The group TWICE will release their new regular album and the title track "THIS IS FOR" at 1 p.m. today (11th).

Debuting on October 20, 2015, TWICE is celebrating their 10th anniversary this year. They have established themselves as a stadium headliner performing in stadiums worldwide and as an iconic K-pop group, sharing joy with fans through their 4th regular album "THIS IS FOR" on July 11 and marking infinite growth.

The new album contains a broad meaning with titles like "THIS IS FOR YOU," "THIS IS FOR ONCE," and "THIS IS FOR EVERYONE," filled with music for everyone and for us. The members noted through their agency JYP Entertainment, "This album is a regular album released after 3 years and 8 months, and we wanted to convey our appreciation to the domestic and international public who have shown love and interest over the past 10 years, as well as to ONCE (the fandom name) who have always stayed by TWICE and looked in the same direction. We thought carefully about how we could show a more developed look and aimed to create music that could be remembered as an appropriate piece for our 10th anniversary."

As if knowing TWICE's intense struggles, worldwide fans cheered as various teaser content was unveiled. "We consciously tried to capture a fresh and unique charm while maintaining TWICE's distinctive color, incorporating changes in unit song combinations and concept photo shoots. This album holds special meaning for us, and we included a lot of the members' opinions during the production. We were grateful for the reactions like 'Wow, TWICE has this kind of voice and feeling' and 'This is a new concept that I've never seen from TWICE,' and we felt even better knowing that there are endless charms we want to showcase as TWICE," expressing pride in the enthusiastic responses.

"The 14 songs included in the new album, along with 9 songs revealed through the solo lyric video content, are expanding our activity range. There’s a nickname 'Sowice' because we work hard like oxen (laughs). The love the members have for the team and the ongoing support from our fans have made it possible for us to continue our activities. ONCE is our greatest motivation," they said, adding, "We prepared many things to have a great summer with ONCE. Along with the title track activities for "THIS IS FOR," we are starting a new world tour next week (19th-20th).

Starting a world tour, this tour will feature 360-degree performances at all venues, making it the first standalone concert with 360-degree experiences, which raises expectations. They expressed their desire to showcase more dynamic performances with a wide range of stages. Especially, they said they are excited to perform as headliners at the large music festival "Lollapalooza Chicago" held in Grant Park, Chicago, Illinois, on August 2 (local time). "We are thrilled thinking about playing with the audience on a large festival stage. We will make sure that even those seeing TWICE for the first time can feel our energy. We are preparing exciting songs that everyone can sing along to, so please look forward to it," they added as a spoiler. Finally, when asked about their participation in the original soundtrack "TAKEDOWN (JEONGYEON, JIHYO, CHAEYOUNG)" for the global Netflix animation "KPop Demon Hunters," which is leading to global success, Jeongyeon, Jihyo, and Chaeyoung said, "We have heard that it is receiving a lot of love. Our song "Strategy" is also featured in the movie, and we hope it receives great love. We would also appreciate it if you could pay attention and support our 4th regular album "THIS IS FOR", which will be released today (11th). TWICE will release their 4th regular album "THIS IS FOR" and the title track at 1 p.m. today. On the comeback day, they will appear successively on KBS 2TV's "Music Bank" on the 11th, MBC's "Show! Music Core" on the 12th, and SBS's "Inkigayo" on the 13th.
