K-pop girl group Twice’s upcoming EP sold over 1.7 million copies in pre-orders, announced label JYP Entertainment on Wednesday.
The group’s 12th EP “Ready to Be,” due out on Friday, is set to be another multi-million-seller following the previous EP “Between 1＆2” in August last year.
Expectations for the album have been high, and pre-release from the EP “Moonlight Sunrise” ranked No. 84 on Billboard’s Hot 100 last month.
The nine-member group will perform the main track “Set Me Free” for the first time on NBC’s “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Thursday in the US. On Saturday, it will host a livestream and discuss the album while still in New York.
Next month, it will kick off its fifth international tour starting with a concert in Seoul. The group will hit 14 cities in total, in Australia, Japan and the US, for 17 shows up until July.
