TWICE: K-Pop's Best International Girl Group 融化了 ~ TWICE 敲可愛狙擊你心♥ This K-pop girl group has drawn talent▼ from all over the world. 這個韓國流行樂女團集結了來自世界各地的藝人。
With nine members, TWICE is one of the largest girl groups in the world of K-pop. They have won fans around the world with their high energy sound and fancy dance moves. Unlike most girl groups in K-pop today, a few of their members aren't Korean. Mina was born in America, Momo and Sana are both from Japan, and TWICE's youngest member, Tzuyu, was born in Taiwan. The group is called TWICE because they have two ways to make fans happy. One way is with their amazing singing skills. The other is with creative dance steps and their cool clothes. Each girl in TWICE has her own look and personality. This tells their young fans they should feel free to choose their own style, too. The group was started in 2015 on a popular TV show. Sixteen girls tried to win a spot in the group, but only nine made it. In 2015, their first album hit number 15 on Billboard's World Albums Chart. Last year, they had the top-selling album in Korea by a girl group. Now this year, TWICE became one of the biggest pop groups in Japan. Their next goal is to take the world by storm.
