TWICE has set a new standard for concert experiences with their overwhelming performances on their sixth world tour, offering fans an immersive and innovative live show.

On July 19 and 20, TWICE hosted the opening concerts of their "THIS IS FOR" world tour at Incheon Inspire Arena. Both days sold out every available seat, including additional spots that were opened due to high demand. The July 20 show was also streamed to a global audience via Beyond LIVE, allowing international fans to join in the excitement.

This world tour adopted a unique concept by opening up all seats in each venue, creating a 360-degree stage experience that transformed the entire arena into a performance space. The Incheon concerts featured multi-directional stages, bridges, and a dramatic flying catwalk that spanned above the audience. With the use of lifts and dynamic choreography, TWICE members interacted closely with fans on all sides, ensuring an unforgettable proximity.

Beyond captivating performances, TWICE elevated the sensory impact with dramatic special effects, cube-shaped LED screens, and striking lighting design. Giant displays, a live band session, and three-dimensional staging combined to deliver a multisensory event where fans could see, hear, and feel the energy of the show.

The tour kicked off with a live debut of the group’s latest single "THIS IS FOR." The setlist also included "Strategy," the title track from their 14th mini album and a song featured on the soundtrack for the hit Netflix animated film "K-pop Demon Hunters." The crowd—many dressed in themed costumes—added to the festival atmosphere with passionate fan participation, further enhancing the 4D experience.

For performances of "OPTIONS" and "MOONLIGHT SUNRISE," the LED cube transformed the venue into a summer night sky, adding to the sense of refreshment and awe. The presence of a full live band accentuated the powerful impact of these performances, drawing audiences deeper into the music and staging.

A special highlight of the concerts was the first-ever live unveiling of unreleased solo tracks by all nine members. Following the surprise lyric video releases on official SNS channels in June, members including Nayeon ("MEEEEEE"), Jeongyeon ("FIX A DRINK"), and Momo ("MOVE LIKE THAT") performed their new solo songs, demonstrating each artist’s unique musical style. Exclusive unit stages—Sana, Jihyo, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu’s "DAT AHH DAT OOH," as well as Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, and Mina’s "BATTITUDE"—were also performed live for the first time, bringing fresh energy to both shows.

Reflecting on the concerts, TWICE stated, "We devoted a great deal of time to prepare and to ensure that every member of the audience would be satisfied through new challenges. We will never forget the moment of our first show."

A surprise teaser video for the group’s upcoming documentary film, "TWICE : ONE IN A MILLION," was also screened during the finale on July 20. The documentary, chronicling ten years of highlights and individual member stories, is set for a global theatrical release at the end of October.

Following the Incheon concerts, TWICE’s "THIS IS FOR" world tour will continue in July in Osaka, then on to Aichi and Fukuoka in August, Tokyo and Macau in September, Bulacan and Singapore in October, Sydney, Melbourne, and Kaohsiung in November, and finally Hong Kong and Bangkok in December. The tour will cover major cities across Asia and Oceania, meeting fans throughout the region.
