Among current girls groups, K-netizens and fans discussed reasons TWICE deserved to be called a "legendary girl group in history."
How Did TWICE Write New Pages of Girl Group History? What People Are Saying
In 2023, TWICE which debuted in 2015 will celebrate its 8th debut anniversary. Prior to this, K-pop enthusiasts and netters reminisced how the nonet comprised of Nayeon, Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Mina, Sana, Momo, Dahyun, Chaeyoung and Tzuyu wrote pages for the girl group history.
In a popular web community, fans pointed out that TWICE deserved to be called one of the most legendary girl groups for various reasons including; First, the group being the first girl group to achieve 100,000 copies in its first week. This was recorded when TWICE released its album, "twicetagram" in 2017, which sold 129,691 copies a week after its release.
Secondly, TWICE is also the first girl group to have 10 million copies in total album sales. In 2022, the nine-member team reached this record with 19 released albums since its debut. According to Gaon Album Sales ( hereinafter Circle Chart), TWICE sold a total of 10,010,778 copies as of November last year.
The third and fourth reasons were TWICE being the first girl group to hold a dome and stadium tour. To clarify this, the latter was conducted in Tokyo, Osaka, Los Angeles and New York only, yet, it was truly a huge achievement to perform in a stadium, proving that they were influential enough to fill a large venue with thousands of spectators.
The fifth reason is that TWICE is among the few girl groups with the #1 songs in the yearly chart. As this kind of chart usually includes the data of mainstream music listeners, this just proved how big of a girl group is the nonet.
Sixth and last, both K-pop fans especially ONCEs (fandom) believed that TWICE's songs will remain iconic and memorable.
"When (fans) are in their 30s later, once they think back to their school days, they will think a lot about TWICE’s songs. I really listen to TWICE’s songs a lot. Every song is precious, it contains all my memories."
