Meantime, the agency representatives who voted for TWICE said that they chose the female Kpop group due to the members' great personalities and songs. It also worth noting that the group is currently recognized as the leader of a generational switch in Kpop, as they now enter their third year following their debut in 2015.

According to reports, their "CHEER UP" music video reached 100 million views in 207 days, which broke the record for the fastest Kpop group video to hit the milestone, Soompi reported.
