Twice took the stage on the “Today” show yesterday for a live performance in New York amidst their “Ready to Be” world tour. The South Korean girl group performed their hit songs “Alcohol-Free,” “Set Me Free” and “Moonlight Sunrise.”

A majority of the members wore a variety of Y2K-inspired cropped tops in knitted or corseted styles. For example, Momo donned a whimsical butterfly halter crop top while Mina wore a light pink knitted asymmetrical cropped top. For bottoms, the K-Pop stars wore a variety of distressed cargo pants, miniskirts and denim.

When it came down to footwear, a variety of members, including Chaeyoung, Dahyun and Jihyo, sported neutral or white leather knee-high boots. The style often consists of lace-up closures with sharp pointed toes and an appealing high-shine finish that transitioned into sharp stiletto or block heels that ranged around 3 to 4 inches in height.

Other members like Nayeon and Jeongyeon chose to opt for platform combat boots. The utilitarian style featured calf-high leather uppers in either black or white with a sleek lace-up silhouette. The shoes were complete with rounded toes and ridged rubber platform soles.

Twice is comprised of nine members including Chaeyoung, Nayeon, Tzuyu, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun and Jeongyeon. Later on in the show, the group performed their new song “Moonlight Sunrise” off of their mini album titled “Ready to Be” comprised of seven songs.

The album includes an English and Korean version of their track titled “Set Me Free.” The song is the second all-English release following “The Feels” in 2021. Along with the release of their mini album, Twice also embarked on their 5th world tour in April and ending in July, stopping in Sydney, Tokyo, and many parts of North America.

“Ready to Be” is now available for streaming on Spotify.
