TWICE's 'Candy Pop' certified platinum by Japanese industry association

SEOUL, March 19 (Yonhap) -- "Candy Pop," the latest Japanese single from South Korean girl group TWICE, has been certified platinum by Japan's recording industry association, the group's agency said Monday.

The song recently received the certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan for selling more than 400,000 copies, JYP Entertainment said.

It became the third TWICE song to be certified platinum by the association after its Japanese debut compilation album "#TWICE" and follow-up single "One More Time," released in October.

The Japanese association gives the platinum certification to albums that sell more than 250,000 copies.

TWICE is scheduled to return to the domestic music scene in early April and hold concerts titled "Twiceland Zone 2: Fantasy Park" in Seoul from May 18-20. It later plans to hold four concerts in Japan and perform in other Asian countries, including Singapore.
