K-pop girl group TWICE kicked off the North American leg of their tour on June 10, bringing their Ready To Be tour to eager fans. After setting the record last year as the first female K-pop artist to hold a stadium concert in the U.S., the nine-member ensemble became the first-ever girl group and first Asian female act to sell out Los Angeles' SoFi Stadium. An inspirational group that needs no introduction, nine-member ensemble TWICE has returned to the United States for their fifth world tour, Ready To Be. As they enter their eighth year together, TWICE strives to show the world they are ready to embrace their authentic soul and are capable of taking on any challenge that stands before them. With continuous success since their 2015 debut, TWICE have helped shape the landscape in K-pop and pave the way for the next generation of female artists. For their efforts, TWICE were honored with the Breakthrough Award at the 2023 Billboard Women in Music Awards — becoming the first Korean group to receive this feat. Tzuyu summarized their gratitude: "This accomplishment will forever motivate us to challenge ourselves and break more barriers."
