Twice Talk Success So Far, Songwriting & Being a Multinational Group at KCON
While America tends to prefer its girl groups with a heavy dose of spicy sass—see Destiny's Child, the Pussycat Dolls, Fifth Harmony—the sugary sweet ladies of Twice are making a major case for the good girls next door to take over next.
At KCON 2017 New York presented by Toyota, the nine-member troupe garnered one of the biggest responses of the night. Young girls and mature guys all showed their excitement to see Twice, rivaling the excitement they generate in Asia after they've seen their last four singles go to No. 1 in Korea and and earned some of the biggest K-pop album sales in Japan in years. "We never expected this kind of popularity," Twice leader Jihyo tells Fuse backstage at KCON before they took the stage at the massive Prudential Center. "Especially because we're a multicultural group, we initially had our worries. But despite all those worries the fans really received us with overwhelming support and love so we've been really happy with how we've been able to perform."
