TWICE once again proved why they remain K-pop royalty. On the grand stage of Lollapalooza Chicago 2025, the group delivered a surprise live performance of their new track “Takedown” — the main theme from the animated film KPop Demon Hunters.
TWICE‘s Chaeyoung, Jihyo, and Jeongyeon gives voice to the fierce determination of the film’s main characters, Rumi, Mira, and Zoey.
The performance wasn’t part of the official teaser set. But the trio stunned the crowd by bringing the fiery energy of KPop Demon Hunters to life. “Takedown” is an intense, rock-infused anthem fitting of the action-heavy film, and TWICE didn’t hold back vocally.
Clips from the performance quickly went viral across social media platforms and Korean forums like theqoo, with fans praising the members’ raw live vocal strength and stage command.
- Jihyo destroyed Gwima.
- They’re so good at singing live. God TWICE.
- It’s so good because Jihyo’s so powerful.
- They’re the original thing.
The performance not only highlighted their vocal ability but also showcased TWICE’s dedication to pushing boundaries. It’s a rare feat for K-pop groups to bring a song from an animated feature to a live global music festival — but TWICE made it feel natural, powerful, and unforgettable.
ONCEs and new fans alike were captivated. The synergy between their voices and the intense instrumentals gave “Takedown” a whole new level of impact on stage.
With KPop Demon Hunters gaining global buzz, TWICE’s performance only adds to the anticipation. If “Takedown” is any indication of what’s to come, the film — and its soundtrack — are bound to be massive.
