Long Lines From the Start of #TWICEinOakland
Even before the concert's start at 7:30 PM, ONCEs headed to the concert venue. Merchandise was available starting at 1:00 PM and was open to the public. Because of that, both concert-goers and non-concert goers headed to the merchandise to cop some TWICE goodies!
What Did TWICE Sing For Sound Check?
At around 5:00 PM, TWICE held a soundcheck before starting the concert to minimize any technical difficulties during the actual show. Some lucky fans with VIP tickets are able to watch TWICE's soundcheck!
During this part of the event, TWICE performed their debut song "Like OOH-AH," as well as their other songs "Rollin" and "Baby Blue Love."
TWICE did not hesitate to interact with fans despite not yet being the concert! People present revealed that they received hand hearts, waves, finger hearts and more from the members!
#TWICEinOakland Officially Starts!
The concert officially started at 7:30 PM. There, ONCEs were treated to over 30 songs! In addition, the girls performed several of their hits, such as "I CAN'T STOP ME," "Feel Special," "The Feels," "FANCY," "SCIENTIST," "What is Love?" and more!
The girl group also has ments in between every three songs, catching up with fans and interacting.
Besides their songs as nine, TWICE's sub-units also performed their songs. Sana, Jihyo and Dahyun performed "Push & Pull," Nayeon, Momo and Chaeyong performed "Hello," and Jeongyeon, Mina and Tzuyu performed "1,3,2."
For their encore, TWICE performed "Candy" and "LIKEY."
#WeLoveYouJeongyeon & GREEN BONGS FOR JEONGYEON
Though the concert showcased TWICE's best hits and was filled with interactions between artists and fans, member Jeongyeon also sparked concern.
As the show carried on, she appeared tired and unwell. For example, during the ment after "I CAN'T STOP ME," she was seen shedding tears.
Nayeon and Jeongyeon were seen holding her hand as she cried. Mina was also seen comforting Jeongyeon, handing her tissues. Despite her tears, Jeongyeon continued performing and showed her best. Sadly, ONCEs could still see how hard performing was for her.
Because of that, ONCEs changed their Candy Bong (TWICE's lightstick) to green, which is Jeongyeon's official color. This is ONCEs way of supporting Jeongyeon and cheering her up as the concert goes on.
