TWICE delivered a variety of attractions through a rich set list of more than 30 songs, including the b-track that fans wanted to see, Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu's solo stage.

TWICE, who traveled throughout the vast stadium concert hall, said, "I'm happy to dance and sing with ONCE on such a big stage. Thanks to your enthusiastic support and energy for each song, We was able to perform even more. We're really grateful," tjeu said. In particular, Dahyun said, "Today is the 11th year since I joined JYP Entertainment. I was really happy to be with you here at MetLife Stadium on a meaningful day," she said, marking an unforgettable night in New York.

At the end of the performance, a video that surprised 50,000 audiences was released. Jihyo's solo debut album trailer, which is set to be released as TWICE's second soloist in August, was released for the first time. In the video, Jihyo got on a grand bike and a colorful sports car and caught the eye with a confident aura. Jihyo, who boasts a special presence with powerful singing skills and extraordinary stage manners, is drawing attention to her new appearance with her first mini-album "ZONE" and title song "Killin' Me Good."

Meanwhile, TWICE will wrap up its North American tour in nine cities, including Los Angeles, Oakland, Seattle, Dallas, Houston, Chicago, Toronto, New York, and Atlanta, after a concert in Atlanta on the 9th. From September, they will perform in Singapore, London, England, Paris, France, Berlin, Germany, Bangkok, Thailand, and Bulacan, the Philippines, and continue its tour fever, which boasts its largest scale.
