The females are seen in the first teaser clip removing artificial eyelashes, lipstick, and blush before posing as a white group that seems stunningly fresh-faced. In the second teaser, they begin with a single-file line and then perform fascinating choreography as they peel off from the line one by one, giving each dancer her moment.
The song and music video will be released together with TWICE’s 12th mini album, Ready to Be, on Friday, March 10. The soon-to-be-published EP will also include “Set Me Free,” the K-pop sensation’s single from January, “Moonlight Sunrise,” and four more songs, two of which got written by Dahyun.
The girls will appear on The Tonight Show, Starring Jimmy Fallon, on Thursday (March 9).
Only a week before the release of the brand-new teaser videos, Sabrina Carpenter, a self-described TWICE fan, presented TWICE with the Breakthrough Award at the Women in Music event by Billboard, where they played “Moonlight Sunrise” and made history as the first K-pop group to be recognized.
With “READY TO BE,” TWICE sets a personal record by surpassing 1.7M stock pre-orders
TWICE’s next mini album, “READY TO BE,” has already achieved 1.7 million stock pre-orders, setting a record for the group.
The quantity of album stock produced before an album’s release is calculated according to the number of stock pre-orders. The figure shows the anticipated demand based on several factors, including the number of albums that people have pre-ordered.
