DID YOU KNOW
Trivia & lore
J.Y. Park chose the name because the group would touch hearts twice — once through the ears, once through the eyes.
ONCE comes from the members' 2015 line: "If you love us even once, we will repay your love with twice of our love."
Sixteen was meant to produce seven members; Tzuyu, the audience's pick, and Momo were added to make nine.
Japanese members Momo, Sana and Mina formed the sub-unit MiSaMo in 2023.
Nayeon, Jihyo, Momo and Tzuyu headlined the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show in October 2025.

TIMELINE
The journey
ORIGIN
Sixteen & formation
2015 — 2015
TWICE was assembled on the 2015 survival show Sixteen for a planned seven-member group — then J.Y. Park added Tzuyu, the audience's pick, and Momo, his own call, to make nine. The reality-show origin gave the group a built-in audience before a single note dropped.
DEBUT
Color-pop debut
2015 — 2016
Like OOH-AHH introduced a candy-bright, all-ages sound, but it was Cheer Up and TT that turned point choreography into a national pastime. The early run made TWICE the defining girl group of their generation in Korea almost overnight.

GLOBAL
Japan conquest
2017 — 2019
TWICE became one of the biggest foreign acts in Japan, racking up dome tours and platinum certifications while staying dominant at home. Fancy signalled a deliberate pivot from cutesy to a sleeker, more grown-up palette.
Anchor track: Fancy
STADIUM
English crossover
2020 — 2024
"The Feels", their first English single, gave them a first Billboard Hot 100 entry in 2021. The Ready to Be tour made them the first K-pop girl group to play a stadium in Japan and to sell out SoFi and MetLife, and the first foreign female act to headline Yokohama's Nissan Stadium.

STADIUM
This Is For
2025
Ten years in, TWICE opened Coldplay's Seoul shows, released the album This Is For, and became the first K-pop girl group to headline Lollapalooza Chicago. The 81-show This Is For tour, ending in July 2026, drew 550,000 people in North America and made them the first foreign act to play a solo show at Tokyo's National Stadium.
