K-pop powerhouse TWICE is marking its ninth debut anniversary with a special pop-up store and fan meeting, offering fans a chance to create lasting memories with the group.
TWICE's agency, JYP Entertainment, announced Tuesday through an official press release that the group will open a pop-up store titled "TWICE 9TH ANNIVERSARY POP-UP STORE 'HOME 9ROUND'" at the Lotte World Mall Atrium in southeastern Seoul's Songpa District. The store will be open from Oct. 9 to 20 in celebration of the milestone.
The number nine holds special significance for TWICE, a group made up of nine members. To highlight this, the pop-up's name combines the number with the baseball term "home ground," reflecting the event's playful, sports-themed concept. More details about the store will be provided later through the group's official channels.
On the debut anniversary itself, Oct. 20, TWICE will host a special fan meeting, "2024 TWICE FANMEETING 'HOME 9ROUND,'" at the Olympic Hall in Songpa District. The event will take place twice that day, at 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. The 7 p.m. session will be livestreamed for international fans via the Beyond Live platform.
Tickets for the fan meeting will go on pre-sale for members of TWICE's official fan club, ONCE, on Sept. 27 at 8 p.m. via YES24. General ticket sales are set to open on Sept. 30 at 8 p.m.
