Musical Characteristics and Sub-units


In their early days, TWICE's music focused on delivering positive energy to the public based on the bright and upbeat Color Pop genre. Their highly addictive hooks and easy-to-follow point choreographies quickly led them to the center of a musical syndrome. Starting with the FANCY YOU album, they successfully diversified their genres by incorporating electronic pop, synth-pop, and dancehall, building a more mature and captivating sound as artists.

Beyond group activities, the members are showcasing their hidden potential through sub-unit and solo projects. MISAMO, the first sub-unit consisting of Mina, Sana, and Momo, created a huge sensation in the Japanese market with their elegant and sophisticated performances. Furthermore, members like Nayeon, Jihyo, and Tzuyu have successfully launched solo activities that distinctly captured their individual colors, proving their immense influence as solo artists.

Their achievements on the global stage are even more dazzling. They became the first K-POP girl group to successfully hold a Japanese dome tour and a US stadium tour, boasting worldwide ticket power.
