TWICE “SET ME FREE” M/V

TWICE, a nine-member girl group from South Korea, is known for their captivating dance performances.

They debuted in 2015 and gained popularity with hit songs such as “CHEER UP.” In 2016, they achieved 11 wins in South Korea and received numerous awards, including Best Song at the Melon Music Awards.

TWICE’s music features catchy melodies and addictive choreography that continues to captivate fans.

Centered around Momo, who excels at dancing, each of the nine members brings out her own individuality in performances that are a must-see.

I also think one of their charms is the choreography that makes full use of their large group size.

This track stands out with its catchy melody and powerful dance beat.

Centered on the beginning of a romance, it adorably captures a girl’s feelings.

Released in October 2012, the song was featured in a Samantha Thavasa commercial and as the ending theme for TV Asahi’s “Onegai! Ranking,” gaining popularity across a wide audience.

With its upbeat rhythm and friendly lyrics, it’s the perfect tune to liven up a dance party or a get-together with friends.
