From debut to now
- 2015After the survival show SIXTEEN, they debuted with Like OOH-AHH. The nine members' individual characters and bright group choreography presented a new vision of a JYP girl group.
- 2016CHEER UP and TT added signature songs with wide appeal and fixed the catchy TWICE image, down to the chorus poses people remember.
- 2017The Japanese debut album #TWICE launched their activities in Japan in earnest. Through SIGNAL that same year, they added more introductory songs in both Korea and Japan.
- 2018What is Love? showed a pop world laced with film homages and led into three consecutive MAMA Song of the Year wins.
- 2019FANCY and Feel Special brought grown-up expression, a message and the stories between members to the front, showing a maturity beyond the cute entrance.
- 2021The Feels widened the opening for English-language songs and carried TWICE's bright pop to global listeners through an entry on the Billboard Hot 100.
- 2023Jihyo's solo debut and the full debut of MISAMO made it worth following releases and official videos issued under names other than TWICE itself.
- 2024With YOU-th topped the Billboard 200, and together with Nayeon's second mini album and Tzuyu's solo work, both the overseas standing and the individual careers grew stronger.
- 2025STRATEGY, THIS IS FOR and ENEMY ran global pop, Japanese releases and the tenth-anniversary period side by side, so the group itself and the related work are best followed apart.

KPOP DISCOVER's TWICE note
What anchors TWICE is the emblematic quality of its choruses and the fact that all nine members stand on their own. JYP Entertainment debuted the nine-piece girl group on October 20, 2015 with Like OOH-AHH, then TT and CHEER UP took them to the top and fixed a catchiness people remember down to the chorus poses.
Jihyo's steady vocals as leader, Nayeon's powerful high register, Momo's dancing, Sana's presence, Mina's elegant movement, Tzuyu's visual, the rap and vocals of Dahyun and Chaeyoung, Jeongyeon's cool outline: nine personalities that stand out even within K-pop. Coming in through a scene where all nine appear together in a music video makes it easy to tell who is who.
From the maturity of FANCY and Feel Special to the global pop of STRATEGY and THIS IS FOR, 10 years can be traced along one line. Follow the three-member Japanese unit MISAMO and the solo work as well and the depth shows. TT, then FANCY, then THIS IS FOR is the shortest route.
Editors' take TT / FANCY / THIS IS FOR — a JYP nine-piece that has kept running for 10 years on emblematic choruses and nine distinct personalities.
Trivia worth knowing
Formation
TWICE came out of the JYP Entertainment survival show SIXTEEN, and from debut the nine members each had room to show a distinct character.
Fandom
ONCE works as a partner name to TWICE, which makes it easy to remember and a basic piece of context for the group.
Japan activity
Momo, Sana and Mina, the three Japanese members, also work as the unit MISAMO, carrying a more refined world than the main group.
Starter song
TT carries the signature choreography, Feel Special carries the message, and STRATEGY shows the recent global pop side.
Award
MAMA Song of the Year went to CHEER UP, SIGNAL and What is Love? in three consecutive years, which makes the strength of the signature songs easy to trace in order.
Activity unit
Solo work by Nayeon, Jihyo, Tzuyu and Chaeyoung sits apart from MISAMO, and keeping the two separate stops the large TWICE catalogue from becoming confusing.

Japan activity score
KPOP DISCOVER original metric
No. 4/ 241 groups
No. 4 of 241 groups with recorded activity in Japan (top 2%)
- 15Japanese releases
- 126Japan-related tracks
- 3Members from Japan
- 5Official Japanese accounts
The denominator is the 241 groups, out of 564 covered by KPOP DISCOVER, whose raw score reaches at least one point. The score adds 10 points per Japanese-market release, 3 per Japan-related track, 12 per member from Japan, and 8 per official Japanese account. Japanese-market releases carry the most weight because they are the most direct evidence of activity; related tracks add track-level detail; members from Japan stand for Japanese-language communication and continuity; official accounts stand for a permanent point of contact. The weights are an editorial judgement, not a statistical optimisation, and the ranking tracks release volume in Japan closely.
