After spending the last year filling massive stadiums from Texas to Tokyo, K-pop girl group TWICE is returning home to close out the most expansive and lucrative concert tour of its decade-long career.
The group’s agency, JYP Entertainment, said Tuesday that the nine-member ensemble will perform a three-night encore series from July 10-12 at the KSPO Dome in Olympic Park, located in southeastern Seoul. The highly anticipated shows will serve as the official grand finale for its sixth world tour, titled "This Is For."
The upcoming Seoul concerts will cap off a remarkable 12-month marathon. Since launching last July with a sold-out opening night at the Inspire Arena in Incheon, the tour has spanned 44 cities worldwide for a total of 81 performances. The sheer scale of the trek has reestablished TWICE’s position as a dominant global touring force, even as an aggressive new generation of K-pop acts competes for international streaming numbers and headlines.
The group’s recent run through North America, which concluded in Austin, Texas, this past April, drew an estimated 550,000 fans across 35 shows, setting a new milestone for the highest overall attendance ever achieved by a K-pop girl group in the region.
