TWICE‘s 1st World Tour TWICELAND: The Opening came to an end in June’s encore concerts, but the experience will forever live on in the heart of ONCEs who attended the shows.
Through the beautiful stage set up and girls’ breathtaking performances, TWICELAND was definitely every ONCE’s dream and definitely the happiest place on earth.
Here are just a few reasons why TWICELAND was literally the best place to be:
1. Things Got Intimate Even Before The Concert Began
Before the concerts started, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Dahyun participated at the merchandise booth and directly sold goods to fans! Some lucky ONCEs were able to interact directly with the members and receive signed goods!
