TWICE officially announced the THIS IS FOR World Tour on Sunday, confirming a Seoul stop and setting off a wave of excitement across the global ONCE fanbase.
The reveal came through the group’s official @twicetagram Instagram account. The caption featured two short lines: “This is for ONCE🍭 / This is for TWICE🩷” and a chain of hashtags confirming both the full tour name and a Seoul leg.
The dual dedication is the detail that has everyone talking. “This is for ONCE” and “This is for TWICE” in the same announcement is a deliberate choice. It suggests the group sees this tour as something personal – not just another promo cycle, but a genuine statement. That kind of framing carries weight. TWICE turned eleven this year, and sustained momentum at that level in K-pop is genuinely rare.
TWICE formed in 2015 under JYP Entertainment through a survival competition called “Sixteen.” The nine-member lineup is Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. They’ve grown into one of K-pop’s most globally recognized acts. The name “ONCE” for their fanbase comes from the group’s debut-era message: love them once, and they’ll love back twice. It’s one of those fandom names with a real story behind it.
They’ve toured extensively. Previous world tours hit stages across North America, Asia, and Europe. Australia has been part of past itineraries too. They’ve headlined arenas consistently and built a reputation for high-production shows. A TWICE world tour isn’t just a date announcement. It’s an event.
The Seoul leg carries particular significance. It’s home for the group. Korean ONCE have been there from the very beginning – the “Sixteen” days, the debut, all of it. A Seoul date is always one of the most emotionally charged stops in any TWICE tour cycle. The hashtag #TWICE_THISISFOR_WORLD_TOUR_IN_SEOUL confirms it’s on the schedule.
Full details – specific dates, additional cities, ticketing windows – haven’t been released yet. More announcements are expected soon.
For a reveal with no logistical details attached, the 352,000-like response says a lot. ONCE lit up across platforms within hours. Any TWICE world tour announcement draws global attention. This one has an extra layer, though. The name THIS IS FOR and the caption’s personal dedication give this announcement a different feel than a standard tour reveal. It’s a group telling their fans – and themselves – that this one counts.
“This is for ONCE. This is for TWICE.” The road ahead is theirs.
