K-pop veteran artist PSY held his annual year-end All Night Stand concert featuring global K-Pop icons TWICE as a surprise for fans this year.
The nine-member girl group headlined the concert on December 23, 2022 performing some of their greatest hits such as Heartshaker, Feel Special, and Talk That Talk.
The Gangnam Style singer has held his end-of-the-year extravaganzas every year since 2003. This year's concert was held after a gap of three years caused by the pandemic. The show began at 11:42 PM KST, as 42's Korean pronunciation sounds similar to Psy's name.
The concert continued throughout the night, with TWICE's main stage surprise performance happening at 1 AM KST. It was the group's first stage concert since their hugely successful world tour came to an end on May 15, 2022.
Fans react to TWICE's surprise stage at PSY's concert
Even international fans were surprised by TWICE's appearance as the main event at PSY's concert. ONCE (TWICE's fandom) erupted on Twitter, praising the girls for their stage presence and energy.
Though it wasn't their concert, the audience demanded an encore from the girls, which ONCE said was proof of their popularity among K-pop fans. All nine members also greeted fans from the stage and wished them happy holidays.
Group member Nayeon said:
"Last year this time too we held a concert in this exact same venue, so to be back here again after 1 year as a guest performer for PSY sunbaenim feels really great!"
Other girl groups also appeared as guests on the other two days of the All Night Stand concert. G-IDLE performed Nxde, Tomboy, and My Bag on December 22 while ITZY performed Sneakers as a guest on December 24, the last day of the concert.
