K-pop powerhouse TWICE just made history with their most personal release yet. The nine-member girl group unveiled their 10th-anniversary special album "TEN: The Story Goes On" on Friday, October 10th at 1 p.m., marking a decade of dominating the global music scene since their debut on October 20, 2015.
This isn't just another comeback—it's a love letter to their devoted fandom, ONCE, packed with individual solo tracks that showcase each member's distinct artistry for the first time in a special anniversary collection.
What Makes This Album Different
The 10-track special album centers around the title track
"ME+YOU" but breaks new ground by dedicating nine songs to solo performances from each member. This format allows fans to experience the
unique styles and individual charms of Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu in ways previous group releases haven't explored.
TWICE described the album as a
"special gift" to ONCE, cementing their reputation for prioritizing fan connection alongside commercial success. The timing couldn't be more perfect—the album arrives just days before their actual anniversary date later this month.
Record-Breaking Tour Success Continues
While celebrating their past, TWICE is simultaneously making their biggest touring statement ever. The group is currently in the midst of their sixth world tour,
"READY TO BE", which has become the
largest tour in the group's history with 63 shows planned across 42 cities worldwide.
But they're not done yet. TWICE has already announced their next move: the
"This Is For" World Tour launching in early 2026. With tickets already on sale, the group shows no signs of slowing their global dominance.
A Homecoming Celebration
On October 18th, just eight days after the album release, TWICE will host
"10VE UNIVERSE", an exclusive fan meeting at Korea University's Hwajeong Gymnasium in Seoul. This intimate celebration gives Korean fans a chance to commemorate the decade-long journey that transformed nine young women into international superstars.
The Numbers That Tell the Story
Since their 2015 debut under JYP Entertainment, TWICE has released
11 studio albums and moved over
6 million albums worldwide. Their infectious hits like
"Cheer Up" and
"TT" became cultural phenomena, establishing them as pan-Asian K-pop royalty with reach extending far beyond South Korea.
What This Means for K-Pop
TWICE's anniversary album represents more than nostalgia—it's a statement about longevity in an industry known for short-lived acts. By giving each member solo spotlight while maintaining group cohesion, they're rewriting the playbook for how veteran K-pop groups can evolve while staying relevant.
The group's ability to sell out massive world tours while experimenting with new formats proves their fanbase isn't just loyal—it's growing. Their upcoming 2026 tour announcement, arriving alongside their anniversary celebrations, signals confidence that their next decade could be even bigger than their first.
For ONCE and casual K-pop fans alike, "TEN: The Story Goes On" offers both celebration and preview—honoring where TWICE has been while hinting at exciting new directions ahead.
