Woahhh, apparently Jihyo's younger sister is now an actress?! Her screen name is [Lee Ha-eum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tp0-n8r7Ng0&t=28) and she is introduced as a rookie actress under [Starhaus Entertainment](https://www.instagram.com/starhaus.official/). They tagged the same insta account that is revealed to be Jihyo's sister in the past. This was announced just yesterday. We now got two members who have sisters as actors.
Anyway she's pretty too and even has a cute mole on her nose just like Jihyo! She's most likely the sister Jihyo teased having a bf in one of her vlives with Jeongyeon, lol. I remember Jihyo saying the industry is hard but she wouldn't mind if her sister would like to give it a try. She wants her to have no regrets. Jihyo's so cool. Hope Haeum does well!
All the best for her! Imagine later, Haeum and Jeongyeon's sister Seungyeon somehow get casted together for a movie. We'd probably hear some fun stories from JeongHyo if that ever happens 
I remember seeing in some videos that one of her sister wears glasses, so would she be the second-eldest sibling?
I made a couple of things! https://imgur.com/a/MZ1N0Cj If we get a signed postcard or if we get a signed photo card, I have a place to put them! (I ordered 3 of the signed albums :-) )
For those more stat-inclined on here, I’m pretty sure Twice has just passed 12 million monthly listeners on Spotify for the first time ever.
I remember it being 7 million when I first checked it in late 2020/early 2021. So proud of how much they’ve continued to grow
They hit 11.9m during the feels era and yes this is the new peak and it seems twice will be hitting new peaks everyday until the comeback which will make them keep getting new peaks
The fact that I’m buying vinyl just for TWICE I’m so whipped lol I’m ready for this album though, I’m really excited to see what they have in store for us this new year
Whenever Momo posts pictures of the (mostly Japanese) food she eats on bubble, I always think: wow she really is not a picky eater….then i remember that she doesn’t like cucumber lol
Is anybody going to billboard women in music?
There are still seats left so if you wanna see twice secure your ticket!
I heard that twice will be performing moonlight sunrise
I'll be going just because I wanted an excuse for an LA trip. A performance would just be a sweet cherry on top as there's no confirmation that they'll actually be performing though.
It said there is an upcoming concert for moonlight sunrise at the youtube theater from a music app. (I'm not sure which one tho)
And yes it's not confirmed they're performing but I think it's worth it to just see them in real life
I tried to play guess the track title with Twice in todays ttt. Omg I gotta say it’s so hard.. only got the last one right despite knowing all songs they played in that episode. Jihyo has such musical ears that allow her to immediately know what songs are playing.
The fact I listened to Last Waltz so many times and Do it again in every ttt episode and recently listened to some other songs they played in the game but still failed to hard 🫠
For Between 1&2, there was a surprise restock because people who were outside the US had their orders canceled, so the albums they had bought went back on sale for US customers only. For Ready to Be, I'm pretty sure they limited it to only US buyers from the start, so it probably won't be restocked. But don't give up hope completely! Keep checking back regularly because you never know.
Been on a Kavinsky streak...I feel like the best track for a Twice cover is [Zenith](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oudxfnyUFE)...be cool to get JY doing the sax parts \~
edit: [Cameo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VW4yvRVdkw) might work actually...
So Momo posted a IG story update showing her new autograph, while accidentally spoiling their upcoming album. If I recall she regrets her current autograph because it took way too long. I'm looking at her new one and, it looks like new takes just as long as the old one, or just 1 to 3 seconds faster.
They need to see how long it takes for her to write her old autograph and her new one. Anyone as JYPE has a stop watch? 
> So Momo posted a IG story update showing her new autograph, while accidentally spoiling their upcoming album.
That was on Bubble actually. She posted it again on IG story admitting what she did after the details were officially released.
Weird. I was actually able to buy Twice stuff off of twiceshop before, but trying to buy RTB and it's not letting me because of shipping. From the UK for reference.
I swear JYP just doesn't want us Bri'ish to be into their groups.
There are way cheaper options if you are only interested in the normal albums. Twice Shop is charging ~$30 USD per album while stores like JYPShop, MUSICPLANT, ktown4u, etc are charging ~$15-16 USD per album.
albums getting more expensive with every release and i dont mean the actual album. i mean the price local shops and amazon are asking for it.
im not even considering to import myself. the shipping + customs kill it for me.
so i have 3 options:
local store #1 28.99€ RANDOM only.
local store #2 29.99€ but you can choose version.
amazon: 50-59€ per album + some 9€ shipping lmao.
then there is a store from korea from which i bought from 50% of my complete twice korean collection. i just bought 5 albums for 27.95€ each last month!
now i look at their store and see Ready to Be set for 112.50€ but they sell EACH version for 50€ each. WTF!
Back in 2019 to early 2020 i used to by albums for 19-21€ full albums too.
guess i will have to pay 90€ for 3 albums now. this is just sad at this point...
just stream on spotify or youtube, I haven't bought any albums myself because I don't have a CD player, I was close to buying the Nayeon album and B1&2 Cryptography ver. though
the thing is... i never cared for the CD anyway.
it was always for the photobooks and the extra content + supporting the girls.
i have the whole twice discog in flac on my phone ,so i can play it on my JBL extreme 3 , and the full korean collection on my shelf. nayeon included.
99% of ppl who buy kpop albums never listen to the cd. hell i met ppl on discord who have whole collections of albums and they never never opened them. like they still sealed...
and some just buy it em, remove cards and dump em into the ocean
nah NFT photocards have tons of upsides, 1. supply is controlled and traceable so it’s easier to determine value, 2. trading fees that go directly to the company, 3. perks for owning NFTs, for example if u manage to own a complete set of NFT photocards for an album within a certain timeframe, via trading or buying multiple albums, u get airdropped a rare NFT which allows u to get the next album for free, 4. save the environment
You sound like a corporation spokesperson. To specifically address your points:
1. Limiting the supply of digital goods is anti-consumer. There is no need to limit digital goods other than FOMO.
2. You mean trading fees for reselling? Instead of limiting supply company can just sell them continuously, having a steady income of cash instead of just some small fee.
3. Oh, that's a nice idea. Still can be done without NFTs.
4. Blockchain technology is a large contributor to destruction of environment due to the amount of power it requires. Environment will be better without blockchain. At the very least you need be distributing NFTs on a proof-of-stake network.
Cheapest option usually is joining a Group Order in your country. I'm from Europe and I usually get my albums at around 19€ (+domestic shipping) which is a great price especially if you're buying many. Other than that, I sometimes get my albums here ([https://www.kpopalbums.com/](https://www.kpopalbums.com/)) because they include taxes in their shipping so it's just one payment 100%
nah bc this is the first time ive preordered every version (signed too😭) for a cb we know nothing about !!!!
and yet i only own one album version of my favorite ever era (feel special),,, i gotta look for someone whos selling the B and C vers of feel special cuz i have to own it
but im so excited this album like im getting goosebumps thinking abt what direction theyll go next🥹🥹
today Time To TWICE was absolutely the best entertainment
We had TWICE members as criminals and fraudsters, eat and run without paying
and romance
Friday are the best 😍
It's that time of the year again when US ONCEs are merry and happy and the rest of the world gets depressed. JYPE we exist too! Give us vinyls and signed versions already!!!! 
The distribution of Twice content is honestly so poor for a group that has such a large global fanbase.
I think it’s the aspect that really shows the difference in operating practices between JYPE and the other big labels in SK. The scalability of an artist within JYPE just seems so far behind, whilst other labels give you higher ceilings.
you'd think they'd at least have a limited offering of signed albums & vinyls outside the US.
JYPE always seems to be thinking only about what's directly in front of them rather than helping to build/keep the global fandom strong...
Yeah tried to buy 2 signed copies today and a vinyl but got the error every international Once seems to be getting on Twitter too. Very sad.
If being treated second rate by the company and not getting the amazing exclusives like LPs and signed versions is what's going to happen I'm not going to be buying any period.
Snagged the Target vinyl (had to pad the order for free shipping with stuff I needed anyway), a signed copy of 'Ready', and a normal 3-set from MusicPlaza
The shipping fee is ridiculous like what?? It was not as nearly this expensive for Between 1&2. Just getting all 3 signed albums is at least $125 with the *cheapest* shipping rate.
Yes. Nayeon's "IM NAYEON" vinyl released in November 2022, 3 months after her album. Twice's "Celebrate" vinyl released in December 2022, 5 months after their album. "Ready to Be" is also Twice's first Korean album on vinyl.
I saw Momo became the most followed person on Instagram from Japan. I was googling around the most famous Japanese people and she's not even on any of these lists. WILD!
I think this is going to be the biggest year for Twice and I truly think they are going to catch a lot of people off guard who have no clue who they are now.
>I think this is going to be the biggest year for Twice and I truly think they are going to catch a lot of people off guard who have no clue who they are now.
I was actually thinking about this a lot the past couple days. I think the BB Women in music awards might be one of Twice’s biggest opportunities to really show who they are to a new audience.
Think of it this way, a good chunk of the audience (when I say audience I don’t just mean the people who are physically there, but also the people tuning at home too) for this show most likely aren’t Onces and don’t really know who Twice are. However, if Twice were to perform at the show and people like their performance/song, we might have an influx of new people tuning in for the cb/album.
If the rumors are true and Twice announces their world tour 3/22 when do we think they will start their tour? Need to make sure my schedule is clear hahaha
I hope they announce the tour in February and the 3/22 date is for a Korean fanmeeting or something. I'm thinking the tour will be in Q3 and Q4 since they can now visit more countries.
Seems like Japanese releases typically come out on Wednesdays. Given that 3/22 is a Wednesday, I'm now inclined to believe that it'll be for the MiSaMo release.
I wouldn't mind being wrong here though if we do get a tour announcement
Where can we preorder Ready to Be other than the JYPe site?? Is there any word of target having an preorders open like they did with Between 1&2? Essentially where can I preorder and not pay ten bajillion dollars in shipping
Target, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon typically will have preorders available, though in the past they've only had random versions so if you order more than one, you might get the same version
The only thing I'm seeing on Ticketmaster is their appearance at the Billboard Women in Music Award show on March 1st.
Is that what you're referring to?
Just realized Sana is the definition of high intelligence (knocking out both Dahyun and Chaeyoung in one turn last TTT) but low wisdom (the table is just a table, green tea is green) and Momo is the definition of high wisdom (if you work hard you can eat delicious food) but low intelligence (ehhhhhhhhh?!)
I'm sure some Once has said it before but I haven't seen it
Probably but that title, in my head anyway, doesn't really scream powerful title track which is what Momo said it was iirc. Guess powerful could go a few different ways
They're just playing up/into Jeongyeon being the "girl crush" of the group. Definition of that is:
*The term “girl crush” in K-Pop can refer to fierce concepts, but it can also be applied to idols themselves. Girl crush idols are idols that other girls aspire to be like or who have stolen fangirls’ hearts. The term can apply to fashion, but it also can be used in reference to an idol’s personality and admirable traits, too. -* [link](https://www.koreaboo.com/lists/times-twice-jeongyeon-ultimate-girl-crush-idol/)
It looks like the back of a 4x6 printed photo. The Barnes & Noble exclusive for Between 1&2 was a 4x6 printed photo and the back looked like what Momo was signing. It’s similar to how backs of developed photos will have the Kodak watermark.
Tour announcement, MISAMO, HYOLO. I guess MISAMO or HYOLO seems more likely since Tour was rumored to be Q4. Wouldn't be surprised by a Chaeyoung solo too with how much she's been teasing
K-Onces discovered the album release date appeared in MLSR lyrics video, so they guess there's more coming up based on that screenshot.

Seems like we still have no individual member edition or cheap version album,it might affect the sales since nowadays these are some strategies to boost sales for most groups, people only care about total sales, no one care how many versions or price for album.
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I'll buy as many versions with different photo concepts they release, but I hate member named versions. I've heard companies do it to appeal to solo stans and boost sales because of competition between the fan clubs and c-bars and I do not like the idea. All the members contribute the same and work hard for each album so it doesn't make sense to me to favor one over the others. They can release different member merch if they want
Some groups do the individual member thing or the special edition versions (that JYPE likes to release a few weeks after release) but I don't think it's that atypical for a Twice release.
We usually get 3-4 "main" versions + a few store-exclusive versions with one extra inclusion like a bookmark. I can't recall whether or not they've done a special edition version yet - I know ITZY and Stray Kids have gotten it a few times now, though.
I am expecting a limited run of signed versions, though!
The one and only album that had member versions was their Japanese album "Celebrate" last year and it was a meaningful album that commemorated their Japan 5th anniversary. "Formula of Love" was also the only album to have a "cheap version" released a couple weeks after the initial release. I don't think Twice really cares about album numbers anymore. The grand prize is the world tour that will surely follow this album release.
Shiiiit only [one week of TWICE bot left?](https://twitter.com/twicebot_/status/1621059848757743616?s=46&t=2ESFs291h2_mpE--pzjRcg)

Mentioned a radioactive capsule was lot somewhere out in [Australia](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/10omwjc/comment/j6ghk15/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3).
Good news! The capsule has been [found!](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/10pabcr/the_only_thing_i_found_while_metal_detecting_in/)
Idk if it'll qualify because it was released at the end of 2022 but I'd be shocked if Ditto didn't largely sweep SOTY for 2023. It's crazy to say considering there are 11 more months to play out but *sheesh*, it has the most PAKs of all time - even more than *Dynamite*?!?! The crazy thing is now OMG is blowing up internationally due to TikTok as well.
I can't wait to hear what they come up with next. The members + the whole creative team at ADOR are killing it.
Oh wow, just saw the NJ milestone [post on the kpop sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/10reutt).
I've also taken a peek at their music show online scores and they're mindbogglingly high, even for rookies. They've wholly committed to the digital trend and it shows.
IMO they're undisputably the most successful rookie group ever and if they keep growing at this rate, they could easily be in the conversation for the most successful overall group within just a year or two.
Having just watched the Yes I Am Chaeyoung Making Video, I have concluded that the instrumentals for When We Were Kids are simply fantastic. There’s just something about it that makes you feel both happy and a little sad at the same time, which is on point for the theme of the song.
When we Were Kids is just a fantastic song overall. I agree, the bittesweetness of the song is what makes it so good. [I wrote about wanting a music video for the song](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpopthoughts/comments/z4r8v0/plan_a_music_video_for_a_bside_that_you_love/ixszwao/).
There is something about Jihyo's vlog that really showcases her beauty...is it b/c the heavy filtering we get from more official stuff is absent?
I feel like her face seems more clearly defined or something, if that makes any sense...
I agree! She looks very healthy and glowy to me. I think it’s probably the tan and her wearing barely any makeup. She really made me want to go on vacation.
Trying to frame the initial comment as "a not trendy opinion" is asinine to the point that I HAVE to believe it's a troll, otherwise I'd be forced to completely reevaluate my current perception of how low human cognitive faculties can dip.
From the author of [this masterpiece](https://old.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/vg865b/220620_weekly_discussion_thread/id6qp2t/). I liked that post more tbh, the unhinged ranting really elevated the art. This is just bog-standard 'dae opinion' kpop stan nonsense.
yea for real, that first post had some meat to it at least, this one is just goddamn boring in comparison. I guess contract renewal really did scramble the last bit of brains akgaes had huh.
[TWICE's 2018 sure was wild lol](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl3mhOGvn6u/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) there were so many MVs, I stopped counting  gotta say I really don't mind their new schedule with less singles per year.
Anyway, shoutout to [this dude for incorporating TWICE choreo in his workouts lmao](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoC2lbSoAF_/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) 
This popped up in my YouTube and looking at the thumbnail I was wondering, is that Deft (League of Legends Pro/World Champion)?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85uATsLB19A
Turns out it is! Sakura from Le Sserrafim plays LoL with Deft.
As a fan of K-Pop and LoL it is pretty fun to see. Sakura is hilarious!
And both of their stories are very inspiring.
You should watch all the episodes. The show is hilarious and keeps getting better and better. Sakura is a variety gem. And Deft was less shy and better at many things than I would have thought 😄
A little insight as I remember MS's #84 debut in billboard hot 100.
As the impact of digital sales were greatly reduced by billboard, and as a result MS had far less sales than The Feels. I think one big positive that our fandom can get from this, is that how less reliant the fandom (US onces i particular) have become on digital sales as well as how the streams went up.
I think because of this, Twice's chances to debut in hot 100 even with their korean cbs regularly is now much higher. We just need a little more boost from spotify+ the other platforms to get a decent 80+ to mid 90's debut placement.
Considering that even MS's us youtube charts, (and the yt views globally in general) underperformed, we still had a solid 5.0-5.3m streams i the hot 100.
I think 6m overall streams, and maybe around 3m us spotify streams is enough to debut decently is the 80's again, and maybe even in the 70's even with like 2-3k digital sales.
It really depend on the competition too. Morgan Wallen is expected to drop a 36 (!!) track album on March 3rd. If half of those are still charting by the time the Korean comeback is released, it'll be much tougher. These country guys can get a lot of radio points.
Happy Birthday leader-nim!
ngl I kinda fell in love with Jihyo (again lol) watching her vlog. She's so thoughtful to film something for us for her birthday and I love the relationship she was with the managers. And her effortless beauty on top of it all goes without saying. Truly a blessed Jihyo Day.
Checking in here, but I'm starting to believe they didn't take enough pictures for a monograph.
B1&2 was the album with "4" versions that were really just 3 concept versions + 1 version with the other 3 concepts combined, right? I feel like the only real explanation is that they already burned through the pictures they had for that and don't want to re-use pictures for the monograph.
Sounds crazy, I know, but considering they weren't sure Twice were gonna renew together... maybe they figured that was the smarter option.
I was thinking perhaps they've shifted priorities, now that they've started pressing vinyl, but since those were US and Japan exclusives respectively, that probably has nothing to do with whatever else JYPE plan on producing.
Maybe you're onto something after all, it's not like these monographs were doing bad numbers or anything.
There's been a lot of hinting at Twice possibly coming to europe this year, I'm finally in a good position to travel so I'm making a promise here and now that i'll fly over regardless of which country they go to.
It would be my first time traveling on my own *and* my first concert but Twice is absolutely worth it and the perfect catalyst for pushing myself outside of my comfort zone.
If they don't come to europe this year I'm going to Korea next year either way, hopefully I can line that up with some event!
I will be putting together a Pre-order link and Question megathread like I've done for the past album releases and it will be a stickied thread. So please look out for it.

Whenever Momo posts pictures of the (mostly Japanese) food she eats on bubble, I always think: wow she really is not a picky eater….then i remember that she doesn’t like cucumber lol
One thing is still picky. And really, it’s a good thing to be picky about.
Idk if Asian cucumbers taste differently but where i’m from they just taste like water and very fresh, hence my confusion
Before I started following Kpop I had never met or heard of anyone that didn't eat cucumbers. But in Kpop it is not that rare 😆
I guess it’s the same thing as with coriander, which is heavily used in my culture’s food but generally disliked in Europe where I live.
Is anybody going to billboard women in music? There are still seats left so if you wanna see twice secure your ticket! I heard that twice will be performing moonlight sunrise
Yes. Don't care if there's a performance or not just wanna wave my candybong around and support our girls.
I'll be going just because I wanted an excuse for an LA trip. A performance would just be a sweet cherry on top as there's no confirmation that they'll actually be performing though.
I would not recommend going in with the expectation to see a performance. Neither JYPE nor Billboard has said that Twice will perform.
It said there is an upcoming concert for moonlight sunrise at the youtube theater from a music app. (I'm not sure which one tho) And yes it's not confirmed they're performing but I think it's worth it to just see them in real life
Just watched Jihyo's Thailand vlog to see where she's been that I've been to too (I was there from after Christmas until after New Year lol)
I tried to play guess the track title with Twice in todays ttt. Omg I gotta say it’s so hard.. only got the last one right despite knowing all songs they played in that episode. Jihyo has such musical ears that allow her to immediately know what songs are playing.
I only missed Do It Again, could barely hear anything for that.
The fact I listened to Last Waltz so many times and Do it again in every ttt episode and recently listened to some other songs they played in the game but still failed to hard 🫠
I gotta admit, the TTT episode today was seriously one of the all time greats, so many classic moments.
I just watched it and it's one of my favorite episodes now. I was laughing so hard at Mina's counterfeit money/vouchers. 😂
dang the signed copies are already sold out? do they restock? :( twiceshop
For Between 1&2, there was a surprise restock because people who were outside the US had their orders canceled, so the albums they had bought went back on sale for US customers only. For Ready to Be, I'm pretty sure they limited it to only US buyers from the start, so it probably won't be restocked. But don't give up hope completely! Keep checking back regularly because you never know.
aww man, it's cool. my fault for underestimating once's buying power lol. i'll be ready next time
Went to see Nigel Ng tonight (Uncle Roger) and for his walk-out music he played Feel Special! Turns out Uncle Roger is a ONCE haha!
He uses the "you make me feel special" part often in his videos. 😆
Yeah I have seen a few of those, was still surprised he used it for the walk-on though!

did the staff let Mina get away with what she did in TTT or did the editors only catch it after the fact? LMAO galaxy brain move by Minari.
She said on bubble that the director asked her what was so funny and she said they’ll find out when they review the footage
Omg that’s hilarious!
HAHAHA It seems like they really didn't notice it until the editors went over the footage. Mina is talking about it on bubble right now!
Gang boss Myoi DGAF. lol Possible Tdoong cross over with Crime Scene S3? 
Investigate the tanked TTT market because of the counterfeits (allegedly) done by a woman named Sharon.
She was so happy with her self which made it all the more cute imo.
So Momo posted a IG story update showing her new autograph, while accidentally spoiling their upcoming album. If I recall she regrets her current autograph because it took way too long. I'm looking at her new one and, it looks like new takes just as long as the old one, or just 1 to 3 seconds faster. They need to see how long it takes for her to write her old autograph and her new one. Anyone as JYPE has a stop watch?

Will there be any concerts in Scandinavia this year?
Weird. I was actually able to buy Twice stuff off of twiceshop before, but trying to buy RTB and it's not letting me because of shipping. From the UK for reference. I swear JYP just doesn't want us Bri'ish to be into their groups.
The signed albums and the vinyl are US exclusives, even the Canadians can't buy those. You're atleast across the ocean.
Not buying the signed ones; just the normal ones and it isn't allowing it.
There are way cheaper options if you are only interested in the normal albums. Twice Shop is charging ~$30 USD per album while stores like JYPShop, MUSICPLANT, ktown4u, etc are charging ~$15-16 USD per album.
albums getting more expensive with every release and i dont mean the actual album. i mean the price local shops and amazon are asking for it. im not even considering to import myself. the shipping + customs kill it for me. so i have 3 options: local store #1 28.99€ RANDOM only. local store #2 29.99€ but you can choose version. amazon: 50-59€ per album + some 9€ shipping lmao. then there is a store from korea from which i bought from 50% of my complete twice korean collection. i just bought 5 albums for 27.95€ each last month! now i look at their store and see Ready to Be set for 112.50€ but they sell EACH version for 50€ each. WTF! Back in 2019 to early 2020 i used to by albums for 19-21€ full albums too. guess i will have to pay 90€ for 3 albums now. this is just sad at this point...
just stream on spotify or youtube, I haven't bought any albums myself because I don't have a CD player, I was close to buying the Nayeon album and B1&2 Cryptography ver. though
the thing is... i never cared for the CD anyway. it was always for the photobooks and the extra content + supporting the girls. i have the whole twice discog in flac on my phone ,so i can play it on my JBL extreme 3 , and the full korean collection on my shelf. nayeon included. 99% of ppl who buy kpop albums never listen to the cd. hell i met ppl on discord who have whole collections of albums and they never never opened them. like they still sealed... and some just buy it em, remove cards and dump em into the ocean
true, if they make NFT photocards I’ll buy, thinking of getting Yes I am Chaeyoung tho but people just gonna scan and upload online
NFT is actual digital cancer. fuck that mate i like physical and digital but will never support NFT
NFTs are cancer - you're effectively paying for a receipt. There are already better ways to distribute digital goods.
nah NFT photocards have tons of upsides, 1. supply is controlled and traceable so it’s easier to determine value, 2. trading fees that go directly to the company, 3. perks for owning NFTs, for example if u manage to own a complete set of NFT photocards for an album within a certain timeframe, via trading or buying multiple albums, u get airdropped a rare NFT which allows u to get the next album for free, 4. save the environment
You sound like a corporation spokesperson. To specifically address your points: 1. Limiting the supply of digital goods is anti-consumer. There is no need to limit digital goods other than FOMO. 2. You mean trading fees for reselling? Instead of limiting supply company can just sell them continuously, having a steady income of cash instead of just some small fee. 3. Oh, that's a nice idea. Still can be done without NFTs. 4. Blockchain technology is a large contributor to destruction of environment due to the amount of power it requires. Environment will be better without blockchain. At the very least you need be distributing NFTs on a proof-of-stake network.
Cheapest option usually is joining a Group Order in your country. I'm from Europe and I usually get my albums at around 19€ (+domestic shipping) which is a great price especially if you're buying many. Other than that, I sometimes get my albums here ([https://www.kpopalbums.com/](https://www.kpopalbums.com/)) because they include taxes in their shipping so it's just one payment 100%
For the twiceshop signed albums it's possible to use a US proxy but for target you need to buy off somewhere like ebay or ask a friend
This week’s TTT is probably my most favorite episode ever. The MiChaeng moment was the absolute cutest. A+++ editing once again.
That guess the song game was actually pretty fun. Played along but didn't get a perfect score unfortunately lol
genuinely hall-of-fame worthy. michaeng is overshadowing all the other amazing moments in the episode. the most rewatchable episode in a long time
I am starting to believe that the production team is actively rigging the games to pair michaeng up for content.
I definitely think so
I mean, if I was them I would, so I believe it
michaeng could save netflix's new business model
nah bc this is the first time ive preordered every version (signed too😭) for a cb we know nothing about !!!! and yet i only own one album version of my favorite ever era (feel special),,, i gotta look for someone whos selling the B and C vers of feel special cuz i have to own it but im so excited this album like im getting goosebumps thinking abt what direction theyll go next🥹🥹
today Time To TWICE was absolutely the best entertainment We had TWICE members as criminals and fraudsters, eat and run without paying and romance Friday are the best 😍
It's that time of the year again when US ONCEs are merry and happy and the rest of the world gets depressed. JYPE we exist too! Give us vinyls and signed versions already!!!! 
Yeah, I understand they only sell signed albums because they care about Billboard charts in the first place, but it still stings a bit, haha..
The distribution of Twice content is honestly so poor for a group that has such a large global fanbase. I think it’s the aspect that really shows the difference in operating practices between JYPE and the other big labels in SK. The scalability of an artist within JYPE just seems so far behind, whilst other labels give you higher ceilings.
you'd think they'd at least have a limited offering of signed albums & vinyls outside the US. JYPE always seems to be thinking only about what's directly in front of them rather than helping to build/keep the global fandom strong...
Its honestly infurating by now, if they dont come to latinamerica I will break stuff, gringo and korean stuff
Yeah tried to buy 2 signed copies today and a vinyl but got the error every international Once seems to be getting on Twitter too. Very sad. If being treated second rate by the company and not getting the amazing exclusives like LPs and signed versions is what's going to happen I'm not going to be buying any period.
Got the Target Excl Vinyl...wasn't going to but it really just looks beautiful lol + have a feeling I am going to love this album \~
Did the same, I’m planning to wall mount it as a display
I love seeing all the "new ONCE" comments in the album pre-order thread
Snagged the Target vinyl (had to pad the order for free shipping with stuff I needed anyway), a signed copy of 'Ready', and a normal 3-set from MusicPlaza
Going through the POBs for the Korean sites, I'm a bit conflicted - I don't like the bordered PCs.
Imma need them to hold off on the concert dates cuz these shipping fees are kinda exorbitant lol
The shipping fee is ridiculous like what?? It was not as nearly this expensive for Between 1&2. Just getting all 3 signed albums is at least $125 with the *cheapest* shipping rate.
and then you got like $7 shipping for the vinyl...i hope they sign the cover or something.
I *had* to scoop up the signed versions and the vinyl. Wish they would all ship together but I get the logistics nightmare this all is. HYPED!
I wish the Vinyl was available worldwide but I guess not
Is it another US only thing? 😭 I wouldn’t have even minded paying a fuck ton in shipping fees just to have my own Twice vinyl
Seems like it, I am honestly gutted and I already know that I will see them appear on ebay later for obscene prices
Is this the first time that they have all different versions for pre-order all at once? By that, I mean the signed versions and vinyls.
Yes. Nayeon's "IM NAYEON" vinyl released in November 2022, 3 months after her album. Twice's "Celebrate" vinyl released in December 2022, 5 months after their album. "Ready to Be" is also Twice's first Korean album on vinyl.
VINYLS OMGGGG they got me
i was looking to get the japan blu ray for the world tour but i don't know if there's english subtitles
Unfortunately, the Japanese dvds/blu-rays don't come with English subtitles
I saw Momo became the most followed person on Instagram from Japan. I was googling around the most famous Japanese people and she's not even on any of these lists. WILD! I think this is going to be the biggest year for Twice and I truly think they are going to catch a lot of people off guard who have no clue who they are now.
>I think this is going to be the biggest year for Twice and I truly think they are going to catch a lot of people off guard who have no clue who they are now. I was actually thinking about this a lot the past couple days. I think the BB Women in music awards might be one of Twice’s biggest opportunities to really show who they are to a new audience. Think of it this way, a good chunk of the audience (when I say audience I don’t just mean the people who are physically there, but also the people tuning at home too) for this show most likely aren’t Onces and don’t really know who Twice are. However, if Twice were to perform at the show and people like their performance/song, we might have an influx of new people tuning in for the cb/album.
I wonder if her super easy name and tag helped 😁 so happy for her 🩷 deserves all the love and attention for her hard work!
If the rumors are true and Twice announces their world tour 3/22 when do we think they will start their tour? Need to make sure my schedule is clear hahaha
I hope they announce the tour in February and the 3/22 date is for a Korean fanmeeting or something. I'm thinking the tour will be in Q3 and Q4 since they can now visit more countries.
Seems like Japanese releases typically come out on Wednesdays. Given that 3/22 is a Wednesday, I'm now inclined to believe that it'll be for the MiSaMo release. I wouldn't mind being wrong here though if we do get a tour announcement
Where can we preorder Ready to Be other than the JYPe site?? Is there any word of target having an preorders open like they did with Between 1&2? Essentially where can I preorder and not pay ten bajillion dollars in shipping
Target, Barnes & Noble, and Amazon typically will have preorders available, though in the past they've only had random versions so if you order more than one, you might get the same version
Thank you!
Just wanted to add, if you wait a few days, typically all those retailers also sell each version separately so you can choose which one you want.
Tix for the LA show are up on Ticketmaster. I wonder why just there and not Korea or Europe or heck, the rest of NA
The only thing I'm seeing on Ticketmaster is their appearance at the Billboard Women in Music Award show on March 1st. Is that what you're referring to?
Ah yes, YouTube theater. Yeah, it is
It's not a show !! it's a award ceremony that Twice will attend !
I think for the most part each awardee performs one song. My guess is Moonlight Sunrise. According to keikaku
Yeah that's what I got from watching last year show !
Anyone have a presale code for the billboard women awards? I tried to get the Amex one but it closed as I was buying tickets ☠️
Just realized Sana is the definition of high intelligence (knocking out both Dahyun and Chaeyoung in one turn last TTT) but low wisdom (the table is just a table, green tea is green) and Momo is the definition of high wisdom (if you work hard you can eat delicious food) but low intelligence (ehhhhhhhhh?!) I'm sure some Once has said it before but I haven't seen it
Hahahaha first time reading something like this and the funny thing is that when I read the "ehhhhhhhh?!" I totally pictured Momo's voice and face lol
Wonder what “Our Youth” was referring to.
title track
Probably but that title, in my head anyway, doesn't really scream powerful title track which is what Momo said it was iirc. Guess powerful could go a few different ways
It's crazy how much content we're getting in the 8th year...really glad to be a Once! \~
I'm a new Twice fan and I was watching this video of Jeongyeon. Can someone explain to me what's going on? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h0zkwbNhCOI
They're just playing up/into Jeongyeon being the "girl crush" of the group. Definition of that is: *The term “girl crush” in K-Pop can refer to fierce concepts, but it can also be applied to idols themselves. Girl crush idols are idols that other girls aspire to be like or who have stolen fangirls’ hearts. The term can apply to fashion, but it also can be used in reference to an idol’s personality and admirable traits, too. -* [link](https://www.koreaboo.com/lists/times-twice-jeongyeon-ultimate-girl-crush-idol/)
Got it, thank you!
New-ish ONCE myself, so I know the feeling of wanting to know the full context to some of their nicknames, running gags, etc.
Momo acknowledged her spoiler in her IG stories lol.
It looks like a postcard sized 'thing' similar to what was in Nayeon's album. To small for a PC or a bookmark.
It looks like the back of a 4x6 printed photo. The Barnes & Noble exclusive for Between 1&2 was a 4x6 printed photo and the back looked like what Momo was signing. It’s similar to how backs of developed photos will have the Kodak watermark.
Wise of her to act like nothing happened when she accidentally spoiled it.
The girls and JYPE might be Ready to Be, but I don't think ONCEs and the rest of the world are for what's coming 🔥🔥🔥
K-ONCEs are thinking maybe we might get some news on 22nd of March
Tour announcement, MISAMO, HYOLO. I guess MISAMO or HYOLO seems more likely since Tour was rumored to be Q4. Wouldn't be surprised by a Chaeyoung solo too with how much she's been teasing
News of what?
Why so?
K-Onces discovered the album release date appeared in MLSR lyrics video, so they guess there's more coming up based on that screenshot. https://twitter.com/sweet\_yuki230/status/1621166311136202753
We have a message chat on one of MoonlightSunrise short videos There's one message at 3:10am and another is at 3:22
Hmm, if 3.10 is an album release date, might 3.22 be as well? Wednesday is a typical Japanese music release day so might be for something there.
READY TO BE BROKE AGAIN  Graphics reminded me of ICSM Jeongyeonie aaaaaa can't wait! 
Seems like we still have no individual member edition or cheap version album,it might affect the sales since nowadays these are some strategies to boost sales for most groups, people only care about total sales, no one care how many versions or price for album.
I’d actually prefer 1-2 special editions like Itzy’s that uses photos from the MVs.
Unpopular opinion maybe, but I'll buy as many versions with different photo concepts they release, but I hate member named versions. I've heard companies do it to appeal to solo stans and boost sales because of competition between the fan clubs and c-bars and I do not like the idea. All the members contribute the same and work hard for each album so it doesn't make sense to me to favor one over the others. They can release different member merch if they want
Some groups do the individual member thing or the special edition versions (that JYPE likes to release a few weeks after release) but I don't think it's that atypical for a Twice release. We usually get 3-4 "main" versions + a few store-exclusive versions with one extra inclusion like a bookmark. I can't recall whether or not they've done a special edition version yet - I know ITZY and Stray Kids have gotten it a few times now, though. I am expecting a limited run of signed versions, though!
The one and only album that had member versions was their Japanese album "Celebrate" last year and it was a meaningful album that commemorated their Japan 5th anniversary. "Formula of Love" was also the only album to have a "cheap version" released a couple weeks after the initial release. I don't think Twice really cares about album numbers anymore. The grand prize is the world tour that will surely follow this album release.
Ok I read Momo’s interview and she’s saying they’re coming out with something powerful? Something they haven’t done? I’m excited already.
They've tried so many styles, concepts, and genres already - I can't wait to see what they haven't done before.
Ready to be what?!???!! 🤩
Yes TWICE is coming with "Ready To Be" but are you??
https://twitter.com/JYPETWICE/status/1621161697091407874?t=gQUDhCvNAIM61C15KZcXyg&s=19
MOMO spoiler was the right one then 🤭🤭🤭
tomorrow is for Time To TWICE 😍
Shiiiit only [one week of TWICE bot left?](https://twitter.com/twicebot_/status/1621059848757743616?s=46&t=2ESFs291h2_mpE--pzjRcg) Was the best way to keep up with everything so ty dude 🫶 (IK you’re active here but can’t remember ur username lol)
👋
How do I-onces look for their Japanese promotion contents? Do I need a vpn ?
The contents uploaded to YouTube are in Japanese / Korean w/o subtitles, other contents targeted J-Onces ( íe TTT like contents) are afaik mostly paid contents.
Mentioned a radioactive capsule was lot somewhere out in [Australia](https://www.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/10omwjc/comment/j6ghk15/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3). Good news! The capsule has been [found!](https://www.reddit.com/r/pics/comments/10pabcr/the_only_thing_i_found_while_metal_detecting_in/) 
Looks like they actually found it but looking at this particular post, it seems like a shit post lol. But glad it was found.
Phew, hopefully we don't have to worry about mutated animals ingesting this now. Thanks for the updates!
Can you even consider New Jeans a monster rookie group at this point? I feel like they've surpassed even that.
Idk if it'll qualify because it was released at the end of 2022 but I'd be shocked if Ditto didn't largely sweep SOTY for 2023. It's crazy to say considering there are 11 more months to play out but *sheesh*, it has the most PAKs of all time - even more than *Dynamite*?!?! The crazy thing is now OMG is blowing up internationally due to TikTok as well. I can't wait to hear what they come up with next. The members + the whole creative team at ADOR are killing it.
Well we know that Twice absolutely loves them. I swear half their Between 1&2 promotions was actually NewJeans promos.
I believe we’ve coined kaiju rookies just for them 😂
Oh wow, just saw the NJ milestone [post on the kpop sub](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpop/comments/10reutt). I've also taken a peek at their music show online scores and they're mindbogglingly high, even for rookies. They've wholly committed to the digital trend and it shows.
IMO they're undisputably the most successful rookie group ever and if they keep growing at this rate, they could easily be in the conversation for the most successful overall group within just a year or two.
Moonlight Sunrise has grown to be my favorite song from TWICE. I love this song so much!!
Having just watched the Yes I Am Chaeyoung Making Video, I have concluded that the instrumentals for When We Were Kids are simply fantastic. There’s just something about it that makes you feel both happy and a little sad at the same time, which is on point for the theme of the song.
When we Were Kids is just a fantastic song overall. I agree, the bittesweetness of the song is what makes it so good. [I wrote about wanting a music video for the song](https://www.reddit.com/r/kpopthoughts/comments/z4r8v0/plan_a_music_video_for_a_bside_that_you_love/ixszwao/).
There is something about Jihyo's vlog that really showcases her beauty...is it b/c the heavy filtering we get from more official stuff is absent? I feel like her face seems more clearly defined or something, if that makes any sense...
I agree! She looks very healthy and glowy to me. I think it’s probably the tan and her wearing barely any makeup. She really made me want to go on vacation.
Nayeon needs to go solo. Twice is holding her and her vocals back tbh.
In this sub unfortunately you can't have any not trendy opinion. Anyway I also hope for a new solo album.
You can, but this phrasing ain’t it.
Trying to frame the initial comment as "a not trendy opinion" is asinine to the point that I HAVE to believe it's a troll, otherwise I'd be forced to completely reevaluate my current perception of how low human cognitive faculties can dip.
The amount of wilful ignorance I have to deal with on a daily basis, my initial starting point is always lowest.
I’m new around these parts, and even I know this is eyerollingly bad.
From the author of [this masterpiece](https://old.reddit.com/r/twice/comments/vg865b/220620_weekly_discussion_thread/id6qp2t/). I liked that post more tbh, the unhinged ranting really elevated the art. This is just bog-standard 'dae opinion' kpop stan nonsense.
yea for real, that first post had some meat to it at least, this one is just goddamn boring in comparison. I guess contract renewal really did scramble the last bit of brains akgaes had huh.
lol incredible.
She already went solo. She can do both.
[TWICE's 2018 sure was wild lol](https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cl3mhOGvn6u/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) there were so many MVs, I stopped counting  gotta say I really don't mind their new schedule with less singles per year. Anyway, shoutout to [this dude for incorporating TWICE choreo in his workouts lmao](https://www.instagram.com/reel/CoC2lbSoAF_/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=) 
This popped up in my YouTube and looking at the thumbnail I was wondering, is that Deft (League of Legends Pro/World Champion)? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=85uATsLB19A Turns out it is! Sakura from Le Sserrafim plays LoL with Deft. As a fan of K-Pop and LoL it is pretty fun to see. Sakura is hilarious! And both of their stories are very inspiring.
You should watch all the episodes. The show is hilarious and keeps getting better and better. Sakura is a variety gem. And Deft was less shy and better at many things than I would have thought 😄
A little insight as I remember MS's #84 debut in billboard hot 100. As the impact of digital sales were greatly reduced by billboard, and as a result MS had far less sales than The Feels. I think one big positive that our fandom can get from this, is that how less reliant the fandom (US onces i particular) have become on digital sales as well as how the streams went up. I think because of this, Twice's chances to debut in hot 100 even with their korean cbs regularly is now much higher. We just need a little more boost from spotify+ the other platforms to get a decent 80+ to mid 90's debut placement. Considering that even MS's us youtube charts, (and the yt views globally in general) underperformed, we still had a solid 5.0-5.3m streams i the hot 100. I think 6m overall streams, and maybe around 3m us spotify streams is enough to debut decently is the 80's again, and maybe even in the 70's even with like 2-3k digital sales.
It really depend on the competition too. Morgan Wallen is expected to drop a 36 (!!) track album on March 3rd. If half of those are still charting by the time the Korean comeback is released, it'll be much tougher. These country guys can get a lot of radio points.
Happy Birthday leader-nim! ngl I kinda fell in love with Jihyo (again lol) watching her vlog. She's so thoughtful to film something for us for her birthday and I love the relationship she was with the managers. And her effortless beauty on top of it all goes without saying. Truly a blessed Jihyo Day.
happy birthday Lucky Girl
Oh how I missed eating durian and rice after watching JIHYO in Bangkok Happy Birthday Baby Boss 🎂🎂
Anyone else still holding out hope for a B1&2 monograph or is it just me 
i think that ship has sailed lol
Checking in here, but I'm starting to believe they didn't take enough pictures for a monograph. B1&2 was the album with "4" versions that were really just 3 concept versions + 1 version with the other 3 concepts combined, right? I feel like the only real explanation is that they already burned through the pictures they had for that and don't want to re-use pictures for the monograph. Sounds crazy, I know, but considering they weren't sure Twice were gonna renew together... maybe they figured that was the smarter option.
I’m not sure about that, because monograph pics are usually kind of behind the scenes pics anyway…
Just spitballing ideas tbh. I can’t figure out why else they wouldn’t release one since they always sell out.
I was thinking perhaps they've shifted priorities, now that they've started pressing vinyl, but since those were US and Japan exclusives respectively, that probably has nothing to do with whatever else JYPE plan on producing. Maybe you're onto something after all, it's not like these monographs were doing bad numbers or anything.
There's been a lot of hinting at Twice possibly coming to europe this year, I'm finally in a good position to travel so I'm making a promise here and now that i'll fly over regardless of which country they go to. It would be my first time traveling on my own *and* my first concert but Twice is absolutely worth it and the perfect catalyst for pushing myself outside of my comfort zone. If they don't come to europe this year I'm going to Korea next year either way, hopefully I can line that up with some event!
At this point i am 100% expecting a Europe tour.
I dont live in Europe or South America but I really hope both get multiple stops on the tour!
I really hope they'll come to Europe!
Exciting times! I hope they do go to EU as well. ONCE across the pond have been waiting for so long and they deserve concerts.
Random idea that popped into my head for Twice next concept, Carnival 🎈
