Ten Years In, TWICE Shows No Sign of Slowing Down

When it comes to crafting an unforgettable K-pop concert experience that balances pure joy, polished performances, and heartfelt connection, TWICE has long been in a league of their own. For their highly anticipated Hong Kong concert, presented by Live Nation, the group didn’t just meet fan expectations — they smashed them. TWICE transformed the venue into a sea of candy-colored light and deafening cheers, creating shared moments that felt like a warm hug between the idols and their ONCEs. The TWICE THIS IS FOR World Tour kicked off at Kai Tak Stadium, Hong Kong on December 6 and 7.

An atmosphere filled the venue early on, defined by a sea of TWICE’s signature and official lightsticks, Candy Bongs, and the unified sounds of the fandom calling out to the girl group. As the opening video rolled, the crowd’s cheer reached a crescendo that didn’t let up for the entire set.When the screens came to life and TWICE emerged on stage in sparkling, white feather-decorated outfits, the stadium lit up like a constellation, Candy Bongs creating an ocean of pink and blue that mirrored the group’s vibrant energy.

The setlist was a love letter to both long-time fans and new listeners, spanning hits from their early years to their latest releases. The show started with the tour’s title track “THIS IS FOR”, as Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, and Tzuyu bounded across the stage. Their choreography was sharp yet full of the playful flair that defines TWICE. The sheer joy radiating from the stage was palpable, turning the cavernous stadium into a massive party that felt both grand in scale and deeply personal.

From the disco-funk-infused “Set Me Free” to the dreamy “Moonlight Sunrise”, each song was a showcase of the group’s versatility. TWICE nailed the dynamic beats of “Fancy” with fierce confidence, but it was their unwavering connection with the audience that made the Hong Kong stop truly stand out. Between songs, the members took turns greeting the audience in Cantonese, their sweet pronunciation earning cheers every time. “Hong Kong ONCEs, I miss you so much!” Dahyun said in Cantonese. “I love you!” Tzuyu added with a bashful grin, proving that her charm transcends language barriers. The sincerity in their voices as they navigated the local language turned the stadium into a unified space, dissolving the distance between the stage and the stands.

The concert’s mid-section was a highlight of solos that let each member’s unique charm shine. Mina and Momo delivered a sleek dance performance that showcased their incredible stage presence, while Dahyun brought her quirky charm to a fun, upbeat track. Nayeon, Jeongyeon, and Jihyo also stunned with their solos. The audience was immediately captivated, singing along to every word as the group seamlessly transitioned from the fresh sounds of the new album into a high-energy medley of their iconic anthems. The energy then shifted for the tender vocals of “What is Love?” and “Yes or Yes”. These fan favorites brought the house down with their iconic choreography, filled with the familiar hand gestures that every ONCE instinctively followed, taking the crowd and stage into the same rhythm.

As the show neared its end, the energy showed no sign of fading. TWICE closed out the main set with the explosive “Feel Special”, a song that had the entire venue jumping in unison and Candy Bongs waving. When the group bowed and exited the stage, the crowd refused to leave, chanting for an encore as their voices echoed through the venue. The crowd’s reaction was nothing short of euphoric. Gasps turned to screams as TWICE re-emerged on stage, this time in casual, cozy outfits.Upon their return, a fan-made tribute video played, showcasing the girl group’s journey from debut to global stardom. The chants grew louder and louder, reaching its peak when the familiar and melancholic melody of “TT”, the 2016 hit that sent TWICE to international fame, kicked off their encore. After “TT” ended, the members took one final bow, blowing kisses and waving to the audience. As the lights came up and the crowd slowly filed out, the air was filled with a warm, lingering joy, a testament to TWICE’s ability to turn a concert into something more, a gathering of family, united by music and love.

For Hong Kong ONCEs, the TWICE concert wasn’t just a show, it was a memory to cherish. From the explosive opening to the surprise encore of “TT”, every moment was a reminder of why TWICE has remained a staple in K-pop for nearly a decade. As the Candy Bongs faded into the night, one thing was clear, TWICE and Hong Kong have a special relationship, and this concert was just another chapter in their love story.
