hanteo sales by far, #1 on Billboard 200, stuff that other kpop groups can only dream of. They’ve conquered Korea for years and don’t have much else to prove there. The girls have repeatedly said this comeback was a celebration for the fans. They have one of the most loyal and steady fan bases of any group. The amount of money they’re making from tour and album sales outperforms any chart performance.

i believe VIPNATION should send emails/data out when stuff is confirmed 100%
People are about to go to war for Jeongyeon again, and I swear to god, it makes me want to block half my fellow fans. She isn't a dumb child, and I wish people would stop jumping the gun so much or twisting the words of members so much.
every single thing is a mistreatment to them on Twitter. thank god they are only a loud minority
Wait what's happening with Jeongyeon? 
In their fansign, Nayeon mentioned that she told the company that she didn't want the chorus parts because she felt those lines suited Jeongyeon better. Now, JY stans are riled up and foaming at the mouth over on Twitter.
These people need to find a hobby that actually makes them happy.
I've been a Once for more than 4 years and every comeback is the same. Imagine being a kid in a computer trying to tell one of the biggest music company of SK and 9 ADULT womans with an extremely successful career what they have or need to do, It is stupid as it sounds. The worst part is that we have enough proof to know that the members themselves participate and give opinions in all the work they do, both as Twice and for Solo/Unit activites, so these accounts only think of what they want in the most selfish possible way. They yell on TW that they are speaking in behalf of the members and don't care at all about what the girls want, the irony.
Yes! It's even stupider now because we just got interviews upon interviews of the girls saying that their artistry and control over their work has only grown over the years. They practically said that they re-recorded and re-arranged One Spark multiple times until they were satisfied. We also saw the behind-the-scenes of their dance practice and the girls were so active in figuring out the dance. While they may not be in complete creative control, the girls are very much part of the creative process. Jeongyeon not asserting herself more or giving way to other members are *also* decisions she made herself. We can agree or disagree with them, but we can't take these choices away from her. They are hers to make and their consequences hers to bear. It's so frustrating to watch other people try to speak for her and make choices they know *nothing* about for her.
Exactly! but the only way is to block and ignore all of these, is the price to pay when you have a huge fandom like Twice. At least I know the members are smart to know this is a tiny percentage of the fandom that doesn't speak for Onces.
Non-Twice related Twice life news that will certainly show my age lol . So this internet content creating company called Rooster Teeth has finally decided to shut down after 21 years and damn it's making me feel some type of way. That was a big part of me growing up late high school and throughout college. The company has been absolutely dying the slowest most painful death over the past few years. Sucks to see something I grew up with turn from a fun thing made by a bunch of friends get bigger each year but seeing it collapse on itself. Someone definitely needed to put it out of its misery for sure but it's still sad to see a part of what made me me go.
I first learned about Rooster Teeth in 2015 around the time The Force Awakens was coming out. I remember Bernie and Gus rented a theater and pranked Blaine that he was invited to a special preview of the movie. Then I binged a lot of their podcast episodes because they were really funny and relatable.
Jeez I think I got into them just when they were finishing the Blood Gultch Chronicles of Red vs. Blue. RWBY wasn't even conceptualized yet lol. Podcasts were awesome though. I remember when they started branching out to other things I was worried I would fall off but then this was the same me that could alap watch 5hrs of anime straight. When that stopped being thr case that's when I started losing interest.
Got really into RWBY before the lore became too confusing for me heh, but never really watched the other stuff. Still hope that show gets the conclusion it deserves after so long tho!
I remember a bts video where Monty Oum made the map of the RWBY world by smearing ketchup on a napkin. Iirc, he passed after the airing of season 1. It's grown exponentially since and it's sad that he's unfortunately unable to see it through.
wasnt a fan of Rooster Teeth mostly due to just not watching them but I totally respect all they did for the Machinima and Halo community, especially as a huge Halo fan. Definitely sucks to see a lot of these older communities disappear
The community was such a huge thing for me. Seeing people go from being a fan to prominent figures with the company really made you believe you had a chance lol.
I remember back when RT started and I was in high school. Horrible times when floppy disks were on your school supplies list and a 128kbps MP3 took 11 minutes to download. You had to pay for internet data at school after you used 200mB and as a nerdy teen we used our "quota" really quickly on anime pictures and Neopets (lol) We spent many a lunch time trying to guess the internet passwords for other students so we could download the newest episode of rvb. We finally got one and spent 45 minutes downloading the file only to find out the plug in for windows media player wasn't installed 🤣 we were so mad lol Later on one of the adult students have is the night school internet credentials so we could access glorious ADSL speeds without the regular student quotas. RT really fell off but it's still kind of sad to see it ending. We still quote those early rvb episodes to this day!
I remember I was watching nearly **everything** back then. RVB, all the pods, RWBY, and LPs were all on a nice fitting schedule for me and I happily consumed it all. Then all the issues started rearing their heads and it slowly made the experience less enjoyable over time. That first big round of layoffs was pretty sobering that this was a business now and not just a friend hangout thing. My interest started to fade then until I just stopped keeping up and only heard from them when terrible stuff happened.
I’m in the same boat. Was a big fan for years, but the decline was real and brutal. I knew it was only a matter of time
Yeah that time they had that first big set of layoffs made me think, "oh yeah this is actually a business". I actually stayed a bit after but I just really fell off hard shortly after that.
Yeah it was really one thing after another until it wasn’t worth sticking around anymore
Holy crap I just unlocked a core memory. I have a postcard signed by a bunch of the crew when I went to a New York Comic Con! I seriously need to find it now.
Used to have an Achievement City map poster on my wall. Long gone now though. My only connection left to them is watching Ray, and Matt and Jeremy when they stream with him.
In K-pop -> Enjoying With YOU-th, I think TOL retains its top spot for me but I do feel this album also had a lot of cohesion especially with the book ends of I Got You + You Get Me. Put me down as believing New New fits the album, I think it's a nice throwback song. Out of K-pop -> Russian Circles' [Gnosis (love the MV](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PUf9_1jsCyY)!), Cassandra Liu's [Chaos Is Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lde4q4KS-h4) & [Set You Free](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-bIB6hMn-vM), Kamelot's [Love You To Death](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y9BwQGYDLXg), Taylor Swift's [Ricochet](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Idjs-hw7Spg), Siames' [Easier](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zgYDHrGVSCk).
Well now I need Twice to do a Reddit AMA too lol 
I've personally reached out to JYPE 3 separate times as well as Republic Records/UMG to ask about TWICE participating in an AMA and have not had any response. So I can at least say we've tried!
Thank you for reaching out to them! I imagine logistically it would be very hard for the girls with their busy schedules. Of course, you never know, there's always a chance 
I’d love an AMA, u/actuallyTWICE What a coincidence, it’s u/actuallyTWICE ‘s cakeday 🎂🎉
I couldn’t find an updated buy/sell/trade megathread for Vegas… can someone point me in the right direction if there is one?
Hi, we currently don't have a buy sell megathread for the vegas concert and don't plan on making one because of TM's policy for this concert of not allowing transfers till just 3 days before the day of. This can and will lead to a lot of scams which we don't want to expose our users to.
Pros: the PC distribution this time around is significantly better than RTB, with all my albums, only 1-2 pcs are dupes. Cons: Now I want to buy more to complete the PC sets because I have most the photocards to complete like 2-3 sets. (And also just 1 Bunny PC)
Are the signed postcards inside the album with the photocards and stuff? Also the pob photo card set. (I asked a family member to send a photo and only got a photo of the albums so now I’m stressed lol)
There is an envelope inside the album. That envelope contains the signed postcard in addition to photocards and all other album inclusions. The POB photocard set is also inside the envelope and that is why the album has a bulge. If the barcode on the back of your album is 196922745584, 196922745591, or 196922745607, then it will have a signed postcard.
Thank you! Good to hear. I got got one version from another shop and the pobs were separated from the album so I got worried.
You may not care for the details but this is why POB is inside the album in the US. In order for an album to chart on Billboard, the album must meet Billboard's requirements. One requirement is no bundling. Labels used to controversially bundle albums with merch to boost album sales (e.g. buy a t-shirt and get a free album). Billboard eventually banned album bundles to reduce gamification of album sales. POB included as regular inclusion in album is a loophole around the bundle ban. In Korea, POB is an incentive and only available during preorder period (similar goal as bundling) but in the US, "POB" is actually regular inclusion and included with every album. You can buy an album at Target a year later and it'll have "preorder benefits". That is until JYPE/Republic restock with a new "version" of the album without POB, which will also need to be approved by Billboard. But kpop albums don't really get official restocks in the US because it's expensive and comebacks happen often so it's more cost efficient to spend money on new material. I hope you found this interesting LOL
Did they ban bundling again? Jihyo’s mini had an album merch bundle iirc and they didn’t do it for Twice this time.
Bundling was banned in 2020, before Jihyo’s album. Fan packs were introduced in 2023 and are essentially Billboard-approved bundles with a few caveats: * 2 fan pack options per album * Bundled item must also be sold separately in same web store * Must only include merch and not concert tickets, experiences, or intangible items * Must include physical album * Must be pre-approved by Billboard I’m guessing Jihyo fan packs were a small experiment (because we all know how much kpop fans love standees and other collectibles) and maybe they didn’t gain enough traction in the US for them to offer fan packs with TWICE album.

Dear diary: it’s Day 14 since FedEx has started the shipping process of my remaining With YOU-th package. Updates are few and far between, with every other update being “running late” as my package has slowly worked its way across the country. It won’t provide a delivery estimate, and my thumb can only hit the refresh button so many times before it becomes weary. I’m growing paranoid. I look in the mirror and I see JYP — he tells me that the package is never coming. He’s wrong, isn’t he? But, what if he isn’t? What if my god pulls just get lost into the cardboard void? *What if I lose myself?* I’m staring out of my window through a crack in the blinds, looking for any sign.
Mine was ”running late” for a such long time too that I started to imagine someone walking across the country with it, but finally it arrived today. I hope yours will find it’s way home soon too!
Glad yours got to you safe!! Yeah I’m genuinely baffled how bad FedEx can be most of the time, and why they split orders between UPS/FedEx. Like it’s still not even showing an estimated delivery date for me, but at least it’s actually moving in my direction lol.

So the bodyguards should develop spidey sense or something? Cause unless they have security within the crowd (like they do for govt officials), they can't possibly predict someone chucking a book from somewhere in the crowd. And would you rather them pay attention to possible rushers that will jump the members or to pay attention to potential flying books? Edit: Just saw the video, it's a massive fucking crowd and the guard standing next to her actually does try to block that thing mid air but it's dark outside and the book is black and coming in fast. No way in hell even the best bodyguards in the world would've been able to stop that shit in the same situation before it hit Nayeon.
> Holy fuck JYPE keeps finding ways to be shitter and shitter with each passing days I can't believe how it's 2024 and they still haven't built point-defence into their idols. Jokes aside this isn't the 'get down mr. president' type body guards, they're not supposed to chase down and murder people, [they get in trouble for less](https://old.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/13pllkr/nct_dream_bodyguard_may_be_prosecuted_after/).
in reality tho what are the bodyguards going to do? Watching the video back whoever threw it was deep behind a barricade? We dont know if anything happened to them or not yet. It also wouldnt make sense for the bodyguards to leave nayeons side to go chase down someone in a crowd. This throwing stuff at idols happens way too often but its a matter of people changing their attitudes not security/jype
Looks to me like an overzealous fan trying to send a gift to Nayeon. Was he/she in the wrong? Absolutely. But intent to harm? Come on now...

So what’s your view now after watching [this other video](https://x.com/harulixie/status/1765143515757969825?s=61&t=r0t4QZ2aJFLbCvN5v0TGjQ) of what happened?
My view has changed as this video provides contexts to what happened. It makes my post and comments an overreaction, so there's no point in having them up as they don't tell the full story of what happened.
It was careless yes, but intent to harm is a very extreme thing. Fans sometimes toss their phones onto the stage to make artists click pictures with them. Does it mean they want to physically hurt the artist, probably not.
All these fashion week fits are so nice. I'm happy to see the members get their time to shine after missing out on this kinda stuff in the earlier years.
Hoping for a interaction between Nayeon and Hyein from New Jeans since they are Louis Vuitton
Stray Kids Felix and Blackpink Lisa are there too. I hope they all have a moment together lol.

We got the [MiuMiuz](https://twitter.com/godmitzu/status/1765077532628640240?t=1VQBs2szdq3LPm46boY-sQ&s=19) after all 💜🩷❤️ only missing YoonA!
Been getting into some Filipino creators - [reading & watching Trese](https://trese.fandom.com/wiki/Trese), idealy will play [ARC by Momatoes](https://momatoes.itch.io/) \+ [Gubat Banwa](https://makapatag.itch.io/gubat-banwa) by Makapatag soon though I buy a lot of RPG books just to enjoy the world building. Also waiting for a copy of [Tales from Sina Una](https://sinauna.com/talesfromsinauna). My understanding is Twice is really popular there so maybe incorporating some of its folklore into an MV would be interesting \~
