Building on this success, Tzuyu, who has gained immense popularity not only in South Korea but also in her home country of Taiwan, is expected to continue her activities on the global stage.

Meanwhile, TWICE, the group Tzuyu is a member of, recently successfully concluded their sixth world tour, “THIS IS FOR,” which ran for about a year.

1. You’ve worked hard

2. But the world tour was severeㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Why doesn’t she try something else now?

3. I’ll be waiting for your solo album

4. They were touring them way too much over there

5. They should’ve cut down on the tours and support their solo activities more… seriously… It’s not even like they were at the beginning of their careers and she’s been there for 11 years…

6. Since she’s still doing group activities, the terms must be better for her personally, congrats congrats

7. Tzuyu should be promoting in Taiwan now. JYP, just wait and seeㅠ

8. Seriously, when is she ever gonna rest? It was insane

9. With her level of seniority, she should be doing solo projects now… but it’s a shame that it will become harder to see them do group activities nowㅜ

10. She hasn’t been doing much solo work lately. I guess it’s time to start doing some global solo activities now

11. ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Tzuyu, you’ve worked so hardㅠㅠㅠ

12. Still, she’s staying for TWICE promotions so fighting on your solo activities from now on!

13. I feel like they packed their world tour concerts way too much… everyone must want to promote solo too

14. She stayed for 11 years, that’s a lot… JYP also toured them way too much

15. Every time I see JYP, I think that they go overboard with the touring. It’s better to leave
