I had to say this because I have seen newer fans reduce Twice to just KPDH hype group in US, They somehow think Twice was a Nugu group or something. I just get mad somehow seeing newer fans reduce their impact and popularity.
Kpop fans always doubted their US push, early on saying they have cute concept they will never sell in US. None of members can speak english, They don’t have appeal and what not. Twice has always overcome everything by hardwork.
Yes, I am not denying that KPDH didn’t help them get new fans but they have worked over the years to build NA fandom. They were the first ones to sold out MetLife and Sofi, They are still more sold Kpop GG in US in pure album sales.
See below is their Tour Attendance only for NA shows excluding Mexico as it’s for some reason get counted as LATAM. (Even in Mexico and Brazil they hold the Stadium shows.)
Twicelights World Tour (2019) – 28-29K attendance
III World Tour(2021) – 134 K attendance
Ready to be World ( 2023) – 300K attendance
And Now, This is For tour (2025) – 550K attendance.
When their TIF tour was announced they originally had 23 shows with capacity of 350K to thinking similar demand as Their previous tour. They sold more than 250K+ tickets in first 24 hours and 300K in few 2-3 days. Reaching milestone of their previous tour. Seeing this they added 12 more shows and 380-400K tickets were sold even before then dropping their ticket prices. So their 75-80% tour was sold even before any price drops.
Not to mention their last year’s Lollapalooza headlines where tickets for sold out in less than a hour.
Twice fandom (Once) is there and always been there, it’s just I think we are not loud enough anymore that newer fans think our ult group is some Nugu in US.
