On Friday, Jan. 28, TIME shared JYP Entertainment girl group TWICE's performance of "DEPEND ON YOU," which they performed for the publication's "TIME100 Talks."
On Friday, Jan. 15, TIME announced that TWICE will be making a special performance at their "TIME 100" talk events. This is a live event organized by TIME Magazine that gathers leaders from every career field and talks about finding a solution to urgent global problems, as well as encourage cross-disciplinary action. There are some notable speakers from South Korea who were in attendance for the event, such as the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Kang Kyung Hwa.
Fo TWICE's performance, they performed their song "DEPEND ON YOU," which is one of their B-sides from their second studio album, "Eyes Wide Open." "DEPEND ON YOU" is extra special to TWICE as eldest member Nayeon had actually penned the lyrics for the song. The lyrics of the song talk about giving other people strength and courage during a time of darkness, which is greatly fitting during these difficult times.
In their performance, the girls are all seen sitting on white stools as they sang. They are in a setting surrounded by greenery, with a large elegant door at the back, as well as a piano. The setting looks like it is straight out of a fantasy movie!
The girls of TWICE are all seen in pretty, classy dresses. Sadly, member Jeongyeon was absent for this performance as she is still on a hiatus due to health reasons. The girls chose not to sing Jeongyeon's part and instead allowed her voice to play in the background.
