Tzuyu, TWICE’s Taiwanese member, offers a personal entry point into the group’s music through her solo debut, abouTZU. For fans visiting Korea this month, there is also a date to put in the diary: TWICE THE THRILL, the group’s 11th-anniversary pop-up, runs October 17–25, 2026, at Platz 2 in Seongsu.
TWICE’s official announcement gives the venue as 35 Ttukseom-ro 17-gil, Seongdong-gu, Seoul. The pop-up offers an occasion for an ONCE outing, but the notice does not announce a Tzuyu appearance or a meeting with the members.
Start with Tzuyu’s solo debut
Released on September 6, 2024, abouTZU has six tracks, led by “Run Away.” JYP’s album introduction describes the title song’s synth-pop and dance sound, and credits Tzuyu as the sole lyricist of the closing track, “Fly.” Listening to those two songs together gives you both the title-track performance and a song whose words she wrote herself.
Watch JYP Entertainment’s official “Run Away” video, then listen through the album before the trip. The dates matter here: abouTZU is her 2024 solo debut; the Seongsu pop-up is a new group-anniversary event in October 2026.
Tzuyu’s Taiwanese background is part of TWICE’s cross-border story. Taiwan’s Overseas Community Affairs Council, carrying a Central News Agency report, identifies her as Taiwanese singer Chou Tzu-yu. For visitors coming to Korea through an interest in her music, this itinerary pairs that artist connection with a public event and an optional neighborhood walk.

Open My FANS → Reservation/Ticket History before leaving and make sure the booking appears. Plan the rest of the day around that session. For rules covering children’s bookings and other entry restrictions, read the full FANS notice.
Leave time for Seoul Forest
Seoul Forest makes a useful second stop if you want some outdoor time after the pop-up. Its paths offer a quieter way to continue the day than adding another shopping queue. This is K-Life’s independent neighborhood suggestion; it is not a claimed Tzuyu visiting spot.
Korea Tourism Organization’s current park listing gives the address as 273 Ttukseom-ro, Seongdong-gu, with free general admission. Individual facilities have their own opening arrangements, so check those separately if an indoor attraction is important to your visit.
Save both map pins: 플라츠 2, 서울 성동구 뚝섬로17길 35, and 서울숲, 서울 성동구 뚝섬로 273. They are different destinations. Check the route and leave a comfortable margin around your reservation rather than relying on a fixed walking time.
Event details checked October 16, 2026. The pop-up ends October 25; confirm entry rules and availability in FANS before traveling.
