Twice on Their Debut U.S. Performance, 'New Generation' of Girl Groups: KCON 2016 Interview

In a remarkably quick amount of time, Twice has secured itself as one of the most talked-about and watched girl groups in K-pop despite less than a year on the scene. The nine-member act has scored more than 81 million views of the debut music video for "Like Ooh Ahh"—the most for any K-pop group's first visual on YouTube to date—nearly 68 million for follow-up smash "Cheer Up," plus landed loads of lucrative endorsement deals and attention in Korea. It very well makes sense that Twice's very-first U.S. performance would be at the famed Staples Center as part of KCON 2016 Los Angeles. 

Backstage at the arena, the ladies all looked like superstars in chic black-and-white dresses, though their rookie status was given away as they nervously looked to a manager for help with questions. Nevertheless, the members' individual charms all shined through, like how the curious Momo constantly peered over Jungyeon's shoulder during the interview or how the charismatic was Dahyun smiled to herself during the entire chat. Plus, Sana was adorably running a bit later than her members and ran past the door to the interview only to quickly realize her mistake and pivot mid-run—not easy in heels, mind you. Elsewhere, the likes of Chaeyoung and Tzuyu gave bright smiles the entire time.
