While TikTok has helped TWICE to further expand their international fanbase, they have already captured the hearts of fans worldwide since their debut in 2015. Tickets for their fourth world tour, titled TWICE 4TH WORLD TOUR ‘III,’ went on sale in December 2021 and sold out within hours of its launch, even after adding additional dates. We are excited to see what is in store next for these viral-worthy dance queens.
