Anyone still reeling from Twice’s arena concert last year? Well, good news for Filipino Onces because we don’t have to wait years for Twice to come back to the country. Recently, the nine-member K-pop girl group announced they will be holding a special fan meet in Manila this June.
The 2023 Billboard Women in Music Breakthrough Award-winning group has recently finished promotions for their recent mini album “With You-th,” and is soon set to wrap up their successful “Ready To Be” World Tour (which had two soldout days at the Philippine Arena last year). But before their final encore stop in Japan, Twice will be dancing the night away with their Filipino fans on June 1 at a special fan meet collaboration with local snack brand Oishi.
ICYMI, you can score tickets to this event by purchasing the special Twice x Oishi Snacktacular Fan Bag, which includes not only an assortment of snacks, but also Philippine-exclusive merchandise, such as a selca photocard and either a card sleeve/photocard holder or OT9 poster. All this can be availed for only P300.
Wait, what happens at a Twice fan meet?
A fan meet is usually a more laid-back event. Although the girls will definitely be performing some songs, they’ll also engage with the fans through several talk sessions and games. Among fun activities Twice has already done in previous fan meets include song covers from other groups or artists (in an anniversary fan meet, they covered the 2000s Korean hit “10 Minutes”—yes, that viral song on beauty TikTok), relay dance games, and more chances to catch interactions between our biases.
Since this is a snack collab, we’ll probably see the girls enjoy many of our favorite Pinoy snacks, too. (And maybe Filo Onces’ long-time request of a certain P-pop girl group dance challenge? We can dream. *ahem* “Pantropiko” *ahem* Consider this an official suggestion, Twice and Oishi.)
Me likey! So how do I join this fan meet?
Inside each “snacktacular fan bag” is a scratch card containing a code that serves as your entry to the digital raffle. The first batch of winners has already been announced, but Onces can continue joining the raffle until May 16.
There are quite a lot of steps to consider when joining the raffle, so to be sure you don’t get lost in the flurry and the rush, here are some answers to your possible questions.
Is there a limit to the raffle entries I can submit?
Yes, each individual can only enter a maximum of 20 promo codes. One code corresponds to one raffle entry.

If I already won tickets this week, can I continue joining the raffle to win more tickets?
Sorry, no, please give a chance to other Onces! Promo codes submitted by winners will also be removed from the database once they’ve won, to avoid having repeat winners.
