Quotes

“My absolute dream goal is to dance with Beyonce on stage.”

“It was an honor to have our album and names mentioned on the Billboard charts.”

“Out of all our Twice songs in general, I really like ‘TT.’ It’s really fun to perform with fans.”

“I will never forget when we performed at the Tokyo Dome. Growing up, I was told that only A-list famous musicians are invited to perform at that venue.”

“We are able to relieve stress by leaning on each other. We often hang out at our home, order takeout food, and talk openly about our feelings. We are all there for each other.”

“I wrote ‘Love Foolish,’ and when I heard the music for the first time, it felt like this was a song that Twice hadn’t done before. I thought the song and music had a very mature tone, so I wrote the lyrics to match. I was inspired by the music directly.”
