Multi-award-winning South Korean Girl Group TWICE is celebrating their debut anniversary as a group this October 20, and their official account has outlined many surprises and activities for fans to enjoy.
Any lucky fan who lives around Seoul could go to Gonggan Wadiz, a local pop-up store that will feature exclusive merchandise of the group. There’s a retro-themed photo booth, which fans might appreciate given that the group has been embracing the Y2K aesthetic.
The pop-up store will be available from October 18–25, 8PM KST, which should be enough time for fans to visit. For fans far away from Seoul, there are other ways to feel connected with the group, even without going to physical events. A tweet by the official Twitter account of TWICE featured a playlist to celebrate eight years of TWICE. The Spotify playlist contained many hits both old and new, that would get any fan dancing.
