After intense performances of "Wonderland," "Say My Name" and "HALA HALA," @ATEEZofficial's San head mic fell off and he ran offstage to fix it with the staff, they quickly took care of it. I saw them bringing towels over to clear his sweat to help haha you're killing it San!!!

#SEVENTEEN wore black diamond rings in their trailers to represent the darkness/fear that's focused on in the album. They say look closer at the trailers for more on this

"I came to realize that on this long breath of a tour how much we depend on one another and how amazing our comparability is with one another. But, anyways, I never said this because I felt so embarrassed, but my members: I love you guys" -@ENHYPEN_members Jungwon #ENHYPENinNYC

The other day I had a melody in my head and couldn't remember what song it was from, only a few words so I googled them but got no results. Later realized it was @pledis_17's new single😂😂I really think it's got massive general public appeal. Lots will have it in their heads too

#Voyager was a special moment for Kihyun and I'm glad I got to get his reflections as a singer, a songwriter, a creative and how it distinguishes him from @OfficialMonstaX

As a digital only single, the digital sale and streaming will be HUGE to making it onto charts like @billboard Hot 100. Focusing all attention on this song can make it happen!
You can do it, #Carats! 💪💪

Cool notes about "BTBT"
+B.I and Souljaboy both co-produced and co-wrote
+Jeremy Reeves, Jonathan Yip and Ray Romulus (of @Stereotypes) who won the 2018 Grammy for Song of the Year with Bruno Mars for "That's What I Like" co-wrote as well. They also worked on "Got It Like That"

Early industry predictions have TWICE's #BETWEEN1and2 debuting on the Billboard 200 earning 80-85k in sales
For perspective, the top debut of the week is projected for 105-115k. And last week's No. 2 album earned 108k. But I still believe #TWICE can hit a new chart peak!
