Fans traveled from around the country and some even slept outside in the cold for a chance to see JYPETWICE in L.A. over the weekend. Here's what it was like to be there. TWICE TWICE_LA_POP_UP TwicePopUp
Eighteen-year-old Matilda Oberman was one of the first people in a line of hundreds outside a Melrose Avenue storefront on Saturday morning. She’d come with a pack of K-pop-obsessed friends and family for the chance to meet Twice, the South Korean pop group and one of the most popular young acts on the planet.

The all-night enthusiasm was a clear sign that K-pop, now entering its third wave of American popularity, has new stadium-sized heroes in Twice.
“They have so much energy and they don’t lip-sync, which is rare in K-pop,” Oberman said. “They really care about their live performances.”“I’m going to be fighting for a barricade ticket to see them at SoFi ,” said 17-year-old Luis Guerra, who arrived at 7:30 a.m. Saturday to score a decent spot in line. The chance to meet the women of Twice had him feeling “really, really emotional,” he said.
One could credibly say it belongs to Blackpink, who will be the first K-pop act to headline the Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival in April. But there are more than 27 million Instagram followers, 15 million YouTube subscribers and 11 million Spotify fans ready to make a strong case for Twice, who in June will join BTS as the only K-pop groups to headline SoFi Stadium, home of last year’s Super Bowl.
“We are going to be performing in one of the largest stadiums in the world,” said Nayeon . “We’re so thankful to L.A. for this. But we are very proud of ourselves too.” Twice has had plenty of those challenges in the last three years. In 2020, Jongyeon had to take significant time off to recover from a herniated disc in her neck that required surgery — just before a much-anticipated arena tour. Both Nayeon and Mina have had to flee from stalkers, who tracked down their family homes and even bought plane tickets to try and approach them on a flight. The fear got so intense that Mina had to take a reprieve from touring.
