Why ONCE need a US shopper, not just JYP Shop or Japan
If you're ONCE outside Korea, the supply chain is the worst in K-pop because TWICE has two parallel discographies — Korean releases via JYP and Japanese releases via Warner Music Japan. To complete a 9-member photocard set across both markets, you're navigating JYP Shop, Weverse Shop US, Target / Walmart / B&N US variants, Universal Music Japan, Tower Records Japan, HMV Japan, and the Soundwave / Music Plant Korean retailer-exclusive pulls.
With 9 members (Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, Tzuyu) and Japan-half-of-the-group photocard pulls in MISAMO subunit drops, every album easily generates 30–50 unique photocard pulls across all retailer variants. We bundle the US side into one consolidated shipment, route your JYP Shop orders through your US suite, and coordinate with Japan partners for Japan-exclusive releases.
This is also the 10th anniversary era — TWICE's anniversary year has rolling collectible drops (special photobooks, ONCE membership goods, anniversary Candy Bong colorways) that disappear within hours of restock. The Ready to Be 5th world tour merch is similarly fast-moving.

Complete-set math: A TWICE album typically has 4 Korean versions × 4 US retailer variants × 9 members = 100+ unique photocards. We're realistic — most ONCE chase their bias-line not the full set. Tell us your 2–3 favorite members and we'll bundle the variants with their pulls.
Candy Bong Z + Ready To Be tour merch · lithium-friendly
The official TWICE lightstick is the Candy Bong, with the current Candy Bong Z generation using built-in rechargeable lithium. The older Candy Bong (AA-powered) is still in circulation for collectors and ships standard worldwide. Candy Bong Z requires customs paperwork — we label every lithium shipment correctly. Transit 7–14 days for Z, 3–10 days for the AA original.
For the Ready To Be 5th World Tour, we attend US-leg pop-ups (LA SoFi Stadium, Atlanta, Newark Prudential, Chicago, Las Vegas Allegiant), photograph the SKU list, and grab your wishlist. The 9-member acrylic stand set, the tour photobook, and city-specific T-shirts typically sell out within 4–6 hours of doors opening. The 10th anniversary tour (rolling out across the anniversary year) will follow the same pop-up pattern.
