On Pann, Korean netizens congratulated TWICE and left positive comments. In 2019, the group’s North American tour TWICELIGHTS took place only for 3 nights, but now the scale has more than doubled. The JYP girl group’s outstanding record of selling concert tickets now amazes netizens. So far, TWICE is said to be the best in the Japanese market.  However, the girls now prove that their popularity in America is skyrocketing.

There were also comments mentioning BLACKPINK after TWICE sold out all 7 concert nights of their US tour.  Has TWICE caught up with the YG girls in terms of popularity in the US market?

BLACKPINK’s North American tour IN YOUR AREA, which took place in 2019, drew almost 64,000 fans to six shows. TWICE will most likely beat BLACKPINK in terms of overall attendance and concert income due to the scope of this tour. However, there have been comments that BLACKPINK’s popularity in the United States is still much higher than TWICE’s.

Some comments:

  • TWICE is so popular overseas.  The group will probably sign another contract.
  • So in the US, is TWICE on the same level as BLACKPINK?
  • TWICE is much more popular than when they held a tour in the US in 2019, but still not on par with BLACKPINK.
  • Congratulations on selling out tickets for 7 concert nights.
  • Each show will have about 12,000 – 10,000 spectators.  TWICE is awesome.
  • No need to compare with anyone, just compare with TWICE’s previous tour.  It’s clear that the group is becoming more and more popular in the international market.
