TWICE Takes Over ‘Shabekuri 007’—All Nine Members, All Charm

All nine members of TWICE appeared together on Japanese variety show Shabekuri 007 for the first time, and let’s just say—it was the kind of chaos ONCEs live for.

The episode aired on September 22 and marked a major moment for the group, as they’ve never done a full-group Japanese variety show before. Naturally, Japanese viewers (and ONCEs worldwide) couldn’t get enough.

‘I’m Gonna Cry!’ Even the Hosts Were Starstruck

One of the show’s hosts, Ken Horiuchi from the comedy trio Neptune, didn’t hide his fanboy feelings. “I feel like crying!” he gushed—totally relatable energy.

The group’s segment featured cute childhood photos, a peek into their personal backgrounds, and plenty of unexpected trivia that left viewers both laughing and swooning.

TWICE Performs New Hit ‘ENEMY’ and Joins in on the Fun

In addition to the hilarious banter, TWICE hyped up their appearance with a slick performance of their latest Japanese single, ‘ENEMY’—the title track from their sixth Japanese original album of the same name. And yes, the chorus choreo was as addictive as ever.

They also filmed a short-form video with the Shabekuri cast, which later exploded on TWICE’s official social media—fans flooded the comments with praise and heart emojis.

Tour Talk: TWICE in Tokyo Dome & More to Come

Their Tokyo Dome show—part of their “TWICE <THIS IS FOR> WORLD TOUR IN JAPAN”—marked the final stop for now. But surprise! They announced an additional round of Japan tour dates for Spring 2026, proving once again that TWICE never stops giving ONCEs reasons to celebrate.

Oh, and just to stack the good news? These appearances are all part of the group’s build-up to their 10th anniversary debut fan meeting in Seoul on October 18 and the release of their special album “TEN: The Story Goes On” on October 10.

Why This Matters

TWICE serving legendary visuals, showcasing natural variety show talent, and deepening their presence in Japan? That’s what we call Hallyu at full power.

As they gear up for their 10th anniversary, it’s clear the group isn’t just looking back—they’re looking to dominate every screen, stage, and streaming platform in their path.
