Two days after our September issue cover shoot with TWICE’s Sana, news breaks that the super group has surpassed seven billion cumulative streams on Spotify in just 1,971 days — making them the K-pop girl group to achieve this feat in the shortest span of time. Eight years into Sana’s and her bandmates’ careers, the iconic act is far from resting on their laurels. In March, TWICE released their 12th EP, Ready to Be, which soared to the top of the South Korean albums chart and even launched at number two on the US Billboard 200. Just four months later, Sana — alongside bandmates Momo and Mina — officially got her debut in MISAMO, TWICE’s first-ever sub-unit. To the delight of fans, their Japanese mini-album Masterpiece debuted at the pole position on Japan’s Oricon Albums Chart. And now is truly the time that TWICE fanatics have been waiting patiently for. This month, Sana and the rest of TWICE arrive in Singapore after four long years for their READY TO BE concert dates.
The most recent TWICE EP, Ready to Be, had incredible success when it was released earlier this year. It reached number one on South Korea’s Circle Album Chart and also did exceptionally well on the Billboard 200. Congratulations. Do you remember how you and the girls reacted to this success?
In the eight years that has been our journey as TWICE, I’m so honoured to be a part of so many different activities where I have received so much love and support from fans. I was surprised, thankful, and consequently, I felt so empowered and appreciated, allowing me to engage in and show even more diverse activities.
