ONCE UPON A NEWS
Ed.314 - Covering 250930 to 251007
TWICE NEWS BOARD
Last week, the first of the special streams was revealed to be quite a surprise for ONCE, with a 40min documentary of TWICE's first appearance in a festival: LOLLAPALOOZA CHICAGO 2025! Revealing a lot about the members dedication in their performance preparations and troubles they have to overcome to pull out a good show for fans. For more details, an ONCE explained the in-ears complexity and the problems encounter in the documentary in a thread on Twitter/X (non-log thread). Also, the crew of K-pop Demon Hunter revealed in an interview they asked if TWICE would be keen on performing "Takedown" (more about this interview in the Miscellaneous section).
This is a great tease for the documentary as well as for the concerts to come for the "This Is For" World Tour! More info & details in the sections below ⬇️
Then, on the weekend, the second stream with TWICE's MV discography happened... but was cut off during "Knock Knock" and made unavailable probably from automated copyright infringement by Youtube. Not long after, JYPE released the full video "All Time Hits : The Discography Stream" on the platform and ONCE were able to enjoy all TWICE's South Korean MVs + The Feels MV in 4K, even for the ones that were released in 1080p.
