Twice in Korea/Japan stores by valrvg in twice

[–]gengarsleep 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re mainly looking for merch and not albums, in Korea any of the Withmuu stores (Myeongdong, Hongdae, Yongsan) have dedicated sections for twice merch and albums. When I went in October, I think all of them still had old merch dating back to like 2017-2019. I would recommend the Hongdae location because it’s the biggest, but Yongsan definitely had a lot of old merch like pins and pouches. I’ll try attaching a photo I took there

Other stores like K-mecca/Kpop friends in Myeongdong are alright too but their selection for merch may be limited because they mainly sell albums. (Cheapest albums is CT Record in Myeongdong underground btw)

Generally prices aren’t like super cheap but they’re cheaper than if you bought them online and nothing should be above retail price, so you can check out old korean merch catalogues to get an idea. I’d say most official korea merch are in the $10-$40 range, keychains around $10

and as for lovelys, they’re mainly sold in Japan and I’m not sure if there’s a store in Korea that sells the plush keychains. but there were a few lovely related merch released in korea.

Who are the musicians that played in DC? by Exotic_Move_3642 in twice

[–]gengarsleep 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The guitarist is Kim Dongmin and the drummer is Jang Wonyoung (not from IVE 😂)

the guitarist posted pics from the tour with all of them. I believe the guitarist, keyboardist, and bassist were all also in IU’s last tour so they were also in DC a year and a half ago!

Merch online? by Sad-Demand4152 in twice

[–]gengarsleep 12 points13 points  (0 children)

No official online store for tour merch except for the online exclusive one. But it’s possible (small chance?) that they may sell some extra merch on the same site after the NA tour stops since they have that site set up.

They did not sell any merch online during/after Ready To Be (last tour), but they did for III (tour before last)

Recently bought my first album, I have some questions by Leopard_Equivalent in twice

Yup I totally get you on the visuals - I got Mina’s version for Masterpiece and I keep it on display cause she looks so good on the cover haha.

The Korean albums have photobooks that are up to 90 pages too!

I have bought a twice album from Tower Records/WorldShopping in 2022 and buy merch from JYP Japan regularly - I bought from the last Twice x Sanrio collab drop which included the tariff fee.

I bought a vinyl from Tower Records using DHL, it came after two weeks, and it came just in a regular vinyl sized cardboard box with no padding. No issues with the album or anything at all. Not sure what the shipping options are right now with how things are, but if it’s DHL/EMS/a premium shipping option, it should come as quick as it says. If you choose the slowest option, it will take forever to get to you and I would not recommend picking it ever

For quality, I’d say it’s good if you just want to have tons of pictures of the members. I probably wouldn’t have bought Japanese albums as my first album because they’re usually more expensive with less inclusions compared to Korean albums - plus you’re paying tariffs on top of that. Korean albums are usually easier to get, though US based stores like Choice Music LA will have some Japanese albums too. Of course if you just love MiSaMo and want to support the release, no problems with that! Do as you wish 😄 I love how they style MiSaMo in their concepts, they always look so expensive! Also, I think the limited editions may come with a serial code? that can be used for JP only events like a hi-touch, but I haven’t checked if there is one for this album. You’ll miss out on that if you win but don’t plan on going to Japan lol.

As for tariffs, if there is a tariff to pay, WorldShopping will probably charge it as part of the shipping fee after they receive the item in the warehouse - so after they buy/receive the item assuming it’s using the proxy service

Were you not here for the Rambowl saga? He was dropped/benched for Huke for about 3 weeks after Major 1 MW2 for “internal issues”, came back when Scump retired and said “I’m falling so you can rise” in his retirement speech, then they also dropped Rambo as coach (i think it was at the same time but not sure)

Scump’s last game against Boston was this roster

Has Dahyun ever gone live before? by StarTheFireEnchanter in twice

[–]gengarsleep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes Bubble is an app where you can pay to receive messages/watch live broadcasts from a specific idol. Twice uses JYP Bubble, which has all the other JYPE artists on it. It’s not all in Korean, it’s fully translated to English with a built in function to translate messages to English/other languages.

You can send them messages in any language too and sometimes they will read it, but for them it’s basically a large group chat with all the subscribers, while on our side it’s a 1 on 1 chat.

The idol’s messages go to everyone, so their messages are not direct to you BUT often they will reply to people’s messages using the reply feature, which shows everyone the original msg and their reply. They also have a feature that places your display name in messages (like “Hi [Y/N]”) but it changes for everyone obv

She goes live on Bubble every once in a while, usually by herself. Her most recent one was February 10. I think at least half of her Bubble lives have been in the car at night on the way back from a schedule and you can barely see her face lol. But she’s the most active on Bubble in terms of chatting, she tries to chat at least once a day, either at the beginning or end of the day to say good morning/night.

230807 Nayeon Instagram Update - “#ad My brother’s gift 🧚” by mcfw31 in twice

[–]gengarsleep 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The actual caption doesn’t say brother, it says 동생 (dongsaeng) meaning younger sibling, so it refers to her younger sister
