History Music / Twice

* ActionSurvivor: The girls in "BDZ". For instance, Mina's method of attack against a ConsummateProfessional law enforcement agent is... ''[[CutenessProximity distracting him through her cuteness]].'' (sadly, it doesn't work)

* CrapsackWorld: The setting for the "BDZ" MV.

* EqualOpportunityEvil: The enforcement goons in the video for "BDZ" are noticeably diverse, and the first four we see as the song begins are Black, white, western-Asian and eastern-Asian.

* HeadTurningBeauty: The sight of Jihyo elicits the most blatantly unchaste reactions from the government agents in "BDZ".

* TheOner: Attempted for the front half – about 100 seconds – of "Like OOH-AHH", but not quite pulled off. The first 82 seconds ''are'' a single continuous take but then there's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it cut to turn on the blacklight in the bathroom (also Dahyun originally kicked the door open a beat too early), followed by an even less noticeable whip-cut from Dahyun & Chaeyoung to Mina in front of the window, even though the set was intentionally designed for the camera to move through seamlessly. D/C's rap part is its own single take. Given how K-Pop music videos were known even in 2015 for crazy editing, this makes Twice's debut video stand out.

* ThePowerOfFriendship: Of the "YouAreNotAlone" variety in the "Feel Special" music video. Certain members are trapped in situations/locations — Chaeyoung is in some kind of futuristic, stark-white dome; Tzuyu is literally inside a dollhouse; Sana sits in despair, trying to find shelter from rain as the only person without an umbrella in the city; Jihyo is in a room full of TV sets; Nayeon is in a diamond-encrusted room; [[LonelyAtTheTop Jeongyeon is on a luxurious seat reminiscent of a throne, in addition to other regal imagery]]. They're isolated and acutely feel this loneliness, as you can tell from their forlorn faces. Then, they each meet another member: Chaeyoung's dome opens up to Mina, who has been traversing a forest (also of the sci-fi/fantasy nature); Momo chances upon Tzuyu's dollhouse; Dahyun, who is carrying an umbrella, smiles at Sana; Nayeon's image appears on the TV sets and she smiles at Jihyo. [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers The exception is Jeongyeon]]. Driving the theme of friendship saving one from loneliness home, Jeongyeon sees another version of ''herself,'' except undeniably ''much'' happier and surrounded by the rest of the girls.

* VisualTitleDrop: A bulldozer appears near the end of the MV for "BDZ".

** This used to be how Jeongyeon was marketed, [[https://pbs.twimg.com/media/CSBpZDRVEAEpvHp.jpg with a boyish haircut and looser clothes than others]]. She even plays a very convincing Yoo Shi-jin in their ''Descendants of the Sun'' parody. This is no longer the case following her self-imposed GirlinessUpgrade.

* DeadpanSnarker: All of the girls have their moments, but [[TheBabyOfTheBunch Tzuyu]] is this full-time. Combined with her BrutalHonesty, she uses it sometimes to diss her older members when they do something that bewilders her. There's a reason why [[https://youtu.be/-IdWWIFu0WY Savage]] [[https://youtu.be/R6frhAOv2Fo Maknae]] is one of her nicknames.

* FunPersonified: ''Dahyun.'' [[https://youtu.be/4pU8505161o Just look at her teaser for their very first single.]] Even funnier given the fact that she's well-known for being a church girl, but doesn't fit the stuffy stereotype of religious Christian youths at all.

* TheQuietOne: Mina and Tzuyu, despite the latter also being one of the snarkiest members. There was even an interview [[https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GDQhzp0kv9w clip]] that went viral because neither of them said a word amid a group conversation. A late 2022 episode of their reality show ''Time to Twice'' had Mina sleep through the whole episode, saying pretty much nothing. They're both very shy, and it shows when they're [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SPaJ-l3OXY8 left alone on VLive]]. Tzuyu's quietness extended into her acting roles in a 2016 ''SNL Korea'' episode, especially the parody of the k-drama ''The K2'', in which she only had four lines in the ten-minute skit. Mina for her part is so naturally quiet that she tends to have less than five minutes of talking in most of TWICE's content.

* BreatherEpisode: In terms of singles, LighterAndSofter Japanese single "Better" is sandwiched between their two darkest Korean singles, "I Can't Stop Me" and "Cry For Me".

* SoloSideProject: Music/{{Nayeon}} was the first to get an official solo debut with a self-titled mini album, released in June 2022. Jihyo's ''Zone'' EP, to be released in August 2023, will make her the second, though she already has a small handful of solo soundtrack appearances. Most of the other members have also uploaded [[https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLyo6W3g1j4QaJxnNDv41XLYQuXYYntyt2 solo cover songs]] on their official [=YouTube=].

** "One More Time", "What Is Love?", "BDZ", "Likey" and "Kura Kura" had them yell out the group name.

* {{Catchphrase}}:
** Twice always introduces themselves with "One in a million! Hello, we are Twice!"
** Sana has a borderline memetic one in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CJBr6qtTDR4 "Ohyo ohyo ohyo"]].

* NonAppearingTitle: "Precious Love", "Merry And Happy", "After Moon", "Rainbow", "Love Foolish", "21:29», "Oxygen", "Last Waltz", "Cactus" don't include the title in its lyrics.

* GenreRoulette: They’ve tried a lot of styles, more noticeable in their post-"Fancy" releases. These include synthpop ("I Can’t Stop Me"), Latin pop ("Hell in Heaven", "1,3,2"), EDM ("Do What We Like", most of ''&Twice''), disco ("The Feels", much of ''Formula of Love''), Bossanova ("Alcohol-Free"), piano ballad ("Promise"), rock ballad ("Cactus"), orchestral ("Cry for Me"), jazz ("Say Something"), hip hop ("Hello"), and even pop-punk ("Queen of Hearts").

* VitriolicBestBuds: the friendship of 3MIX (Nayeon, Jeongyeon, Jihyo) definitely counts. As much as they love to tease each other, their bond that has built up over all these years is unbreakable. Also Jeongyeon and Momo.

* NonAppearingTitle: "Precious Love", "Merry And Happy", "After Moon", "Rainbow", "Love Foolish", "21:29», "Oxygen", "Last Waltz", "Cactus" don't include the title in its lyrics.

** "One More Time", "What Is Love?", "BDZ", and "Kura Kura" had them yell out the group name.

* SpellMyNameWithAnS: Has happened with more than one member.
** Jeongyeon's given name was originally transliterated as "J'''u'''ngyeon" as shown in [[https://youtu.be/IRvN4QN7DI8 this reveal]] for ''SIXTEEN''. It [[https://youtu.be/2NTvxEY0yns changed]] to the current spelling by the time Twice debuted, but some longtime fans still use the older spelling.
*** That same "yeo" vowel (ㅕ) is spelled as "yu" by Dahyun and "you" by Chaeyoung – the latter is a pre-reform Romanization still used by many Koreans including JYP himself.
** Nayeon's family name is transliterated as "Lim" in official subtitles despite being pronounced by her and spelled as 임 ("Im") in Korean. The latter spelling is used by fans and Website/ThatOtherWiki. Nayeon used the latter spelling for her SelfTitledAlbum.
*** The reason there ''is'' a discrepancy is due to mandated spelling reforms to both Romanization and Hangeul itself since the Korean War. The underlying hanja (Chinese character) of her name, 林, was traditionally spelled "Lim" or "Rim" (림), but South Korean no longer allows initial-consonant "r/l" in "native" words.[[labelnote:*]] The reading is actually Chinese in origin, pronounced "Lin". There ''is'' a Korean family name that has ''always'' been spelled and pronounced "Im" (or "Yim") but its underlying hanja is 任.[[/labelnote]]

** Jihyo also got this treatment after getting a glow-up in later years, her outfits especially tending to accent her... [[BuxomBeautyStandard chest]]. Her solo debut makes this even more obvious, and her outfits were often very sexy.

* TheGadfly: When she's not acting as TeamMom, Jeongyeon just ''loves'' to screw with everyone, her most frequent targets being Nayeon and Jihyo. This extends as far as 'official' interviews/promotional material, not just behind-the-scenes/TTT content, as [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c4_9e0y1Brk&t=767s their second Ask in a Box appearance]] shows. Not even her anxiety took that trait away, if anything, Jeongyeon post-hiatus seems '''even more mischievous'''.

In May 2022, JYPE, through Twice's social media channels, announced they would release Nayeon's first solo EP – a SelfTitledAlbum – the next month, marking the first commercial solo music release for any of the members. On July 12th 2022, JYPE formally announced that all nine members had renewed their contracts, making Twice the agency's first girl-group to break the so-called "seven-year-curse", and one of the ''very'' few Korean groups to do so without losing or replacing any members.[[note]] The only other JYPE group to break the curse is BoyBand Music/TwoPM but they lost a member early on. Music/{{Got7}} doesn't count due to leaving JYPE once their contracts expired and then re-forming as an independent group. Music/{{BTS}} and Music/RedVelvet are the other major groups to have gone over seven years at the same company without any lineup change. As of this edit, Music/{{Blackpink}} has yet to hit the seven-year mark as they did not debut until mid-2016.[[/note]]

* ProfessionalVoiceDissonance: Sana's voice is deeper and less bubbly in real life than in most of TWICE's official content. Her natural voice was used in the OpeningNarration of the "BDZ" video.

[[/index]

* ''Twicetagram'' (released October 2017)

** Most artists from JYP Entertainment have a number-related name: Music/TwoAM, [[Music/TwoPM 2PM]], 15&, Baek Ayeon (baek = 100 in Korean), [[Music/GOT7 GOT7]], [[Music/{{TWICE}} TWICE]], and Music/DAY6.

** Dahyun was known for this in the early years with red-&-neon streaks, blue tips, purple, deep indigo, silver, basically the whole rainbow. It got to the point where the members joked a comeback must be coming if she dyed her hair. However she was also the first member to ''stop'' dyeing her hair – "More And More" is the last music video to date where her hair was a crazy color

** Sana has flirted with pink twice, orange, silvery lavender and bluish-black.

* [[OncePerEpisode Once Per Album]]: So far all of their post-''Music/FormulaOfLove'' Korean mini-albums, including Nayeon's solo, have included an English song as the second track. They are "No Problem" (''Im Nayeon''), "Queen of Hearts" (''Between 1&2''), and "Moonlight Sunrise" (''Ready to Be'').

* PepTalkSong: although most of TWICE's songs are about romantic love, there are some songs about loving yourself, such as "Don't Give Up", "Ponytail" and "Rainbow". Among Japanese releases: "Fake & True", "Breakthrough", "Stronger" and others.
