Let's tackle the big issue head-on: I was fortunate enough to catch Twice's This Is For concert in South Korea back in July (https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/entertainment/twice-one-million-documentary-movie-10th-anniversary-468306). And trust me, that doesn't cloud my judgment here—it's actually a badge of authenticity, as I've seen them perform live more than just twice, building a solid foundation for this honest take.
But here's where it gets controversial... I'll be upfront: Honestly, I found the South Korean show slightly more captivating than the one in Singapore.
Yet, even with the absence of sub-unit tracks and the famous encore wheel, Twice's This Is For at the Singapore Indoor Stadium still ranks among the most thrilling live events Singapore has hosted this year.
For an intense two and a half hours, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu unleashed a show that transcended ordinary entertainment.
Picture this: Nayeon and Jihyo powering through the vocally challenging Mars with effortless confidence, Dahyun bringing the house down with her adorable Singlish antics, Momo and Mina igniting screams with their sharp, precise dance sequences, or Sana and Tzuyu effortlessly connecting with the audience through charming interactions—all nine members shone brightly, highlighting their unique talents in every moment.
This brilliance extended to their individual solo performances, which were the night's shining gems. Unlike their prior Ready To Be tour (https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/entertainment/twice-k-pop-singapore-2023-concert-review-369821), each member tackled a fresh, genre-bending original song, demonstrating their evolution as versatile artists. For beginners in K-pop, this means exploring beyond the group's signature pop sound into unexpected territories like country or disco, which keeps things fresh and shows how idols grow over time.
Jeongyeon’s country-flavored Fix A Drink, for instance, was a bold shift from Twice's typical vibe, and she nailed it with the cool confidence of Beyoncé in her Cowboy Carter phase—imagine twanging guitars meeting girl-group energy!
Then there's Chaeyoung’s Shoot (Firecracker), a fun disco-pop bop from her solo album (https://cnalifestyle.channelnewsasia.com/entertainment/twice-chaeyoung-solo-album-466326), which brought out her playful personality and underscored her distinct flair.
And this is the part most people miss... No Twice show would be complete without their legendary teamwork and flawless execution. On this night, that connection was palpable. The nine members functioned as a single, fluid entity, particularly during high-stakes routines like Fancy, I Can’t Stop Me, and Set Me Free.
These feats alone would test any band, but Twice elevated it with their innovative 360-degree stage. For attendees, this design ensured spectacular views from every angle—no bad seats here! Having experienced This Is For from multiple spots myself, I can confirm it feels like catching a brand-new show each time, with fresh perspectives on the choreography and energy.
For the performers, however, it's a monumental challenge. Adapting years of routines to a circular layout demands retraining, but they maneuvered through transitions as smoothly as if floating on air, all while maintaining pinpoint accuracy.
Visually, it was a feast for the senses. Surrounding LED screens enveloped the stage, crafting a totally immersive world that amplified the whole experience. Take One Spark as an example—screens burst into a dazzling fireworks display, flooding the arena with vibrant colors and pure joy, making it a highlight that lingers in memory.
In summary, Twice’s This Is For in Singapore wasn't merely a stop on their tour itinerary; it was a powerful statement that they're not slowing down as they hit their 10th anniversary.
With their unparalleled skill, dedication, and unbreakable fan connection, these nine continue to dominate the K-pop scene. By show's end, it was evident: Twice remains firmly atop their throne as one of the all-time great K-pop girl groups.
Let's spark some debate: Do you think preferring the South Korean version makes me biased, or does it add credibility? Is the 360-degree stage a game-changer for live music, or does it complicate things unnecessarily? Share your thoughts in the comments—do you agree with this take, or do you see it differently?
