On the 21st, at midnight, TWICE shared an image on their official social media channels announcing the release of their 14th mini album 'STRATEGY' on December 6. This new album marks their first full group release in approximately 10 months since their 13th mini album 'With YOU-th' was unveiled in February. Fans worldwide are eagerly anticipating this special gift from TWICE, which will serve as a grand finale to their year.
Throughout this year, TWICE has reaffirmed their status as a 'global top-tier girl group' in various ways. Their full group album 'With YOU-th' achieved their first-ever number one spot on the US Billboard 200 chart, dated March 9, local time.
As part of their fifth world tour 'READY TO BE', TWICE performed at major stadiums in Mexico City, São Paulo, and Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas, as well as at the Yanmar Stadium Nagai in Osaka, Japan. In July, they made history as the first overseas female artists to perform at the Kanagawa Nissan Stadium. On October 20, they celebrated their 9th debut anniversary with a solo fan meeting '2024 TWICE FANMEETING [HOME 9ROUND]' at the Olympic Hall in Seoul's Songpa District, creating cherished memories with their fandom, ONCE.
Having opened 2024 with 'With YOU-th', TWICE is set to illuminate the end of the year with 'STRATEGY' in December. All eyes are on TWICE as they prepare to dazzle this winter with their full group comeback.
