TWICE reinforced its status as the world's top girl group by becoming the first K-pop girl group to take home a trophy at the American Music Awards (AMA), considered one of the three major U.S. popular music awards.
TWICE was selected as the winner in the "Best Female K-pop Artist" institutional sector at the American Music Awards held at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, U.S., on the 25th (local time). As a long-standing ceremony where winners are decided entirely by 100% fan votes, this first win on their second overall nomination demonstrates TWICE's solid global popularity.
This formidable influence is also evident in the dazzling achievements of their largest-ever world tour since debut, "THIS IS FOR," now in its 12th year. Through the North American tour held in 20 cities, TWICE drew approximately 550,000 people, the largest audience ever for a K-pop girl group. In Japan, they made history as the first overseas artist to hold solo performances at the Tokyo National Stadium, attracting 240,000 people over three days.
Meanwhile, TWICE, which has been solidifying its global reputation with passionate support from fans worldwide, is currently focused on its Europe tour. Having visited Lisbon, Barcelona and Paris and nearing the end of the tour, they will meet local fans in Amsterdam on the 30th and 31st to continue the unflagging excitement.
