2025 can be considered a boo.m year for the Kpop music market, welcoming the return of two famous groups BLACKPINK and TWICE . The world tour schedules of the two groups have been announced, which could lead to a wave of fierce competition.

At midnight on June 9 (Korean time), TWICE officially announced the world tour "THIS IS FOR" scheduled to take place in 2025. The information was revealed through a poster released on the group's official social media platforms, quickly attracting strong attention from global fans.

Before the announcement of the tour, TWICE had many outstanding activities in 2025. In April, the group had a remarkable collaboration with the legendary band Coldplay, when they performed 6 nights in the framework of the Music of the Spheres tour in Seoul. In this collaboration, TWICE and Coldplay performed a new version of the song "We Pra.y", receiving many compliments from experts and international audiences. Not stopping there, on May 14, the group continued to release their fifth Japanese compilation album titled #Twice5. Notably, on July 11, TWICE will officially return with their fourth studio album in Korean, also titled This Is For - promising to be a strong push for the second half of the year.

After nearly a decade of operation, TWICE still maintains a rare heat in the K-pop entertainment industry with the title of "record sales queen". The group's choice to release a new album and organize a global tour at the same time shows a clear repositioning strategy, affirming the spirit of constantly moving forward instead of just "living in the past glory".

As the K-pop wave continues to welcome new names, TWICE remains firmly established as a symbol of the third generation. Their return with a large-scale tour is not only good news for fans, but also seen as an affirmation of the group's position and lasting influence in the global music market.

"THIS IS FOR" is not just a tour, but also a milestone that TWICE is continuing to write in their musical journey, with a new spirit, new energy and never-ending connection.

Also this year, Korean music fans eagerly welcomed the return of the world-famous group BLACKPINK. Recently, BLACKPINK members were spotted filming a music video together at an undisclosed location in Korea, signaling that their long-awaited full-length comeback is coming soon.
