Twice is a South Korean girl group formed by JYP Entertainment. The group is composed of nine members: Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Momo, Sana, Jihyo, Mina, Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu. Twice was formed under the television program Sixteen and debuted on October 20, 2015, with the EP The Story Begins.

 

Twice rose to domestic fame in 2016 with their single "Cheer Up", which charted at number one on the Gaon Digital Chart, became the best-performing single of the year, and won "Song of the Year" at the Melon Music Awards and Mnet Asian Music Awards. Their next single, "TT", from their third EP Twicecoaster: Lane 1, topped the Gaon charts for four consecutive weeks. The EP was the highest selling Korean girl group album of 2016. Within 19 months after debut, Twice had already sold over 1.2 million units of their four EPs and special album. By the end of 2021, Twice had sold over 7.29 million albums in Korea in 2019. As of December 2020, the group has sold over 10 million albums in South Korea and Japan.

 

The group debuted in Japan on June 28, 2017, under Warner Music Japan, with the release of a compilation album titled #Twice. The album charted at number 2 on the Oricon Albums Chart with the highest first-week album sales by a K-pop artist in Japan in two years. Twice became the first Korean girl group to earn a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for both an album and CD single in the same year. Twice ranked third in the Top Artist category of Billboard Japan's 2017 Year-end Rankings, and in 2019, they became the first Korean girl group to embark on a Japanese dome tour.

 

Their first official English-language single, "The Feels", became their first song to enter the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, peaking at the 83rd and 80th positions of the charts, respectively. They have been dubbed the next "Nation's Girl Group", and their point choreography—including for "Cheer Up" (2016), "TT" (2016), "Signal" (2017), and "What Is Love?" (2018)—became dance crazes and viral memes imitated by many celebrities.

Tzuyu is/was my bias. Discovered them right at Cheer Up era I think, went back and listened to Ooh-Ahh a ridiculous amount. Stream I think I'm Crazy from The Story Begins yup yup! I bob in and out of checking out their new eras, usually just hear the lead single and its just so much promo to keep up with! This photoshoot and these 2k15/16 outfits are engraved in my brain

ok now i think that it’s the dates of maybe 2 solo debuts? cause that first date is nayeon’s debut

 

i feel like the other one could be jihyo or momo. momo would deliver godly choreo, if someone else should solo debut i would want to see hers :party:
