* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: "Like OOH-AHH" has lyrics so questionably sexual-sounding that it veers into ValuesDissonance territory as Dahyun, Chaeyoung, and Tzuyu were minors when the song came out (or most of the group except Nayeon if you consider that in Korea the age where you're considered an adult is 19).

** Though it did score them a couple of music show wins, "Set Me Free" generally did not do very well commercially in Korea, where it is by far their lowest-charting title track on the Digital Chart[[note]] not counting the stand-alone single "Cry For Me", which didn't even get a proper music video[[/note]], but chart data indicates that some other parts of Asia, as well as New Zealand, were warmer to it, albeit not to the extent some other songs. It peaked at 94 in Korea, but 19 in Hong Kong and Malaysia, 13 in New Zealand, 12 in the Philippines, 8 in Singapore, and 2 in Taiwan.

*** Worth noting that even as the group's streaming numbers (which are considered paramount amongst K-pop's young fanbase) dropped in TheNewTwenties, their ''physical'' album sales (which earn ''far'' more in profit) have grown since ''Taste Of Love'' -- ''Between 1&2'', ''Ready To Be'', and ''With You-th'' all sold over a million physical copies.[[note]] Due to how JYPE distribution deals work, international physical sales (except Japan) are usually lumped in with the domestic Korean numbers. Thus, we have no idea just how many of those albums sold in Korea and how many were exported to the USA/Europe/etc and sold there. Still, a million is a million.[[/note]]



** On a funnier note, Chaeyoung mentioned in 2022 that she'd stop bleaching her hair for a year. No one, not Sana or even [=ONCEs=], believed her. Sure enough, when she appeared for Milan fashion week in September, her hair was dyed blonde... again.
--->'''Chaeyoung''': I'm planning not to (dye my hair) this year.
--->'''Sana''': I don't believe you.

** These are the biggest contenders for overall: "Cheer Up" was the group's BreakthroughHit, the HoYay-heavy "What Is Love?" is their most-viewed video, "Fancy" is their most-streamed song on Spotify and is well-known for transitioning the group into a more mature sound that "Feel Special" solidified, and first original English single "[[Music/FormulaOfLove The Feels]]" cemented Twice as one of the most popular K-pop girl groups in the West.

** First original English single "The Feels" was met with a lot of fanfare on release and helped solidify their international fanbase. It's also so far their most successful English single by far. While follow-up English singles "Moonlight Sunrise" and "I Got You" have been well received by the fandom (especially the latter), neither (especially not the latter) have had anywhere near as much of a global impact. "The Feels" has also had the side effect of causing immediate follow-up "Scientist" to be largely dismissed despite [[Music/FormulaOfLove its album]] being one of their best-received releases.

"The Feels" is definitely a Tough Act To Follow, though I still need to wait six months to confirm if it's also a case of First Installment Wins for their English singles ("I Got You" is the third).

** Despite having been dubbed the "nation's girl group" in Korea during their bubblegum era, Twice has generally been more popular in Japan than in Korea since around the start of TheNewTwenties. While their original Japanese releases obviously don't qualify for this trope, almost all of their post-"Fancy" Korean title tracks have been bigger hits in Japan than in Korea. Their English singles have also been bigger hits in Japan than in either Korea or the English-speaking countries.

** Although TWICE is very popular in the Philippines, Chaeyoung is arguably ''the most'' popular member, as shown from concert goers dressing in outfits she's worn to screaming her name during her parts and when she appears in the concert [=VCRs=]. All of these actions are more notable considering that in their second concert in the Philippines, Chaeyoung was forced to sit it out due to health issues.

* LGBTFanbase: Even putting aside needless speculation on the members' actual sexualities, it's easy to see why Twice have a sizable LGBT following from the "What Is Love?" MV alone. For example: the visuals of two attractive Asian girls playing the OfficialCouple in ''Film/LaLaLand'', for which the most notorious criticism is that the film is racist/too white, can be and has been heavily appreciated without any regard to Momo's or Tzuyu's real-life romantic preferences. Also, Chaeyoung has been about as openly supportive of LGBT as one can be in Korea and not get in trouble.
