Get ready to be blown away – TWICE’s recent This Is For Singapore concert wasn’t just a performance; it was a masterclass in K-pop excellence. But here’s where it gets controversial: while I’ve seen TWICE live more than once, including their South Korea show in July, I’ll admit the Singapore concert didn’t quite top that experience. Yet, it still stands as one of the most electrifying live shows this year – and here’s why.
Let’s start with the stage. The 360-degree setup was a game-changer. For fans, it meant every seat was a front-row experience, offering a unique perspective no matter where you sat. For TWICE, it was a technical marvel, requiring them to relearn choreography to navigate the circular stage flawlessly. And they did – with precision that left jaws dropping. Songs like Fancy, I Can’t Stop Me, and Set Me Free weren’t just performed; they were reimagined for this immersive space.
But this is the part most people miss: the solo stages. Unlike their Ready To Be tour, each member showcased an original solo track, spanning genres from Jeongyeon’s country-inspired Fix A Drink to Chaeyoung’s disco-pop banger Shoot (Firecracker). It wasn’t just a display of versatility – it was a bold statement of their growth as individual artists. Is this the future of K-pop groups? Let’s discuss in the comments.
The group’s signature synergy was, as always, undeniable. Nayeon and Jihyo’s vocals on Mars were nothing short of breathtaking, while Momo and Mina’s dance breaks had the crowd in awe. Even Dahyun’s playful attempt at Singlish felt like a warm hug to the Singapore audience. And let’s not forget Sana and Tzuyu’s effortless fan service – they know exactly how to charm a room.
Visually, the concert was a sensory overload in the best way. LED screens enveloped the stage, transforming the arena into a kaleidoscope of light and color. The performance of One Spark was a highlight, with fireworks erupting on screen, creating a moment that felt both epic and intimate.
Here’s the bold truth: TWICE isn’t just maintaining their throne – they’re redefining it. As they enter their 10th year, their artistry, discipline, and bond with fans remain unmatched. This wasn’t just another tour stop; it was a declaration that they’re here to stay. But I’ll leave you with this thought: Can any K-pop group truly surpass TWICE’s legacy? Let me know what you think below.
