Just after they made history as the first female K-Pop group to hold a stadium concert in the United States for the encore of the North American leg of their “III” World Tour, TWICE has finally made their in-person U.S. television debut by appearing in the famous late-night talk show The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.
The 9-member group performed their first original English single and hit bop “The Feels” on May 18, 2022 at 11:35 P.M. ET (U.S. time), and is their second performance overall for the late-night show. Their first was a pre-recorded performance of “I Can’t Stop Me” back in 2020 for the “#PlayAtHome” series.
The Late Show with Stephen Colbert is famous for being a news/political satire kind of late-night talk show, and having TWICE perform on the show of course drew in a lot of memes from ONCES. Yes, the famous girl group’s performance really just became political, with the hashtag “#TWICE_SenatePrimaryFirstWin” trending on Twitter.
Here are some of the best Tweets we’ve seen.
"I don't usually like when late night shows talk about politics but this is pretty good.""We should always find out the results of a primary election like this!!!" "Those are some lit senate primaries."😭 #TWICE_SenatePrimaryFirstWin pic.twitter.com/41AEcgvZ2w

"I was here because of politics but they are so good I stayed til the end." "Gotta hand it to North Carolina, they really know how to say farewell.""As a proud native North Carolinian, I can confirm that this is indeed how we say goodbye." 😭#TWICE_SenatePrimaryFirstWin pic.twitter.com/KosPqpJiiY
